From different perspectives, ranging from architecture and music to politics and economics, the twenty-one essays presented here embrace the multifaceted interactions between Cuba and foreign imperial strategies during the 19th century, the troublesome formation of national political cultures in the first half of the 20th century, and the multiple global aspects of some of Cuba's choices from the Cold War to the first decade of the present century.Strumenti per la didattica e la ricerca ;91.Essays on Cuban history, politics and cultureHistory of the AmericasbicsscCubaHistory19th centuryCubaHistory20th centurycubaHistory of the Americas972711320306Lorini Alessandraauth48895Lorini Alessandra1949-Basosi Duccio1974-Pruessen Ronald W.Halpern RickGuderzo MaxItFiCItFiCUkMaJRUBOOK9910130630203321Cuba in the world, the world in Cuba3399703UNINA
