A History of Little Havana (The History Press, 2015)
I co-authored a “people’s history” of Little Havana: the first book offering an in-depth history of this famous neighborhood, with a focus on the contributions of Cubans and other Latino residents. My co-author is renowned Cuban American sociologist Guillermo Grenier.

Imagine Miami a Better Place
I also wrote the concluding guest essay in the anthology Punto de Partida: Stories of Truth and Hope, edited by longtime El Nuevo Herald columnist Daniel Shoer Roth, published in 2007.


Articles
“Orisha Dances in Little Havana” Cuban Counterpoints
I was a columnist for Little Havana’s community newspaper, Calle Ocho News. You can find my articles for the paper here. All of them have also been published in the print version of the newspaper, in both English and Spanish.
On this site I will also be posting some of my previous unpublished articles and other writings:
