Join us as we welcome Tom Hayden, American social and political activist, author, politician, and director of the Peace and Justice Resource Center in Culver City, California will discuss and sign copies of his new book Listen, Yankee! Why Cuba Matters (Seven Stories Press) at Source Booksellers in Midtown Detroit.
Listen, Yankee is informed by the author's unique history—not only as an observer of Cuba's complex and intricate past, but also as a revolutionary leader of student movements in the U.S., one whose efforts to mobilize political change in the U.S. mirrored a simultaneous radical transformation in Cuba. There are chapters devoted to the writings of Che Guevara, Regis Debray, and C. Wright Mills; the Cuban Missile Crisis; the Weather Underground; the assassination of JFK; the strong historical links between Cuba and Africa; the Carter era; the Clinton era; the Cuban 5; and Elián González. Throughout, Hayden carefully documents the remarkable influence Cuba has long exerted across Latin America. And, perhaps most importantly, he rightly presents the great opportunity both countries now have to finally find common ground to the advantage of Cubans and Americans alike.
The program takes place in the The Auburn Great Room, upstairs from Source Booksellers at 4240 Cass Avenue in Midtown.
The event, which includes a reception in the store after the talk, is free and open to the public.

Listen, Yankee! Why Cuba Matters is available for purchase at Source Booksellers prior to the book signing and on the day of the event.
