Author Carlos Eire will present “Still Waiting for Snow in Havana” at Randolph-Macon College on September 28, 2017 at 7 p.m. in Brock Commons, Dollar Tree Community Room (304) Henry Street. This event is free and open to the public. Map and Directions

Historians often rely on memoirs in their research, but seldom write memoirs of their own. Waiting for Snow in Havana is a rare exception. Seventeen years after writing the book, Eire, one of 14,000 children airlifted from Cuba in 1962 during its revolution, will reflect on the complex relationship between personal memory and history, and on the difficulty of dislodging deeply held beliefs based on lies, ideological propaganda, and misconceptions of history. Waiting for Snow in Havana won a National Book Award.

This event is sponsored by the Departments of Political Science, English, Religious Studies, and History, and by the Committee on Assemblies and Special Events (CASE).
