LOUIS A. PEREZ, Jr. is Graduate Research Professor in the Department of History at the University of South Florida. He also compiled Cuba: An Annotated Bibliography (Greenwood Press, 1988).
?He provides the reader interested in Cuban themes a veritable mine
of information. In many ways, though, this is only to be expected
from Professor Perez, clearly the most insightful (and most
prolific) of historians around the world specializing in Cuban
history. In sum, this is a fine work, detailing some 520
collections of archival documents found in the United States, which
most Cuba-watchers were simply unaware of. Professor Perez is to be
commended for using his vast knowledge of Cuban history to provide
such a useful service to the academic community, for this
collection is indeed a must for all interested in Cuban
history.?-Revista Interamericana De Bibliografia
?The many scholarly, substantial, and authoritative works by
research professor Perez in the fields of Cuban history, politics
and government, and bibliography have, over the past decade and
more, received their just recognition. The present guide, a
valuable tool for the historical researcher in locating and
identifying Cuban archive and manuscript materials in the US, is
yet another excellent contribution. Conception of this bibliography
was based on the assumption of the existence in the US of
extensive, unknown, and unutilized collections of such material
with the potential to supplement, but not substitute for, the
archival documentation to be found in Cuba. However, as the
compiler implies, with access to sources within Cuba often
precluded by restrictions imposed by the Cuban government, the US
sources here mentioned assume even greater importance. All time
periods are covered. Organization is alphabetical by US state;
under each state collections are identified and annotated, and the
addresses of the depository institutions are provided. The 520
entries are indexed by collection and by subject.?-Choice
