Beginning with the inauguration of the republic in 1902 and addressing Castros triumphant entry into Santiago de Cuba in 1959  The Cuban Revolution highlights the factors that made Cuba susceptible to revolution  including its one-crop (sugar) economy and U.S. interference in Cuban affairs. While identifying radical nationalism--the defense of national sovereignty and social justice--as a legitimate factor behind the revolution  author Marifeli Prez-Stable also provides insight into the problems facing Castros Cuba. Arguing that the revolution actually ended in 1970  she blames its defeat on the regimes profitable yet doomed dependence on the Soviet Union. She further charges that Cubas leaders failed to diversify the economy  to sustain development  or to create democratic institutions. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in Latin American history and politics  The Cuban Revolution  Third Edition  offers students fresh insights into contemporary Cuba.  New to this Edition   Revised coverage of radical nationalism that demonstrates how the actions of Cubans themselves-the elites  the popular sectors  and the middle classes-made the revolution possible  A more central focus on the tensions between Fidel Castros leadership  Cuban institutions  and economic policies  New  largely unpublished research in Chapters 2 and 3  A new concluding chapter  in which the author updates the transition from Fidel to Ral Castro\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651952599093,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195367081","price":47.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195367089.jpg?v=1781847220","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-cuban-revolution-origins-course-and-legacy-9780195367089","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
