The extraordinary, and largely unchronicled, account of the Cuban
people's struggle for survival in a post-Soviet world In the
aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union, Cuba faced the start of
a crisis that decimated its economy. Helen Yaffe examines the
astonishing developments that took place during and beyond this
period. Drawing on archival research and interviews with Cuban
leaders, thinkers, and activists, this book tells the remarkable
story of how Cuba survived while the rest of the Soviet bloc
crumbled. Drawing on contemporary events Yaffe shows how Cuba has
been gradually introducing select market reforms. The government
claims that these are necessary to sustain its socialist system,
but many others believe they herald a return to capitalism.
Examining key domestic initiatives including the creation of one of
the world's leading biotechnological industries, its energy
revolution, and medical internationalism alongside recent economic
reforms, she shows why the revolution will continue post-Castro.
This is a fresh, definitive account of Cuba's socialist revolution
and the challenges it faces on its sixtieth anniversary.
