This is the second of two volumes to bear witness to the Cuban
experience. Together with its predecessor, "Cuba: Twenty-Five Years
of Revolution," it offers a positive account. Yet, it is sensitive
to the dilemmas and flawed strategies in Cuba's thirty-year process
of transformation. It warns that no preconceived notion of state or
of development will help grasp the multifaceted nature of this
nation, which reflects aspects of both developed and underdeveloped
nations. Seventeen chapters, five of which are from Cuban
contributors, thoroughly investigate recent political, economic,
and social changes as well as the successes and failures of
long-term development policies. Heavy attention is paid to the
rectification process launched by Castro in 1986.
This volume portrays a Cuba facing the 1990s with a burst of
increased vigor in its efforts to secure continued far-reaching
transformation. Seventeen chapters describe major changes in the
economic realm caught up in the rectification campaign; a slow
process of liberalization in the political sphere; and a Cuba that,
in social terms, is far better off than any other Latin American
country.
