Description:	Th is case study advocates using the ethnographic method to elicit plural versions of local history and thus contributes to the understanding of a more inclusive and diverse social history. Th is approach, which can be replicated in a variety of situations, is particularly persuasive when the voice of immigrants is deemed relevant to tell national history. Immigration speaks to global con- nections: we should resist the provincialism of narrowing immigrant life to a particular place at a particular time. Villa Clara’s case study may be used to open up research that connects immigration, memory, history, ethnography, heritage, and culture and to understand the political economy of memory and forgetfulness.
