The 1990s were a time of dramatic transformation for Cuba. With the collapse of its Cold War relationship with the Soviet Union, the island nation plummeted into an era of scarcity and uncertainty known as the Special Period, a time from which it emerged only slowly in the new century. On Location in Cuba views these pivotal decades through the lens of cinema. Ann Marie Stock conducted hundreds of interviews and conversations in Cuba to examine individual artists' lives and creative output--including film, video, and audiovisual art. She explores the impact of the Cold War's end, the economic crisis that ensued, and the decentralization of the state's political, economic, and cultural apparatus. Stock focuses on what she calls Street Filmmaking--the production of emerging audiovisual artists who work outside the state film industry--to examine the island's transformation and changing notions of Cuban identity. Employing entrepreneurial approaches to producing art and to negotiating the exigencies of globalization, this younger generation of filmmakers offers fresh perspectives on what it means to be Cuban in an increasingly complex and connected world.
This study focusses on what the author calls Street Filmmaking - the production of audiovisual artists who work outside the state film industry - to examine the island's transformation and changing notions of Cuban identity.

My family has always been interested in politics. I inherited this interest from my father, who devoured the newspaper every night and was always well informed. My mother's interest never waned until a series of strokes eroded her memory. So it was natural for me to maintain an interest in current events. My small book is about four fictional characters who join the Marines and then are caught up in the current war in Iraq. If my political interest shines through, well, I don't apologize for that. I tried, however, to be fairminded. I have followed the war for years, and in fact have several scrapbooks packed with information about it. I have read the 9/11 report. So, after reading, listening, and studying, I decided to fashion a story that may interest the readers. In any case, I went forward with this and found the experience of following my four friends enjoyable and cathartic at the same time. I hope the reader does as well.
The landmark Drake House had seen its share of tragedy with two deaths in the past six months. Deaths or murders?

Returning to Jenkins Cove brought back painful memories of her father and of Brandon, the man she'd loved and lost a decade ago. But now the widowed Brandon was dark and brooding, and the house whispered of hidden secrets and eerie threats, which Marie had no choice but to ignore. She wanted the man she'd never stopped loving, and she wanted to catch a killer.
