Full Description
Since the rectification period of 1985-1986, Cuban scholars have been engaged in ongoing analysis of the political and social agendas of contemporary Cuba. In this volume, leading Cuban scholars explore several controversial themes, including the relation between democracy and socialism, strategies for economic development, and patterns of social change. Taking into account the difficulties Cuba faces as it confronts changing international trade relations and diminishing aid following the breakup of the Soviet Union, contributors examine specific economic problems, such as the large external debt and shortages of material goods. They also address various aspects of domestic life in Cuba, including the youth movement and gender roles. Finally, they offer retrospective views of the Cuban Revolution-its origins; its accomplishments in the areas of health care, education, and social services; and obstacles to the realization of its ideological objectives.
