Vegard Bye

Cuba, From Fidel to Raúl and Beyond

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyzes the economic reforms and political adjustments that took place in Cuba during the era of Raúl Castro's leadership and its immediate aftermath, the first year of his successor, Miguel Díaz-Canel. Faced with economic challenges and a political crisis of legitimacy now that the Castro brothers are no longer in power, the Cuban Revolution finds itself at another critical juncture, confronted with the loss of Latin American allies and a more hostile and implacable US administration.
