Join us for a conversation with author and essayist Ana Hebra Flaster as we discuss her memoir\, Property of the Revolution: From a Cuban Barrio to a New Hampshire Mill Town.

\n< p>Ana Hebra Flaster was six years old when her working-class family was ki cked out of their Havana barrio for opposing communism. Once devoted revol utionaries themselves but disillusioned by the Castro government&rsquo\;s repressive tactics\, they fled to the U.S. The permanent losses they suffe red &mdash\; of home\, country\, and loved ones\, all within forty-eight h ours &mdash\; haunted her multigenerational family as they reclaimed their lives and freedom in 1967 New Hampshire. There\, they fed each other stor ies of their scrappy barrio to resurrect their lost world and fortify them selves for a daunting task: building a new life in a foreign land.
