De la contraportada
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.
