Description
Spanning the history of the island from pre-Columbian times to the present, this highly acclaimed survey examines Cuba's political and economic development within the context of its international relations and continuing struggle for self-determination. The dualism that emerged in Cubanideology - between liberal constructs of patria and radical formulations of nationality - is fully investigated as a source of both national tension and competing notions of liberty, equality, and justice. show more Perez integrates local and provincial developments with issues of class, race, and gender togive readers a full and fascinating account of Cuba's history, focusing on its struggle for nationality.This fourth edition features the latest research on Cuba. The political chronology has been revised and updated and the extensive bibliography has been both condensed, where necessary, and expanded to highlight the scholarship of the past decade. show lessTags
