From Publishers Weekly

In this scholarly overview, Perez-Stable analyzes the origins, development and the potential future of the Cuban revolution. Starting with a summary of Cuban politics before Castro's takeover, she investigates the formation of the Cuban Communist Party and its relation to the trade unions and the formidable Federation of Cuban Women, then takes a close look at the Rectification Campaign, launched in 1986, which sought to improve the failing Cuban economy. Perez-Stable also describes how the Cuban leadership is dealing with the gradual breakdown of socialism and the economic problems that have arisen since the end of the Cold War. Even in the face of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the loss of Cuba's lifeline to Moscow, the author insists that Washington is intent on undermining future prospects for political stability in the island nation. A study heavy with statistics, this authoritative work will be of interest primarily to specialists. Perez-Stable is an associate professor of sociology at the State University of New York.

Review

Praise for the previous edition:

"This is by far the best work I have read on contemporary Cuba. It is a competent study that strives for -- and achieves -- remarkable impartiality. The Cuban Revolution conveys the probing intelligence and profound thoughtfulness that produces permanence. It is a work no just for a single season but for a very long time." --Franklin W. Knight, The John Hopkins University

"What we have in The Cuban Revolution is the most complete, sustained intellectual effort to do with the Cuban revolution what dozens of authors have done for the Mexican -- to indicate the native roots of the rebellion and, most importantly, to demonstrate how these roots were of primordial significance in determining the evolution of the revolution over the course of nearly haft a century. This is no small achievement, and it establishes Pérez-Stable as a major voice in the study of Latin American politics and society." --Lars Schoultz, University of North Carolina
