As a U.S.-born journalist who has called Havana home for almost a
quarter century, Mark Frank has observed in person the best days of
the revolution, the fall of the Soviet bloc, the great depression
of the 1990s, the stepping aside of Fidel Castro, and the reforms
now being devised by his brother. In Cuban Revelations, Frank
offers a first-hand account of daily life in Cuba at the turn of
the twenty-first century, the start of a new and dramatic epoch for
islanders and the Cuban diaspora. Examining the effects of U.S.
policy toward Cuba, Frank analyzes why Cuba has entered an
extraordinary, irreversible period of change and considers what the
island's future holds. The enormous social engineering project
taking place today under Raul's leadership is fraught with many
dangers, and Cuban Revelations follows the new leader's efforts to
overcome bureaucratic resistance and the fears of a populace that
stand in his way. In addition, Frank offers a colorful chronicle of
his travels across the island's many and varied provinces, sharing
candid interviews with people from all walks of life. He takes the
reader outside the capital to reveal how ordinary Cubans live and
what they are thinking and feeling as fifty-year-old social and
economic taboos are broken. He shares his honest and unbiased
observations on extraordinary positive developments in social
matters, like healthcare and education, as well as on the
inefficiencies in the Cuban economy. Ultimately, Cuban Revelations
is an objective account by a reporter who has lived with the Cubans
for many years as their old world falls apart and they set about
trying to build a new one.
