In January 2019, I visited Santiago, Cuba, on a study abroad program, with seven of my students. They wanted to see and experience the “mythic” land about which single-sided stories predominate: a litany of distorted accounts of a malfunctioning society; a country that hung on to communism, an obsolete ideology; hyperbolic tales of repression; hordes fleeing an ugly communist dictatorship; a country training terrorists to harm the rest of the world, etc.
