Cuba Past and Present: An Arduous Journey Towards Self- Determination

Más información sobre el libro

Decades of political and economic suppression in Cuba highlight the inhumane governance by Spanish colonizers and the subsequent US oversight, which exacerbated internal divisions. The text explores the lead-up to the 1959 revolution, positioning Cuba in the center of the East/West conflict, and examines the alliance between the Kremlin and the Cuban Communist Party. It also details Washington's responses, including coup attempts and sanctions, while emphasizing Cuba's ongoing struggle for social justice in the post-Cold War period and proposing alternatives for progress.
