| Description: |
A provocative summary, analysis and evaluation of political, economic and cultural developments in Cuba since the revolution. In addition, the book also looks at the international relations of Cuba in the tumultous decade following the collapse of the Soviet Union. |
| Synopsis: |
Unlikely to gratify those with strong views on either side of the political divide, Max Azicri's study provides an intelligent, scholarly response to the current questions posed by the Cuban Revolution. Covering the turbulent period of the 1990s, the book examines such issues as the impact on Cuba of the Soviet Union's collapse, the country's social malaise under economic scarcity, the reorganization of its economy, changes in its political system, problems in its relations with the United States, and the renaissance of Cuban religious life in the aftermath of the pope's visit. Azicri offers an objectively researched study that addresses many of the assumptions made by partisan participants. Demonstrating how Cuba's ongoing reform process has allowed it to avoid the fate of other Soviet bloc regimes, he maintains that Havana has continually reinvented the nature of Cuban socialism. Drawing on original sources and scholarly studies from Cuba, the United States and elsewhere, he argues that a more restrained and limited socialism is suitable to today's Cuba and explains why such a system probably will prevail beyond Castro. |
