Introduction : making diaspora in the shadow of empire and Jim Crow -- Forging diaspora in the midst of empire : the Tuskegee-Cuba connection -- Un dios, un fin, un destino : enacting diaspora in the Garvey movement -- Blues and son from Harlem to Havana -- Destination without humiliation : Black travel within the routes of discrimination.

Drawing on archival sources in both countries, Guridy traces four encounters between Afro-Cubans and African Americans. These hidden histories of cultural interaction--of Cuban students attending Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee Institute, the rise of Garveyism, the Havana-Harlem cultural connection during the Harlem Renaissance and Afro-Cubanism movement, and the creation of black travel networks during the Good Neighbor and early Cold War eras--illustrate the significance of cross-national linkages to the ways both Afro-descended populations negotiated the entangled processes of U.S. imperial.
