Rather than presenting Cuba as a socialist survivor, whose performance must be measured against the standards set by the 'international community', George Lambie judges Cuban socialism on the goals which the revolution sets for itself. He shows that despite Cuba's isolation in the 'New World Order', and the enormous pressures it has faced to 'conform', its faith in an alternative socialist project has continued and grown. Now that neoliberalism is in crisis, Cuba's promotion of socialist values is finding a renewed relevance. In this fascinating study Lambie argues that Cuba is again becoming a symbol, and practical example, of socialism in action. This book is essential reading for students of politics and Latin American studies. 607 $aCuba$xPolitics and government$y1990- 607 $aCuba$xHistory$yRevolution, 1959 608 $aElectronic books. 700 $aLambie$b George$0859381 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461408003321 996 $aThe Cuban Revolution in the 21st century$91917934 997 $aUNINA
