Beyond the throngs of tourists streaming through Central Havana's
broad Prado Avenue, and outside the yoke of Castro's 43-year-old
Revolutionary program, there exists a parallel Cuba - a separate
evolution of a people struggling to survive. With personal stories
that depict a people torn between following the directives of their
government and finding a way to better their lot, journalist Ben
Corbett gives us the daily life of many considered outlaws by
Castro's regime. But are they outlaws or rather ingenious survivors
of what many Cubans consider to be a forty-year mistake, a tangle
of contradictions that has resulted in a strange hybrid of
American-style capitalism and a homegrown black market economy.At a
time when Cuba walks precariously on the ledge between socialism
and capitalism, "This Is Cuba" gets to the heart of this so-called
outlaw culture, taking readers into the living rooms, rooftops,
parks, and city streets to hear stories of frustration, hope, and
survival. Updated with a new preface.
