Manana in Cuba is a comprehensive analysis of contemporary Cuba with an incisive perspective of the Cuban frame of mind and its relevancy for Cuba's future. Part one of the book critically explores the mindset Cubans have developed living under a totalitarian system and introduces modern concepts of choice architecture and governance that can be employed Manana in Cuba to foster a democratic civil society. Part two turns to a discussion of the principles that should guide sociopolitical and economic transition policies in line with Cuban culture and history. Manana in Cuba offers a sophisticated analysis of the challenges and opportunities that will be present in post-Castro Cuba with an eye to intelligent, nuanced, and often "outside the box" solutions to aid business and government policymakers interested in Cuba's future. A unique aspect of this book is that it does not seek to unnaturally mend a decimated civil society, but rather, it offers policy approaches anchored on current Cuban ethos and society. This is a book about finding ways to facilitate the Cuban transition from totalitarianism and a centrally planned economy to liberal democracy and a free-market economic system. As the author argues, the alternative visions presented for Cuba's future matter because one of them will crystallize into the sociopolitical and economic narrative of the country for generations to come.

Es admirable que Jose cuya carrera y enfoque cultural son las ciencias politicas y el mundo de los negocios tenga la sensibilidad y candor que tienen sus hermosos versos donde nos entrega sentimientos de su corazon, pedazos de su vida, poco importa si fueron vividos o sonados pues fueron muy reales para el. Gracias Jose por ellos. Dra. Matilde Alvarez - Conferencista, escritora y poetisa En esta obra poetica, Pedazos y Vacios, Azel recoge las vivencias de quien se hizo hombre a golpe de sacrificio y nos dice: "Abrace un punado de recuerdos para cubrir la desnudez de un nino que se quedo sin ninez." En efecto, por un singular proceso de energia, en la intimidad del silencio, la meditacion nos desarrolla la habilidad del dialogo con nuestro propio ser. De esta vida interior esta hecha la poesia de Azel, donde vierte en sencillas estrofas los amores y desenganos de juventud, que como fugases estrellas de antiguas ilusiones, tienen voz de mujer, de perfume y de nostalgia.
