Published in early 1953the same year as the Moncada Barracks uprisingRoberts' work serves as both a historical narrative and a travel guide for the discerning 'Yanqui' visitor. The text traces the city's evolution from its founding through the colonial era to the accession of Fulgencio Batista. Unlike the ephemeral travel brochures of the era, Roberts provides a deep cultural context, exploring the architecture, the social strata, and the complex history that made Havana the most Parisian city of the Caribbean.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- W. Adolphe Roberts, a Jamaican-born writer and historian, brought a Pan-Caribbean perspective to his work. In Havana, he captures the Jai-Alai energy and colonial grandeur of a city on the brink of total transformation. For the Florida show, this book resonates with the shared maritime and cultural history of the Straits of Florida, representing a lost era of open travel and architectural opulence.
