Cuba: What Everyone Needs to Know
Americans are obsessed with their southern socialist neighbor. But what do most Americans really know about Cuba itself?
This month Oxford University Press releases Cuba: What Everyone Needs to Know by Julia E. Sweig. Sweig, the Senior Fellow and Director for Latin America Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, presents an authoritative, yet accessible, portrait of the small island nation's unique place on the world stage over the past fifty years. The book looks backward toward Cuba's history since the Spanish American War before shifting to more recent times. Focusing equally on Cuba's role in world affairs and its own social and political transformations, Sweig divides the book chronologically into the pre-Fidel era, the period between the 1959 revolution and the fall of the Soviet Union, the post-Cold War era, and-finally-the looming post-Fidel era.
