A History of the Cuban Revolution presents a concise socio-historical account of the Cuban Revolution of 1959, an event that continues to spark debate 50 years later.
Balances a comprehensive overview of the political and economic events of the revolution with a look at the revolution's social impact
Provides a lively, on-the-ground look at the lives of ordinary people
Features both U.S. and Cuban perspectives to provide a complete and well-rounded look at the revolution and its repercussions
Encourages students to understand history through the viewpoint of individuals living it Few historical events are as little understood -- or continue to stir such emotions -- as the revolution guided by Fidel Castro that overthrew the Batista government of Cuba in 1959. A History of the Cuban Revolution journeys beyond the fiery political rhetoric to present readers with a concise socio-historical accounting of the Cuban Revolution.
The text explores the revolution's effects on the Cuban public by bringing in many original voices -- both from the U.S. and from Cuba -- to address the everyday realities brought about by the implementation of post-revolutionary social and economic programs. Chomsky also engages with the myths and preconceptions about the revolution itself, providing a lively, anecdotal, and on-the-ground look at what the Cuban revolution has meant for ordinary people.
With brevity and scholarly sophistication, A History of the Cuban Revolution offers illuminating insights into an important event that has aroused passion and controversy for 50 years.
