For more than 250 years, Cuba has held a distinctive place in the American imagination. It has been viewed both as a close, familiar neighbor and as an exotic destination—at times a friendly, dependable extension of the United States, and at others an unpredictable and potentially dangerous foreign nation just “90 miles from home.” In imagining Cuba, Americans also reflect their understanding of the United States itself and its role in the world.
