{"product_id":"patriots-and-traitors-in-revolutionary-lillian-guerra-9780822947738","title":"Patriots and Traitors in Revolutionary Cuba, 1961-1981","description":"Authorities in postrevolutionary Cuba worked to establish a binary society in which citizens were either patriots or traitors. This all-or-nothing approach reflected in the familiar slogan \"patria o muerte\" (fatherland or death) has recently been challenged in protests that have adopted the theme song \"patria y vida\" (fatherland and life), a collaboration by exiles that, predictably, has been banned in Cuba itself. Lillian Guerra excavates the rise of a Soviet-advised Communist culture controlled by state institutions and the creation of a multidimensional system of state security whose functions embedded themselves into daily activities and individual consciousness and reinforced these binaries. But despite public performance of patriotism, the life experience of many Cubans was somewhere in between. Guerra explores these in-between spaces and looks at Cuban citizens' complicity with authoritarianism, leaders' exploitation of an earnest anti-imperialist nationalism, and the duality of an existence that contains elements of both support and betrayal of a nation and of an ideology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lillian Guerra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822947730\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822947738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.33w x 1.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2023","brand":"Lillian Guerra","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45896353218815,"sku":"9780822947738","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_caf33bd2-2bf8-4f19-be72-c004dce0bf46.jpg?v=1721371177","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/patriots-and-traitors-in-revolutionary-lillian-guerra-9780822947738","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
