From Hemingway's intoxicating Havana to Ry Cooder's Buena Vista Social Club, outsiders have persistently been fascinated by Cuba for its music (jazz to rumba), its rich literature, its art and dance (danzoÌn to mambo) and perhaps above all for its bold experiment of a socialist revolution in action. Antoni Kapcia shows how the thaw in relations between Cuba and the USA now makes a fresh appraisal of the country and its modern history essential. He authoritatively explores the 'essence' of the Cuban revolution, revealing it to be a maverick phenomenon tied not so much to socialism or Communism for their own sakes but instead to an idealistic vision of postcolonial nationalism. Reassessing the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, the author examines the central personalities: not just the famous trio of Che Guevara, Fidel and RauÌl Castro in shaping the ideas of the revolution but, still further back, the visionary ideology of JoseÌ MartiÌ. Kapcia's book reflects on the future of the revolution as auÌl nd his government began to cede power to a new generation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Chapter 1: The evolution of a radical nationalism -- Chapter 2: The project to construct a Cuban nation, 1959-61 -- Chapter 3: Debate I: 1962-5 -- The Emerging Revolutionary State and the Meaning of 'the Revolution' -- Chapter 4: The Maverick Revolution and 'Cuban Communism', 1965-70 -- Chapter 5: Debate II: 1970-5 -- Chapter 6: Institutionalization, consolidation and greater orthodoxy, 1975-85 -- Chapter 7: Debate III: 1985-9 -- Chapter 8: Crisis and the special period, and debates IV and V, 1989-2005 -- Debate IV: How to Save 'the Revolution'? -- Chapter 9: From Fidel to RauÌl: The last chapter? -- Chapter 10: Reflections on the Cuban matrix of power, governance and decision-making. 651 0 $a Cuba $x Politics and government $y 1959-1990. 651 0 $a Cuba $x Politics and government $y 1990- 651 0 $a Cuba $x History $y Revolution, 1959. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z Cuba $x History. 650 0 $a Socialism $z Cuba $x History. 651 0 $a Cuba $x Relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Relations $z Cuba. 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Nationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033832 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Socialism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123637 651 7 $a Cuba. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205805 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a Since 1959 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version : $a Kapcia, Antoni. $t Short history of revolutionary Cuba $d New York : Bloomsbury Academic, [2021] $z 9781786726414 $w (DLC) 2020037983 830 0 $a Short histories (Bloomsbury (Firm)) 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220601010624.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=261EA486E17011EC82262A731FECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
