Publisher's Synopsis

Americans have always imagined and described Cuba and its relationship to the United States by a variety of images including Cuba as a woman and a neighbour. The author argues that metaphor was central to the US imperial project as a way of transforming the pursuit of national self-interest into the lofty purpose of moral duty.
