This book analyzes the triumphs and failures of the Castro regime
in the area of race relations. It places the Cuban revolution in a
comparative and international framework and challenges arguments
that the regime eliminated racial inequality or that it was
profoundly racist. Through interviews, historical materials, and
survey research, it provides a balanced view. The book maintains
that Cuba has not been a racial democracy as some have argued.
However, it also argues that Cuba has done more than any other
society to eliminate racial inequality. The contemporary outlook of
the book demonstrates how much of Cuban racial ideology was
unchanged by the revolution. Thus, the current implementation of
market reforms and in particular tourism has exacerbated racial
inequalities. Finally, it holds that despite these shortcomings,
the regime remains popular among blacks because they perceive their
alternatives of the US and the Miami Exile community to be far
worse.
