In C. Wright Mills and the Cuban Revolution, A. Javier Trevino
reconsiders the opinions, perspectives, and insights of the Cubans
that Mills interviewed during his visit to the island in 1960. On
returning to the United States, the esteemed and controversial
sociologist wrote a small paperback on much of what he had heard
and seen, which he published as Listen, Yankee: The Revolution in
Cuba. Those interviews--now transcribed and translated--are
interwoven here with extensive annotations to explain and
contextualize their content. Readers will be able to ""hear"" Mills
as an expert interviewer and ascertain how he used what he learned
from his informants. Trevino also recounts the experiences of four
central figures whose lives became inextricably intertwined during
that fateful summer of 1960: C. Wright Mills, Fidel Castro, Juan
Arcocha, and Jean-Paul Sartre. The singular event that compelled
their biographies to intersect at a decisive moment in the history
of Cold War geopolitics--with its attendant animosities and
intrigues--was the Cuban Revolution.
