Contrary to the Cuban War Story's mythology of an insurrection single-handedly won by bearded guerrillas, Bayard de Volo shows that revolutions are not won and lost only by bullets and battlefield heroics. Focusing on women's multiple forms of participation in the insurrection, especially those that occurred off the battlefield, such as smuggling messages, hiding weapons, distributing propaganda, Bayard de Volo explores how gender - both masculinity and femininity - were deployed as tactics in the important though largely unexamined battle for the 'hearts and minds' of the Cuban people. Drawing on extensive, rarely-examined archives including interviews and oral histories, this author offers an entirely new interpretation of one of the Cold War's most significant events"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Revolution retold : what a gender lens tells us about the Cuban insurrection -- "How can men tire when women are tireless?" : women rebels before Moncada -- A movement is born : military defeat and political victory at Moncada -- Abeyance and resurgence : sustaining rebellion in prison and exile -- Gendered rebels : barriers and privileges -- War stories celebrated and silenced : tactical femininity, bombing, and sexual assault in the urban underground -- "Stop the murders of our children" : mothers and the battle for hearts and minds -- Masculinity and the Guerrilla war of ideas -- Women noncombatants : multiple paths and contributions -- Las Marianas : even the women in arms -- Past is prologue : victory and consolidation. 600 10 $a Castro, Fidel, $d 1926-2016. 600 17 $a Castro, Fidel, $d 1926-2016. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00052772 611 27 $a Revolution (Cuba : 1959) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354503 650 0 $a Women $x History $z Cuba $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Cuba $x History $y Revolution, 1959. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Latin America / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Women $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734136 651 7 $a Cuba. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205805 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213023112.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B646E934840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
