The recent retirement of Fidel Castro turned the world’s attention toward the tiny but prominent island nation of Cuba and the question of what its future holds. Amid all of the talk and hypothesizing, it is worth taking a moment to consider how Cuba reached this point, which is what Antoni Kapcia provides with his incisive history of Cuba since 1959.
Cuba In Revolution takes the Cuban Revolution as its starting point, analyzing social change, its benefits and disadvantages, popular participation in the revolution, and the development of its ideology. Kapcia probes into Castro’s rapid rise to national leader, exploring his politics of defense and dissent as well as his contentious relationship with the United States from the beginning of his reign. The book also considers the evolution of the revolution’s international profile and Cuba’s foreign relations over the years, investigating issues and events such as the Bay of Pigs crisis, Cuban relations with Communist nations like Russia and China, and the flight of asylum-seeking Cubans to Florida over the decades. The collapse of the Soviet Union between 1989 and 1991 catalyzed a severe economic and political crisis in Cuba, but Cuba was surprisingly resilient in the face of the catastrophe, Kapcia notes, and he examines the strategies adopted by Cuba over the last two decades in order to survive America’s longstanding trade embargo.
A fascinating and much-needed examination of a country that has served as an important political symbol and diplomatic enigma for the twentieth century, Cuba In Revolution is a critical primer for all those interested in Cuba’s past—or concerned with its future.
非常好的一本历史偏通识类读物,回顾了古巴革命以来的历史,按照专题而非时间顺序梳理了革命的成就、外来压力、对外关系、内政、群众动员等等。作者更加强调古巴革命的本土特色,而非威权或社会主义的区分,强调阶层而非阶级分析。因而有时结论显得含糊,但是足以让人大体把握古巴的情况。

评分嘻嘻 这个条目是我建的。这本书是我读的古巴革命史里最客观的一本,古巴人和外国人的观点都提到了。外界对古巴的理解总是不全面的。最后一章尤其重要,古巴革命并不是卡斯特罗一个人的革命!
