About this title

Synopsis

A frank discussion on the current situation in Cuba, this book presents an all-too-rare opportunity to hear the voice of one of the island's leading intellectuals. Blanco discusses the fall of the Soviet Union and its impact on Cuba, the possibility of a multi-party system being introduced in Cuba, the historical experiences of socialism, and provides a penetrating assessment of Fidel Castro's role and what steps are being taken to prepare for a generational transition of power.
This expanded edition features a new chapter by Juan Antonio Blanco, "Cuba: 'socialist museum' or social laboratory?"
