Description
A powerful account of the decline of the Cuban Revolution is presented through the lives of five ordinary Cuban citizens. Elizabeth Dore's oral history project gathers their stories to illuminate the slow and agonizing decline of the revolution over the past four decades. Born in the 1970s and 80s, these individuals recount how their lives changed as Cuba transitioned from a socialist to a more market-oriented economy. They describe learning to survive in an environment where inequality has destroyed the things that once gave meaning to Cubans' lives. With warmth and humanity, they share their experiences of adapting to a country where a tiny minority has grown rich by local standards, while the majority has been left behind. This book offers a unique perspective on Cuba's recent history, shedding light on the complexities of the revolution's decline and its impact on ordinary citizens.
