Yet Guantánamo is more than a U.S. naval base and prison in Cuba, it is a town, and our military occupation there has required more than soldiers and sailors-it has required workers. This revealing history of the women and men who worked on the U.S. naval base in Guantánamo Bay tells the story of U.S.-Cuban relations from a new perspective, and at the same time, shows how neocolonialism, empire, and revolution transformed the lives of everyday people. Drawing from rich oral histories and little-explored Cuban archives, Jana K. Lipman analyzes how the Cold War and the Cuban revolution made the naval base a place devoid of law and accountability. The result is a narrative filled with danger, intrigue, and exploitation throughout the twentieth century. Opening a new window onto the history of U.S. imperialism in the Caribbean and labor history in the region, her book tells how events in Guantánamo and the base created an ominous precedent likely to inform the functioning of U.S. military bases around the world.American Crossroads;25Civil-military relationsCubaGuantanamo BayNavy-yards and naval stations, AmericanCubaHistoryGuantanamo Bay Naval Base (Cuba)EmployeesHistoryCaimanera (Cuba)HistoryGuantanamo (Cuba)History20th century american history.20th century cuban history.21st century american history.21st century cuban history.american military.caribbean.cold war.contract workers.cuba.cuban revolution.empire.fidel castro.guantanamo bay.guantanamo.kid chicle.labor history.labor relations.labor unions.labor.latin american history.military expansion.military occupation.neocolonialism.political.post 9 11.postmodernism.revolution.united states of america.us cuban relations.us naval base.us prison.war on terror.Civil-military relationsNavy-yards and naval stations, AmericanHistory.359.7097291/67Lipman Jana K1685000MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827181403321Guantanamo4056803UNINA
