In Looking Forward, Marifeli Perez-Stable and her colleagues imagine Cuba's future after the "poof moment"―Jorge I. Domínguez's vivid phrase―when the current regime will no longer exist. Written in an accessible style that will appeal to all interested readers, this volume does not try to predict how and when the Castro regime will end, but instead considers the possible consequences of change. Each chapter―prepared by an expert in the field―takes up a basic issue: politics, the military, the legal system, civil society, gender, race, economic transition strategies, social policy and social welfare, corruption, the diaspora, memory, ideology and culture, and U.S.-Cuba relations.
The author of each chapter considers three questions: How have other new democracies handled the basic issue in question? How might Cuba's unique conditions affect this area in transition? What are the likely outcomes and alternatives for a Cuba in transition? Designed with students, policy-makers, and journalists in mind, this lively and accessible volume is an essential resource.

Paperback. Condition: New. 1st ed. 8vo, wrps, 360 p., bibl., index. "This is the most important book about Cuba to appear in a generation. A group of 'not-your-usual-émigrés' and other experts who have taught us most of what we already know about contemporary Cuba have performed an extraordinary service to the policy and academic communities-and their patria -in imagining Cuba's future after Fidel. Building on their diverse expertise in politics, economic reform, civil-military relations, social policy, race, gender, and cultural relations, and drawing from models around the world of regime transitions gone wrong and right, their compelling essays project Cuba's recent past onto its immediate future and lay a blueprint for a free, democratic, and just society. There is quite simply no book like it." -Frances Hagopian, Michael Grace II Associate Professor of Latin American Studies, Kellogg Institute for International Studies, University of Notre Dame.
