In Agrarian History of the Cuban Revolution, the Brazilian
historian Joana Salem Vasconcelos presents in clear language the
complicate challenge of overcoming Latin America's underdevelopment
condition, even though a revolutionary process. Based on diverse
historical sources, she demonstrates why the sugar plantation
economic structure in Cuba was not entirely changed by the 1959's
Revolution. The author narrates in detail the three dimensions of
Cuban agrarian transformation during the decisive 1960s - the land
tenure system, the crop regime, and the labour regime -, and its
social and political actors. She explains the paths and detours of
Cuban agrarian policies, contextualized in a labour-intensive
economy that needs desperately to increase productivity and, at the
same time, promised widely to emancipate workers from labour
exploitation. Cuban agrarian and economic contradictions are
well-synthetized with the concept of Peripheral Socialism.
