Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book explores Sartre's engagement with the Cuban Revolution.
In early 1960 Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir accepted the
invitation to visit Cuba and to report on the revolution. They
arrived during the carnival in a land bursting with revolutionary
activity. They visited Che Guevara, head of the National Bank. They
toured the island with Fidel Castro. They met ministers,
journalists, students, writers, artists, dockers and agricultural
workers. Sartre spoke at the University of Havana. Sartre later
published his Cuba reports in France-Soir. Sartre endorsed the
Cuban Revolution. He made clear his political identification. He
opposed colonialism. He saw the US as colonial in Cuban affairs
from 1898. He supported Fidel Castro. He supported the agrarian
reform. He supported the revolution. His Cuba accounts have been
maligned, ignored and understudied. They have been denounced as
blind praise of Castro, 'unabashed propaganda.' They have been
criticised for 'cliches,' 'panegyric' and 'analytical
superficiality.' They have been called 'crazy' and
'incomprehensible.' Sartre was called naive. He was rebuked as a
fellow traveller. He was, in the words of Cuban author Guillermo
Cabrera Infante, duped by 'Chic Guevara.' This book explores these
accusations. Were Sartre's Cuba texts propaganda? Are they blind
praise? Was he naive? Had he been deceived by Castro? Had he
deceived his readers? Was he obligated to Castro or to the
Revolution? He later buried the reports, and abandoned a separate
Cuba book. His relationship with Castro later turned sour. What is
the impact of Cuba on Sartre and of Sartre on Cuba?
