Here Anthony Kapcia offers a much-needed corrective to 'Fidel-centric' histories of the Cuban revolution, focusing instead on a wider cast of characters unknown to casual observers. Besides the more obvious contributions from Che Guevara and Rau?l Castro, each decade since has seen several key players involved in the processes of decision-making, often making a significant difference to the outcome of debates, decisions and definitions. As well as analysing their influence, Kapcia interprets their various roles within a wider process of nation-building, demonstrating that Cuba has undergone an unusual, if not unique, process of revolutionary corporatism. Essential reading for anyone interested in Cuba's history and its future. 606 $aRevolutionaries$zCuba$vBiography 606 $aPolitical leadership$zCuba$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitics & government$2bicssc 607 $aCuba$xHistory$yRevolution, 1959$vBiography 607 $aCuba$xPolitics and government$y1933-1959 607 $aCuba$xPolitics and government$y1959-1990 615 0$aRevolutionaries 615 0$aPolitical leadership$xHistory 615 7$aPolitics & government 676 $a321.0 700 $aKapcia$b Antoni$01598890 801 0$bIDEBK 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821198303321 996 $aLeadership in the Cuban Revolution$93921370 997 $aUNINA
