Description: Cuban Revolution : Origins, Course, and Legacy, Paperback by Ptrez-stable, Marifeli, ISBN 0195367081, ISBN-13 9780195367089, Brand New, Free shipping in the US 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 Castros triumphant entry into Santiago de Cuba in 1959, The Cuban Revolution highlights the
factors that made Cuba susceptible to revolution, including its one-crop (sugar) economy and . 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 Prez-Stable
also provides insight into the problems facing Castros Cuba. Arguing that the revolution actually ended in 1970, she blames its defeat on the regimes profitable yet doomed dependence on the Soviet Union. She further charges that Cubas leaders failed to diversify the economy, to sustain
development, or to create democratic institutions. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in Latin American history and politics, The Cuban Revolution, Third Edition, offers students fresh insights into contemporary Cuba.
