Cuba: From Gunboat Diplomacy to Good Neighbor Policy at The Wolfsonian–FIU Museum

Trough May 15, 2016

Examining US-Cuba relations in the early 20th Century, this installation traces American foreign policy from Roosevelt’s “big stick” diplomacy and push for American involvement in the Cuban War of Independence in 1898 to the more conciliatory approach of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Good Neighbor Policy in 1933.

Works selected by FIU undergraduate students will be drawn from The Wolfsonian–FIU Library’s collection—illustrated sheet music covers from the Spanish-American War, rare books and photographs from the Jean S. and Frederic A. Sharf Collection, and photographs and ephemera from donor Vicki Gold Levi.
