In Cuba Was Different, Even Sandvik Underlid explores the views of
Cuban authorities, official press, and Party members as they
reflect back on the collapse of Soviet and Eastern European
socialism. In so doing, he contributes to a better understanding as
to why the Cuban system-often associated with Fidel Castro
leadership-did not itself collapse. Despite the loss of its most
important allies, key ideological referents, and even most of its
foreign trade, Cuba did not embrace capitalism. The author
critically examines and analyzes the collapse of the USSR and
Eastern Europe as reported in the Cuban Communist Party newspaper
Granma, both as they unfolded and subsequently through the lens of
additional interviews with individual Party members. This focus on
Cuba's Communist Party provides new perspectives on how these
events were seen from Cuba and on the notable resilience of many
party members.
