Alejandro L. Madrid draws on oral history, archival work, and ethnography to offer the first in-depth biography of the artist. Breaking from a chronological account, Madrid looks at León through the issues that have informed and defined moments in her life and her professional works. León’s words become a starting ground--but also a counterpoint--to the accounts of the people in her orbit. What emerges is more than an extraordinary portrait of an artist's journey. It is a story of how a human being reacts to the challenges thrown at her by history itself, be it the Cuban revolution or the struggle for civil and individual rights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNuanced and multifaceted, \u003ci\u003eTania León's Stride\u003c\/i\u003e looks at the life, legacy, and milieu that created and sustained one of the most important figures in American classical music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 440g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 155 x 234 x 19 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780252086014\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alejandro L.
