The recent retirement of Fidel Castro turned the world`s attention towards the island nation of Cuba & the question of what its future holds. Amid the talk & hypothesizing, it is worth taking a moment to consider how Cuba reached this point. Antoni Kapcia provides this with his incisive history of Cuba since 1959. Kapcia`s history takes the Cuban Revolution as its starting point, analysing the process of social revolution, its benefits & disadvantages, popular participation in the revolution & the development of its ideology. Kapcia probes Castro`s rapid rise to national leader, exploring his politics of defence & dissent as well as his contentious relationship with the USA from the beginning of his reign. The book also considers the evolution of the revolution`s international profile & Cuba`s foreign relations over the years, investigating issues & events such as the Bay of Pigs crisis, Cuban relations with Communist nations like Russia & China, & the flight of asylum-seeking Cubans to Florida over the decades. The collapse of the Soviet Union between 1989 & 1991 catalysed a severe economic & political crisis in Cuba, but Cuba was surprisingly resilient in the face of the catastrophe, Kapcia notes, & he examines the strategies adopted by Cuba over the last two decades in order to survive America`s longstanding trade embargo. A fascinating & much-needed examination of a country that has served as an important political symbol & diplomatic enigma for the twentieth century, ” Cuba in Revolution” is a critical primer for all those interested in Cuba`s past or concerned with its future. ...
