Reports of poverty and waves of refugees have given most Americans the impression that contemporary Cuba is paralyzed by communist austerity and drained by economic isolation. Yet in Cuba y Cuba, Rene' Burri, a Swiss-born documentary photographer who has turned his lens on the island since the early 1960s, records a people emanating quiet pride even as they wait for a change.

Burri reveals a...human element in Cuba, a land still sorely in need of a paint job, as evidenced by his bright color snaps of the economically challenged island nation. The concrete may be crumbling, but the human spirit will prevail is the message of these mainly color shots. Of course, there are Castro, Che and cigars here, but it is the smiling faces of children, who know not of the Bay of Pigs or some old missile crisis, that give this book and the Cuban nation its appeal -- Fred W. and Gloria S. McDarrah, The Picture Professional, Issue 3, 1998
