- Book Synopsis
- A sumptuously illustrated and vivid account of the deep ties that bridge the histories and cultures of two colourful and storied port citiesMobile and Havana: Sisters across the Gulf presents a beautifully written and illustrated survey of the many historic linkages between these exotic port cities. Through an effortless blending of word and image, John S. Sledge, Alicia García-Santana, Chip Cooper, and Julio A. Larramendi, historians and photographers from each side of the basin, share a colourful, complex, and sometimes difficult story never before fully told. Over twenty years ago, Mobile's visionary municipal archivist Jay Higginbotham remarked, "Mobile, Alabama, and Havana, Cuba, have only three things in common. The past, the present, and the future." This book demonstrates just how much that is the case.
