Reviews

Philip Brenner, School of International Service, American University:

"Other Diplomacies, Other Ties makes an impressive contribution to our understanding of both Canadian and Cuban foreign policy. Deploying a unique mix of Canadian and Cuban scholars, the book covers key topics with a remarkable freshness and erudition. It includes analyses of traditional interstate diplomacy, and importantly goes beyond a conventional approach by highlighting the significant contribution non-state actors have made via ‘other diplomacies’ in forging a workable, ‘normal’ relationship between the two countries."

Gillian McGillivray, Department of History, Glendon College, York University:

"Jam-packed with original theory, research, and fascinating arguments and anecdotes, the chapters in　Other Diplomacies, Other Ties speak to a multidisciplinary range of issues from the personal and ‘soft’ to the political and economic aspects of Canadian-Cuban relations. All of this, in a broad hemispheric context. The authors’ innovative research offers lots of new insights to the well initiated but is also accessibly written for newcomers to the subject matter."

Louis A. Pérez, Jr, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill:

"A long-overdue and much-welcome recognition of the importance of the Cuba-Canada relationship, Other Diplomacies, Other Ties provides incisive, multinational perspectives on one of the most compelling histories of inter-American relations."
