The Cuban Revolution in the 21st Century

While most books and articles on Cuba seek to analyse the islandundefineds socialist experiment from the perspective of internal dynamics or international relations, this book attempts to understand the revolutionary process as part of a counter-current against neoliberal globalisation.
Rather than presenting Cuba as a socialist survivor, whose performance must be measured against the standards set by the undefinedinternational communityundefined, George Lambie judges Cuban socialism on the goals which the revolution sets for itself. He shows that despite Cubaundefineds isolation in the undefinedNew World Orderundefined, and the enormous pressures it has faced to undefinedconformundefined, its faith in an alternative socialist project has continued and grown.
Now that neoliberalism is in crisis, Cubaundefineds promotion of socialist values is finding a renewed relevance. In this fascinating study Lambie argues that Cuba is again becoming a symbol, and practical example, of socialism in action. This book is essential reading for students of politics and Latin American studies.
