Cuba has undergone dramatic changes since the collapse of European
communism. The loss of economic aid and preferential trade with the
Soviet Union and other Eastern bloc countries forced the Cuban
government to search out new ways of organizing the domestic
economy and new commercial relations in an international system
dominated by market economies. The resulting economic reforms have
reverberated through Cuban society and politics, recreating social
inequalities unknown since the 1950s and confronting the political
system with unprecedented new challenges. The resulting ferment is
increasingly evident in Cuban cultural expression, and the
responses to adversity and scarcity have reshaped Cuban social
relations. This completely revised and updated edition focuses on
Cuba since Raul Castro took over the country's leadership in 2006.
A Contemporary Cuba Reader brings together the best recent
scholarship and writing on Cuban politics, economics, foreign
relations, society, and culture in present-day Cuba. Ideally suited
for students and general readers seeking to understand this
still-contentious and controversial island, the book includes a
substantive introduction setting the historical context, as well as
part introductions and a chronology. Supplementary resources for
students and professors are available here. Contributions by:
