Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. George Bernard Shaw

A week in Cuba

Cuba is the emblem of the struggle between cultural identity and personal freedom. Can individual choice be submitted to restrictions to preserve national identity and local culture? Should multiculturalism be restricted to a defilé of tourists to allow money to pour down the veins of a country dependent on its own stereotype?

Some of these pictures have been taken by Laurette. Credits below
