Revolution from Within

Michael J. Bustamante and Jennifer L. Lambe (Editors)

Description

What does the Cuban Revolution look like "from within?" This volume proposes that scholars and observers of Cuba have too long looked elsewhere-from the United States to the Soviet Union-to write the island's post-1959 history. Drawing on previously unexamined archives, the contributors explore the dynamics of sociopolitical inclusion and exclusion during the Revolution's first two decades. They foreground the experiences of Cubans of all walks of life, from ordinary citizens and bureaucrats to artists and political leaders, in their interactions with and contributions to the emerging revolutionary state. In essays on agrarian reform, the environment, dance, fashion, and more, contributors enrich our understanding of the period beginning with the utopic mobilizations of the early 1960s and ending with the 1980 Mariel boatlift. In so doing, they offer new perspectives on the Revolution that are fundamentally driven by developments on the island. Bringing together new historical research with comparative and methodological reflections on the challenges of writing about the Revolution, The Revolution from Within highlights the political stakes attached to Cuban history after 1959.Contributors. Michael J. Bustamante, Maria A. Cabrera Arus, Maria del Pilar Diaz Castanon, Ada Ferrer, Alejandro de la Fuente, Reinaldo Funes Monzote, Lillian Guerra, Jennifer L. Lambe, Jorge Macle Cruz, Christabelle Peters, Rafael Rojas, Elizabeth Schwall, Abel Sierra Madero

We trust that the fina product îs suicîent testament to theîr hard work. Thîs book grew out o a conerence, New Hîstorîes o the Cuban Revou- tîon, hed at Yae Unîversîty în 2014.

Brown Unîversîty and New York Unîversîty aso contrîbuted generous financîa support. We woud especîay îke to thank Gîbert Joseph and Stuart Schwartz, who ofered advîce and enthusîastîc coaboratîon, aong wîth the partîcîpants în that event, whose contrîbutîons have decîsîvey shaped our understandîng o the Cuban Revou- tîon and heped revîtaîze the study o îts past: Manue Barcîa Paz, Enrîque Bedarraín, María A.

We hope that they are as excîted as we are to see thîs book în prînt.
