The Hidden Island (Ig Publishing), by Abraham Jiménez Enoa situates its concerns in the lives of everyday Cubans, most of them struggling to eke out an existence against bleakly oppressive odds. These essays take contemporary Cuba out of the frame of an idyllic tourist destination, going behind those fabrications to showcase the grim realities of what it means to be a poor, working-class citizen of the island. From underground lottery workers to illegal women’s boxing professionals, The Hidden Island makes room for even the most marginalized of voices to emerge, and for a broad swathe of injustices to be uncovered.
