Born in the 1970s and 1980s, they recount how their lives changed over a tumultuous stretch of thirty-five years: first when Fidel Castro opened the country to tourism following the fall of the Soviet bloc; then when Ra伃 Castro allowed market forces to operate; and finally when President Trump's tightening of the US embargo combined with the COVID-19 pandemic caused economic collapse. With warmth and humanity, they describe learning to survive in an environment where a tiny minority has grown rich, the great majority has been left behind, and inequality has destroyed the very things that used to give meaning to Cubans' lives. In this book, everyday Cubans illuminate their own stories and the slow and agonizing decline of the Cuban Revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Dore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478020334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478020332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Elizabeth Dore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44321393377535,"sku":"9781478020332","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52957814-e810-45fe-911a-2f699e087c5a.jpg?v=1696330659","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-things-fall-apart-elizabeth-dore-9781478020332","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
