Louis A. Pérez, Jr.
Spanning the history of the island from pre-Columbian times to the present, this highly acclaimed survey examines Cuba's political and economic development within the context of its international relations and continuing struggle for self-determination. The dualism that emerged in Cuban ideology
- between liberal constructs of patria and radical formulations of nationality - is fully investigated as a source of both national tension and competing notions of liberty, equality, and justice.
Author Louis A. Pérez, Jr., integrates local and provincial developments with issues of
class, race, and gender to give students a full and fascinating account of Cuba's history, focusing on its struggle for nationality.
