But the tighter Cuba travel restrictions that President Bush imposed in 2004 means Hector can't visit his abuela as much as he used to - and he's voting for Obama in part because the Illinois Senator has promised to revoke the travel rules. "I've been thinking about that a lot since I heard Obama's grandmother died way out in Hawaii yesterday," said Martinez, rubbing...
...Show de George L?pez? es una historia de ?xito sobre la base de una tragedia. De 44 a?os, L?pez fue abandonado por sus padres cuando era ni?o y creci? al cuidado de su abuela, de quien el propio comediante cuenta que era despreciable e incapaz de mostrar afecto.

But her Americanized daughter Pilar, born in Cuba when the revolution was 11 days old, misses her abuela: "Every day Cuba fades a little more inside me, my grandmother fades a little more inside me. And there's only my imagination where our history should...
Garcia's imagination is ambitious. Not only does she reunite Pilar with her grandmother; she also claims her own aesthetic identity. Like a priestess, in passages of beautiful island incantation, she conjures her Cuban heritage from a land between "death and oblivion," so that she too can fasten on Abuela Celia's drop pearl earrings, sit in a wicker swing by the sea, and watch as the radiant spirits of her forefathers "stretch out a colossal hand...
