Fidel Castro sent Cuban military troops to Angola in support of the Movimento Popular de Liberta  o de Angola (MPLA), leading to its ascension to power despite facing threats both international and domestic. What is less known, and what \u003ci\u003eCubans in Angola\u003c\/i\u003e brings to light, is the significant role Cubans played in the transformation of civil society in Angola during these years. Offering not just military support but also political, medical, administrative, and technical expertise as well as educational assistance, the Cuban presence in Angola is a unique example of transatlantic cooperation between two formerly colonized nations in the global South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Hatzky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299301044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299301040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2015","brand":"Christine Hatzky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119536173311,"sku":"9780299301040","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ee21cd3-78ab-4a87-962c-c7b22cedd9e5.jpg?v=1687409833","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cubans-in-angola-christine-hatzky-9780299301040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
