By comparing the current reform process under President Raul Castro
to Cuba's opening to market capitalism during the 1990s Special
Period crisis, Everyday Adjustments in Havana: Economic Reforms,
Mobility, and Emerging Inequalities highlights the differences and
continuities between adjustments in both periods and their social
impacts. It explores the impacts of specific policies such as the
expansion of self-employment and the recreation of a private
housing market, examining how changes in domestic and international
policies after 2011 have modified the post-Special Period status
quo and contributed to the formation of new social groups that did
not previously exist in Cuba's Socialist society.
