Hispanic Heritage Celebrate with Gigi Anders author of "Jubana"

Celebre el Mes de la Herencia Hispana con Gigi Anders, autora de Jubana

English: According to Gigi Anders, when you’re a bride-to-be ‘Jubana’ in America, or a Cuban Jewess in the US of A, you have to know you’re heading straight into the mondo-bizarro jaws of cross-cultural hell. As the granddaughter of Boris and Dora, destitute teenagers from Russia and Lithuania who immigrated to Cuba in the early 20s, Gigi experienced what can best be described as life as a quintessential Jewish Cuban Princess, or JCP. This program is made possible with generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Hearst Foundation.
Spanish: Según Gigi Anders, cuando eres una futura novia Jubana en Estados Unidos, o una judía cubana en los EE. UU., debes saber que te diriges directamente a las fauces mondo-bizarras del infierno intercultural. Como nieta de Boris y Dora, adolescentes indigentes de Rusia y Lituania que emigraron a Cuba a principios de los años 20, Gigi experimentó lo que mejor se puede describir como la vida de una princesa judía cubana por excelencia, o JCP.
