This timely and provocative study provides a reexamination of the Cuban revolution and places it firmly in a historical context. Beginning with the inauguration of the republic in 1902 and addressing Castro's triumphant entry into Santiago de Cuba in 1959, The Cuban Revolution highlights thefactors that made Cuba susceptible to revolution, including its one-crop (sugar) economy and U. S. interference in Cuban affairs. While identifying radical nationalism - the defense of national sovereignty and social justice - as a legitimate factor behind the revolution, author Marifeli Perez-Stablealso provides insight into the problems facing Castro's Cuba. Arguing that the revolution actually ended in 1970, she blames its defeat on the regime's profitable yet doomed dependence on the Soviet Union. She further charges that Cuba's leaders failed to diversify the economy, to sustain development, or to create democratic institutions. Ideal for advancedundergraduate and graduate courses in Latin American history and politics, The Cuban Revolution, Third Edition, offers students fresh insights into contemporary Cuba. | The Cuban Revolution by Marifeli Pérez-stable, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
