{"product_id":"the-cuban-revolution-marifeli-perez-stable-9780195367089","title":"The Cuban Revolution: Origins, Course, and Legacy","description":"This timely and provocative study provides a reexamination of the Cuban revolution and places it firmly in a historical context. Beginning with the inauguration of the republic in 1902 and addressing Castro's triumphant entry into Santiago de Cuba in 1959, \u003cem\u003eThe Cuban Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e highlights the factors that made Cuba susceptible to revolution, including its one-crop (sugar) economy and U.S. interference in Cuban affairs. While identifying radical nationalism--the defense of national sovereignty and social justice--as a legitimate factor behind the revolution, author Marifeli P駻ez-Stable also provides insight into the problems facing Castro's Cuba. Arguing that the revolution actually ended in 1970, she blames its defeat on the regime's profitable yet doomed dependence on the Soviet Union. She further charges that Cuba's leaders failed to diversify the economy, to sustain development, or to create democratic institutions. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in Latin American history and politics, \u003cem\u003eThe Cuban Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e, Third Edition, offers students fresh insights into contemporary Cuba. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to this Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Revised coverage of radical nationalism that demonstrates how the actions of Cubans themselves-the elites, the popular sectors, and the middle classes-made the revolution possible\u003cbr\u003e* A more central focus on the tensions between Fidel Castro's leadership, Cuban institutions, and economic policies\u003cbr\u003e* New, largely unpublished research in Chapters 2 and 3\u003cbr\u003e* A new concluding chapter, in which the author updates the transition from Fidel to Ra伃 Castro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marifeli Perez-Stable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195367081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195367089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Marifeli Perez-Stable","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946279600383,"sku":"9780195367089","price":69.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e8c20d90-721d-46be-938a-98e72b78d495.jpg?v=1681512335","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cuban-revolution-marifeli-perez-stable-9780195367089","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
