El Tratado anglo-cubano de 1905
A través del Tratado anglo-cubano de 1905, expresión de "la pugna sorda entre los Estados Unidos e Inglaterra por los mercados latinoamericanos", se analizan las contradicciones entre ambas potencias en relación con Cuba, y las posiciones de su gobierno en el diseño de la política exterior, en los albores de la República recién estrenada bajo la influencia de la Enmienda Platt, el Tratado de Reciprocidad Comercial y la política del Gran Garrote. Mediante estos hechos, el autor nos muestra la sumisión política y económica en que se encontraba el país en aquella época.
Cuba-República Dominicana: democracias, dictaduras e imperialismo en el Caribe (1944-1948)
Las diferentes naciones del mundo no coexisten aisladas unas de otras. Sus vínculos pueden ser comerciales, económicos, históricos e incluso meramente geográficos. Cuba y República Dominicana no son una excepción, máxime cuando ambas se circunscriben al espacio latinoamericano y, más específicamente, al caribeño. En estos pueblos subyugados por políticos oportunistas el espíritu de libertad y solidaridad no deja de resurgir. Es así que este texto pone de relieve la ayuda entre ambas naciones frente a la hostilidad del imperialismo y los regímenes de fuerza implantados a lo largo de la historia en los países latinoamericanos, en medio de un contexto difícil: fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, con las carencias que implicó; con una política de Guerra Fría por los Estados Unidos que cercenaba toda posibilidad de recuperación; y, desde dentro, ambos pueblos oprimidos por el propio imperio del Norte.

Our Place in the Sun
Penned during the transition of power from Fidel Castro to Raúl Castro, Our Place in the Sun explores the Canadian-Cuban relationship from 1959 to the present day. The essays in this volume reflect upon the past but also explore the internal issues and external forces that will continue to influence the Canada-Cuba association in the years to come. Many of this volume's contributors draw upon newly declassified sources and original interviews, providing unique insight into the historical, economic, and political realities affecting the Canada-Cuba connection. Featuring twelve original essays by a variety of scholars as well as a short memoir by former Canadian Ambassador to Cuba, Mark Entwistle, this important interdisciplinary collection calls into question past understandings of the Canadian-Cuban relationship. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Canadian and Cuban history of the last half-century, and the dynamics of North American politics more broadly.
