This accessible, up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to
modern Cuba provides an overview of Cuban history with particular
emphasis on the country's post-Soviet economic collapse, the
measures that President Castro's government took in response, and
their ensuing results and impact. This book neither paints Cuba as
a perfect society nor universal model for Third World development.
But it does argue that Cuba demonstrates that even relatively small
countries can pursue a path of economic and social development that
avoids the problems endemic in the rest of Latin America. The
author also argues that the country's political stability is not
merely the result of authoritarianism, but that important elements
of democracy involve participation and help generate public
support. Cuba today continues to have huge problems, but the wider
significance of the Cuban Revolution rests on its practical
demonstration that it is possible to pursue radical and humane
development policies which are at complete variance with the
increasingly criticised nostrums of neoliberal economics being
foisted on the rest of the world.
