Cuba; it Matters THIS IS A HISTORIC TIME. After more than 50 years the United States and Cuba have reestablished diplomatic relations and it is important for both countries and the Americas that they “get it right”! Cuba: It Matters is a unique book. The authors are pioneers in building relations between the two countries. They have almost 70 years of combined experience in US/Latin American relations. In their work with Cuba ,they have visited the country almost 100 times. This book was not written because Cuba is the “flavor of the day”. It was written because the two authors have a real passion to contribute to the building of bridges connecting the two countries. Cuba: It Matters is timely because of the reopening of diplomatic relations but it is also shares enduring lessons learned in dealing with the U.S. and Cuba. The book addresses the long and conflictive history between the two countries and it proposes guide lines for developing a mutually beneficial relationship. It delves into the dynamics of compelling reasons that have finally brought both countries to the negotiations table and it explores the power of Miami Mania and the Cuban resistance which could yet side track fruitful negotiations. For the individual or company that wants to do business in Cuba, the authors share their experience in negotiations over the last 15 years in Cuba. It is not business as usual , both countries and people have to change laws, customs, pre conceived notions and together recognize that they have the opportunity to “get it right” but, as they say in Cuba……no es facil. (It is not easy.) At this juncture a tremendous amount of Passion, Persistence and Patience is required. Those “Three P’s “can be in conflict with the immediate objectives of US business and US and Cuban government policy. In so many ways, this is new territory. So that you can understand the authors’ motivation in working on this book for over two years, they have shared their Two Paths to One Conclusion. . Maria’s story portraits the epic journey she encountered in leaving her beloved Cuba. Her story, reflexes the experiences of her generation, who were torn from their homeland. Jay’s 40 year odyssey led him from a deeply segregated south in the United States thru a Mexico struggling for democracy, to a Nicaragua facing a Sandinista movement into a Venezuela paralyzed by great wealth and great corruption. The reader will be captivated by the original dialogue style. How the authors came together and discovered they had two distinct paths with one conclusion. Cuba: It Matters offers a blue print of what may happen after the euphoria, steps that can be implemented by the two governments and the private sectors and the challenges ahead that must be overcome by the U.S. and Cuba . “Cuba; It Matters” is a must read for those interested in building a bridge for the Americas!

The embargo fits Einstein's definition of insanity - it has proven not to be effective, it's time to let the rhetoric go
By E. Loynaz
I recently met Jay at a meeting dealing with Cuba, and was immediately impressed with his knowledge of the culture and his keen sense of how things work on the island, only to find out he had not only being doing business there for 15 years... he had co-authored a book on the topic. He was open about the fact that some chapters needed to be revised, but I found the book relatively current, meaningful - and highly informative. Things are changing so fast in the normalization of the Cuban-American "trade" relations that even if you published a book today, by July there may be a different set of rules in play... hopefully, the end of the embargo. I highly recommend this book.
As a point of reference, I was almost 10 years old when I left Cuba with my mom, dad and sister on January 6th, 1968 - the Freedom Flight generation. I adapted very quickly to my new environment. My parents were apolitical, or at least they did not dwell too much on the why we now found ourselves in Miami, they simply adopted the pragmatism of the Cuban culture and setout to make sure my sister and I had a roof over our heads, and an education. My dad was an R&D Chemist, who had worked for ESSO Standard Oil in Cuba, and an intellectual - he already was fluent in English, despite a heavy accent, while my mom was a housewife, and tended to the care of my older sister and me. At that time, the stigma of being a refugee, or "REF" as we were referred to in school was one to avoid, so I blended in, avoided the stereotype, and to some degree separated myself from the roots.
In June 2016 I did my first trip to Cuba on business, with mixed feelings. My sister recalls my dads words as we were leaving: "look back, you'll never be back" - this was true for my father and mother, both died in Miami, and never returned. I had the curiosity to see and validate the memories engraved as a 10 year-old with reality - that was an emotional roller coaster, and although I had some vivid memories (still photos), I learned that as a child, your mind amplified certain aspects, which gave me a deeper, different perspective and a better understanding on how to relate to my younger sons (I have 4, ages 5, 12, 33, and 35). So the trip piqued my interest in Cuba, now, after my second visit, I decided I want to bridge these two cultures. I read the book, as I have been doing business in Latin America for over 25 years, and for that matter around the world, and although I considered myself a citizen of the globe, I fully accepted knowing very little about the country responsible for my formative years... I consider this book is a good intro to whet my appetite, and a must read if you are unfamiliar with the culture or the history.
The Cultural aspects to me are well known, as I was raised in Cuba, and later little Havana, in a primarily Cuban family, so I found Jay's comments more relevant to me, yet Maria's comments did provide some relational insights regarding some of the Miami "old guard". One bit of data in the book I found interesting was a quote, by a Florida Congressman who touts the codifying of the embargo bill, as his greatest accomplishment, and it made me wonder... an elected official, paid by tax-payers money from the State of Florida to represent the interests of the State and its citizens... focused most of his career on a bill regarding a country outside of the jurisdiction he was elected to represent - was that the best use of "our collective" tax Dollars? Cuba matters, but a little more to some than others - relatively speaking, I've raised my boys here in the State of Florida - selfishly, Education ranks higher, despite being a Cuban-American. I can only imagine that it matter even less to a non Cuban-American, although Jay may be an exception. Look, I have inherited the same apolitical attitude as my parents, I don't know the man so I can't judge, but the effort seemed misguided and driven by personal passion. Today, with a changing demographic, where the "old guard" is no longer a majority, we need to reassess whether or not this is representative of the current citizens' view.
Jesus said He who is free of sins may cast the first stone, and no individual, or country, or religion for that matter can look back in its past and rid him or itself of some atrocities. We need to realize, after 57 plus years that Cuba is a sovereign nation. As a culture, we should know better than to think Cubans, on either side of the ocean, would yield on their believes, especially... against their will - no somos faciles - we are a PROUD people, and since birth have been taught what anyone can do, we can certainly do it better (we are told we are unlike anyone else, at least we are made to believe it) . And possibly, it is this blind pride, this characteristic that led to our current situation (on both sides). Some want a democratic Cuba, yet one of the principles of our adopted American Values is to respect others beliefs, as in freedom of speech - yet, if someone differs from our opinion, we are quick to coerce and call names, or even threaten. We need to understand the current situation, it is what it is, and leverage the commonalities that intersect transversally across the three cultures, the humane strand that bonds us as human beings.
As Americans, Cuban-Americans, let's uphold the constitution of this great nation, which took us in with open arms, and let's live by its values, as we verbally committed to do, under oath. If other countries, differ, let's respect their wishes and sovereignty to decide for themselves. Cuba and the US can benefit from normalizing its relations - we are neighbors. It's not about who is right or wrong, it's different, and we can agree to disagree, yet be "neighborly".
