The Origins Of The Cuban Revolution Reconsidered

Attribution
Samuel Farber
Publication Details
Book, University of North Carolina Press, 2006
Links
- Table of contents
Description
Analyzing the crucial period of the Cuban Revolution from 1959 to 1961, Samuel Farber challenges dominant scholarly and popular views of the revolution’s sources, shape, and historical trajectory. Exploring how historical conflicts between U.S. and Cuban interests colored the reactions of both nations’ leaders after the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista, Farber argues that the structure of Cuba’s economy and politics in the first half of the twentieth century made the island ripe for radical social and economic change, and the ascendant Soviet Union was on hand to provide early assistance.

Last Dance In Havana : The Final Days Of Fidel And The Start Of The New Cuban Revolution / Eugene Robinson

Attribution
Publication Details
Book, Free Press, 2004
Links
- PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION
Description
In power for forty-four years and counting, Fidel Castro has done everything possible to define Cuba to the world and to itself — yet not even he has been able to control the thoughts and dreams of his people. Just as the West learned more about China after the Cultural Revolution by watching From Mao to Mozart, so will readers discover the real Cuba — the living, breathing, dying, yet striving Cuba. Despite Castro’s attempts to shut down nightclubs, obstruct artists, and subsidize only what he wants, the musicians and dancers of Cuba cannot stop, much less behave.
