About this product
Product Information
The extraordinary account of the Cuban people's struggle for survival in a post-Soviet world In the aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union, Cuba faced the start of a crisis that decimated its economy. Helen Yaffe examines the astonishing developments that took place during and beyond this period. Drawing on archival research and interviews with Cuban leaders, thinkers, and activists, this book tells for the first time the remarkable story of how Cuba survived while the rest of the Soviet bloc crumbled. Yaffe shows how Cuba has been gradually introducing select market reforms. While the government claims that these are necessary to sustain its socialist system, many others believe they herald a return to capitalism. Examining key domestic initiatives including the creation of one of the world's leading biotechnological industries, its energy revolution, and medical internationalism alongside recent economic reforms, Yaffe shows why the revolution will continue post-Castro. This is a fresh, compelling account of Cuba's socialist revolution and the challenges it faces today.

Reviews
"An insightful analysis of the political economy of Cuba's socialist development strategy and the struggle to balance the need for growth with the commitment to social justice that has been a hallmark of the revolution since 1959." --William LeoGrande, co-author of Back Channel to Cuba: The Hidden History of Negotiations between Washington and Havana "With her eye for all manner of detail and her ability to read Cuba well, Yaffe has given us a valuable analysis of the recent reforms in Cuba, placing them within their historical and ideological context... It is a welcome contribution to our understanding of it all."--Antoni Kapcia, author of Cuba: Island of Dreams "Yaffe's book on the last thirty years of the Cuban Revolution explains why, in the absence of the two Castro brothers, it has not just survived but pioneered new forms of socialism suitable for the 21 st century."--Richard Gott, author of Cuba: A New History "Yaffe has lived in Cuba and shares the experiences, concerns and hopes of the Cuban people ... Written with clarity and flair, this book will help you understand how and why Cuba will survive in a post-Trump world."-- Ricardo Alarcón, former President of the Cuban National Assembly and representative at the United Nations "While presenting Cuba's shortcomings and problems in the same way as she presents its impressive achievements, Yaffe has written the story of a people trying to build a more humane society."--Al Campbell, Emeritus Professor of Economics, University of Utah, "A timely and compelling exploration of the Cuban revolution . . . offering both a comprehensive understanding of the country's history and political-economic development as well as a compelling argument for its continued relevance in today's global landscape."--Corinna Mullen, Science and Society "An insightful analysis of the political economy of Cuba's socialist development strategy and the struggle to balance the need for growth with the commitment to social justice that has been a hallmark of the revolution since 1959."--William LeoGrande, coauthor of Back Channel to Cuba: The Hidden History of Negotiations between Washington and Havana "With her eye for all manner of detail and her ability to read Cuba well, Yaffe has given us a valuable analysis of the recent reforms in Cuba, placing them within their historical and ideological context. . . .
