Description
The Revolution from Within Cuba, 1959-1980 by Michael J. Bustamante and Jennifer L. Lambe offers a fresh perspective on the island's post-1959 history. By focusing on the experiences of ordinary Cubans and those in positions of power, this volume sheds new light on the dynamics of sociopolitical inclusion and exclusion during the Revolution's first two decades. Drawing on previously unexamined archives, the contributors explore various aspects of Cuban society, including agrarian reform, the environment, dance, fashion, and more. Their essays enrich our understanding of the period from the early 1960s to the 1980 Mariel boatlift, providing new perspectives that are fundamentally driven by developments on the island. This collection highlights the political stakes attached to Cuban history after 1959, bringing together new historical research with comparative and methodological reflections.
