Upon publication in the late 1970s this book was the first major historical analysis of twentieth-century Cuba. Focusing on the way Cuba has been governed, and in particular on the way a changing elite has made claims to legitimate rule, it carefully examines each of Cuba's three main political eras: the first, from Independence in 1902 to the Presidency of Gerardo Machado in 1933; the second, under Batista, from 1934 until 1958; and finally, Castro's revolution, from 1959 to the present.

Changing Perspectives charts the pivotal period in Houston’s history when Jewish and Black leadership eventually came together to work for positive change.

A pesquisa que dá origem a este livro possui forte rigor no trabalho com as fontes documentais e grande consistência analítica na construção do tema central que a norteia, qual seja: traçar a trajetória partidária dos comunistas cubanos ao longo de quatro décadas (1920- 1960) com ênfase nas contradições e nas disputas políticas travadas pelo Partido Comunista de Cuba (PCC)/Partido Socialista Popular (PSP)1 e suas lideranças. Para isso, Ana Paula Cecon Calegari utiliza o enfoque teórico-metodológico das culturas políticas, em especial da comunista, para desvendar as ideologias, as constelações mitológicas, as representações e os valores que foram difundidos pelo partido e seus afiliados. A história dos comunistas, como bem mostra a autora, cruza com momentos decisivos da história de Cuba na primeira metade do século XX, tais como as ditaduras de Gerardo Machado e Fulgencio Batista, a Segunda República Cubana e, por fim, os primeiros anos de uma Revolução que abalou o cenário político da Ilha e da América Latina em contexto de Guerra Fria interamericana.
