The Cuban Revolution presents a mixed record of achievements and
failures. In this comprehensive study of Cuban politics, Rhoda
Rabkin examines the institutions, policies, and performance of
revolutionary Cuba. The study, part of the Politics in Latin
America Hoover Institution Series, concisely and thoroughly
addresses the major issues debated by scholars concerning the Cuban
revolutionary experience. These include: the development impasse of
pre-revolutionary Cuba, rates of revolutionary socio-economic
progress, elite factionalism, the role of the military, succession
politics, respect for human rights, and the relevance of the Cuban
model to other developing countries. Rabkin analyzes with
particular care Cuban efforts to reconcile revolutionary leadership
(including the special role of Fidel Castro) with popular
participation in institutions of government and mass organizations.
The study also analyzes in depth the likely implications of the
Gorbachev era for Cuban socialism. The meticulous inclusion of
source references to the scholarly literature allows readers to
pursue controversial issues in greater depth. In a field too often
dominated by polemics, Rabkin provides her readers with an honest,
objective synthesis of contemporary scholarship on the Cuban
Revolution. Chapters cover: background to the revolution; communism
Fidel-style (1959-1970); institutions and policy (1970-1986); the
socialist economic system; Cuban foreign policy; the rectification
period (1986 to the present); and a concluding assessment of the
Cuban revolutionary socialist development model.
