This book analyzes the triumphs and failures of the Castro regime in the area of race relations and challenges arguments that the regime eliminated racial inequality. Through interviews, historical materials, and survey research, it provides a balanced view. The contemporary outlook of the book demonstrates how much of Cuban racial ideology was unchanged by the revolution. Finally, the book holds that despite these shortcomings, the regime remains popular among blacks because they perceive their alternatives of the US and the Miami Exile community to be far worse.
