"[A] fascinating portrait of a city across time."
*Design Observer*
"[T]he next best thing to being there that we’ll probably ever
have….It’s rare that one gets to so colorfully visit a city without
leaving the house."
*The Miami Sun Post*
"Awestruck visitors to Cuba’s gorgeous capital most often ask the
question—who will protect these architectural treasures once the
American embargo ends and the commercial onslaught begins? Havana
Revisited: An Architectural Heritage provides the powerful answer
that the greatest curators of Havana’s past will also be the most
passionate champions of Havana’s future, the Cuban people
themselves. This book reminds us how deeply Cubans are attached to
their capital and how jealously they have protected its landmarks
for five hundred years."
*Sarah Stephens, executive director, Center for Democracy in the
Americas*
"Havana Revisited captures the architectural essence of a city
where past and present comingle in mysterious ways. Juxtaposing
images of old and new, accompanied by astute prose, this exquisite
book bridges the expanse of time and does something extraordinary:
it takes you on a journey to an era long ago while remaining rooted
in the here and now. !Viva la habana!"
*T. J. English, author of Havana Nocturne*
"Griffith’s images and the maps are extremely useful to students of
Cuban architecture, and will be of great interest to general
readers curious about the capital….those who are unable to visit
can ‘see’ at least some of the city in this beautiful volume."
*Wellesley Magazine*
