Synopsis
Susan Eckstein describes how and explains why Cuban Communism has been misperceived and misunderstood abroad. Concealed behind Marxist-Leninist rhetoric and Castro's autocratic single-party rule has been a government promoting a cradle-to-grave welfare state, tolerating market reforms, foreign investment, Western trade, and hard currency "internationalism." Not only has Castro's Cuba been less ideologically driven by Marxist-Leninist orthodoxy than has heretofore been believed, it also has been less omnipotent.

From the Back Cover
"A rich analysis of the Cuban revolution. Susan Eckstein's book is more balanced, integrated, and penetrating than many previous texts and has the potential of being the single best overall interpretation of the Cuban revolution. Eckstein delivers a comprehensive and insightful interpretation of Castro's Cuba."--Andrew Zimbalist, Smith College

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Second Printing. 286 Pages Indexed. No marks or stamps on this tight biright book. Contents in Four Chapters: The Limits and Possibilities of Socialism, The Push for Communism and the Retreat to Socialism, The Late 1980s Campaign to Rectify Errors and Negative Tendencies - socialist Renegade or Retrograde in the Era of Perestroika, and From Communist Solidarity to Communist Solitary - The 1990s Special Period in Peacetime. The image of the hero, Castro, and his rescued island had been replaced by that of a tyrant and a subugated kingdom. Neither image, as the author shows, reflects the complex facts. In any history of present-day Cuba, Castro must emerge as the protagonist, and this book provides a wealth of information that allows the reader to make some sense of the man. Seller Inventory # 9724
