The Evolution and Significance of the Cuban Revolution

Meer over het boek

The narrative explores the Cuban revolutionary movement from 1868 to 1959 as an ongoing quest for political independence and social transformation. It highlights Cuba's role as a beacon of hope for the Third World, emphasizing the shift of power from a foreign-dependent elite to the people, who established structures of popular democracy. The book also connects Cuba's persistence with the resurgence of social movements in Latin America and critiques the unsustainable nature of the capitalist world-economy, suggesting fertile ground for democratic socialist revolutions in the North.
