Cuba through history, culture, and politics

Spanning Cuban history from 1492 to the present, this collection brings together more than one hundred selections in varied forms, including songs, poetry, fiction, journalism, and political speeches. Its contributors present perspectives from across Cuban society, with material addressing the lives and work of people such as enslaved people, doctors, activists, and historians. The revised second edition adds more than twenty selections on changes and continuities in Cuba since Fidel Castro stepped down from power in 2006. The range of documents makes the book a broad introduction to the island’s history and public life, rather than a single continuous narrative.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students seeking a source-based introduction to Cuban history and society
  • Travelers interested in historical and cultural context about Cuba
  • Readers who prefer collections of varied documents and perspectives
