Cuba is a symbol of hope for the Third World. The Cuban Revolution took power from a national elite subordinate to foreign capital, and placed it in the hands of the people; and it subsequently developed alternative structures of popular democracy that have functioned to keep delegates of the people in power.  While Cuba has persisted, the peoples of the Third World, knocked down by the neoliberal project, have found social movement and political life, a renewal that is especially evident in Latin America and the Non-Aligned Movement. At the same time, the capitalist world-economy increasingly reveals its unsustainability, and the global elite demonstrate its incapacity to respond to a multifaceted and sustained global crisis.  These dynamics establish conditions for popular democratic socialist revolutions in the North. 410 0$aCritical Political Theory and Radical Practice,$x2731-6599 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aLatin America$xHistory 606 $aLatin America$xEconomic conditions 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aLatin American History 606 $aLatin American/Caribbean Economics 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aLatin America$xHistory. 615 0$aLatin America$xEconomic conditions. 615 14$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aLatin American History. 615 24$aLatin American/Caribbean Economics. 676 $a972.91064 700 $aMcKelvey$b Charles$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0892033 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300510503321 996 $aThe Evolution and Significance of the Cuban Revolution$91992197 997 $aUNINA
