Presents more than 700 articles written by 80 contributors on all
aspects of Cuba's fascinating history, its complex present
situation, and its land, culture, and relationship with the rest of
the world, especially the United States. This wonderfully
comprehensive two-volume encyclopedia features more than 700
entries, covering history; politics; current issues; the Cuban
Diaspora; geography and the environment; and culture, including
religion, the arts, literature, food, holidays, and sports and
games. The Encyclopedia of Cuba presents a balanced and objective
view of Cuba, with 80 distinguished scholars and researchers
reporting the broad sweep of all of Cuba's tempestuous history up
to the present. This important work also tells the stories of Cuban
exiles, both in the United States and in other countries. The
Encyclopedia includes more than 200 illustrations, including
photographs, maps, tables, and graphs, as well as historical and
legal documents. This encyclopedia is arranged in A-Z order within
12 topical chapters, with chapters on national symbols; geography,
urbanization, and the environment; the history of the colonial
period (pre-Columbian to 1901), the Republican period (1902 to
1958), and the revolutionary period (1959 to the present);
contemporary economy and society; literature and social sciences;
performing arts; plastic arts; popular culture and religion;
sports; and the Cuban Diaspora. Appendixes include historical
documents, U.S. laws relating to Cuba; lists of governors and
presidents; important works of Cuban literature; and important
Cuban films. The Encyclopedia will be useful to students from high
school through university, to scholars, and to the general public.
