A leading scholar sheds light on the experiences of ordinary Cubans
in the unseating of the dictator Fulgencio Batista In this
important and timely volume, one of today's foremost experts on
Cuban history and politics fills a significant gap in the
literature, illuminating how Cuba's electoral democracy underwent a
tumultuous transformation into a military dictatorship. Lillian
Guerra draws on her years of research in newly opened archives and
on personal interviews to shed light on the men and women of Cuba
who participated in mass mobilization and civic activism to
establish social movements in their quest for social and racial
justice and for more accountable leadership. Driven by a sense of
duty toward la patria (the fatherland) and their dedication to
heroism and martyrdom, these citizens built a powerful underground
revolutionary culture that shaped and witnessed the overthrow of
Batista in the late 1950s. Beautifully illustrated with archival
photographs, this volume is a stunning addition to Latin American
history and politics.
