Cuba 1964: When the Revolution Was Young
In 1964 Deena Stryker traveled to Cuba to interview the original "Twelve" leaders of the Revolution. The members of the government, including Fidel Castro, Raul Castro, Che Guevara and Celia Sanchez, spoke to her informally, occasionally talking about each other. They shared the original intentions of the Revolution and the changes they planned for Cuba. The photographs are now part of a collection at Duke University. Stryker returned to Cuba in 2011, taking the color pictures in the Epilogue.

A TAOIST POLITICS: The Case for Sacredness
(Revised edition of The Case for Sacredness: A Transformation from Linear to Circular Thinking.
Ten years in the writing, this book draws on the work of scientists and others to show that religion is not necessary for serenity. It outlines an alternative approach to dealing with the Islamic challenge to modernity within a context of sustainable development.
It hopes to change the way both seekers and skeptics look at spirituality - and at the daunting problems of the 21st century. Revealing the commonalities between modern physics, biology and ancient wisdom, it shows that we are part of the order/disorder dyad that constitutes the world. "God" is another word for order/disorder, therefore religious belief is not useful in dealing with that ubiquitous phenomenon. Awareness that the sacredness of every type of life is the only absolute can provide the serenity we do not find in religion.
