Postmodern Cultural Complexities: the Two Worlds on Cuba Street

This paper presents an investigation of the cultural worlds on Cuba Street, Wellington New Zealand. The pre-modern culture of Cuba as hijacked by Wellingtonians is shown as a postmodern spectacle. This demonstration of the adoption and adaption of Cuban culture in Cuba Street applies postmodern theory as an analytical framework.
