Set in the mid-nineteenth century, the narrative explores the lives of influential Cuban writers who settled in the U.S. and produced a diverse range of literature. These exiled authors collaborated with military movements called filibusters, crafting newspapers, pamphlets, and books that advocated for Cuban independence from Spain. Their works reflect a desire for political change and a complex relationship with the idea of U.S. alliance or annexation, highlighting the intersection of literature and activism during a pivotal time in history.
