Description
This is a photograph of a woman and a man offering tobacco to a grave. The back reads: "The Cubans never had assimilated perfectly the significance of "Chen Min". This woman, for example, does not appear very convinced of the presence of the ancestors around her, nor that these recieved the tobacco and packs of cigarettes that she and her friend smoke but contribute with respect and enthusiasm to perpetuate the traditions of the Association of Chinese Settlers."
