Distinguished curator and professor at the University of Missouri, Juanamar\u00eda Cordones-Cook, has been studying Hispanic-American literature, culture, and the arts of the African diaspora. In her role as a documentarian, she has produced nearly 40 audiovisual materials on Cuban artists and intellectuals, some of which are showcased in Afro-Cuban Legacies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The integration of these expressions serves as a bridge to establish academic connections between the bustling university scene in the city of Columbia and an integral part of that grand tree known as Cuban culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
