Transformation and Struggle Cuba Faces the 1990s

This is the second of two volumes to bear witness to the Cuban experience. With its predecessor Cuba: Twenty-Five Years of Revolution, it offers a positive account nonetheless sensitive to Cuba's dilemmas and flawed strategies. No preconceived notions of state or development will help grasp the multifaceted nature of this nation. Seventeen essays investigate the recent political, economic, and social changes; the successes and failures of long-term development policies; and the manifestations of the 1986 rectification program.
