We Are Cuba!
The extraordinary account of the Cuban people’s struggle for survival in a post-Soviet world In the aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union, Cuba faced the start of a crisis that decimated its economy. Helen Yaffe examines the astonishing developments that took place during and beyond this period. Drawing on archival research and interviews with Cuban leaders, thinkers, and activists, this book tells for the first time the remarkable story of how Cuba survived while the rest of the Soviet bloc crumbled. Yaffe shows how Cuba has been gradually introducing select market reforms. While the government claims that these are necessary to sustain its socialist system, many others believe they herald a return to capitalism. Examining key domestic initiatives including the creation of one of the world’s leading biotechnological industries, its energy revolution, and medical internationalism alongside recent economic reforms, Yaffe shows why the revolution will continue post-Castro. This is a fresh, compelling account of Cuba’s socialist revolution and the challenges it faces today.

Paths for Cuba
The Cuban model of communism has been an inspiration—from both a positive and negative perspective—for social movements, political leaders, and cultural expressionists around the world. With changes in leadership, the pace of change has accelerated following decades of economic struggles. The death of Fidel Castro and the reduced role of Raúl Castro seem likely to create further changes, though what these changes look like is still unknown. For now, Cuba is opening in important ways. Cubans can establish businesses, travel abroad, access the internet, and make private purchases. Paths for Cuba examines Cuba’s internal reforms and external influences within a comparative framework. The collection includes an interdisciplinary group of scholars from around the world to explore reforms away from communism.
거꾸로 가는 쿠바는 행복하다
단순한 여행지가 아닌 가난하지만 행복한 ‘사람이 사는 곳’ 쿠바를 소개하고, 그 비결을 살펴본다. 분단 후 지금까지 ‘색깔론’에서 자유롭지 못한 우리에게 쿠바는 가난한 사회주의 국가 이상도 이하도 아니다. 비극적인 최후를 맞은 혁명가 체 게바라의 나라인 쿠바는, 그러나 남아메리카의 작은 국가임에도 불구하고 <부에나 비스타 소셜 클럽>이나 <식코>에서 볼 수 있듯, 작은 불편을 여유롭게 감내하는 사람 중심의 복지국가다. 1인당 국민소득이 1만 달러가 안 되지만 쿠바인들은 의료와 교육을 무상으로 제공받고 있고, 남녀평등 순위는 세계 29위를 기록하고 있다. 이뿐만이 아니다. 자타가 공인하는 의료 시스템을 필두로 국제 원조에도 앞장선다. 저자는 ‘복지의 전제조건이 성장’이라는 우리의 상식을 깨는 쿠바에 약 1년간 체류하면서, 저성장에도 불구하고 그들은 어떻게 복지국가의 길을 걷고 있는지를 이 책에 꼼꼼하게 담아냈다.
¡Somos Cuba! Cómo un pueblo revolucionario ha sobrevivido en un mundo postsoviético
La Revolución cubana ha existido, tras la caída de la URSS, por más tiempo que bajo su esfera de influencia. ¿Cómo se explica esto? Precisamente la autora de este libro comienza a contar esa historia: cómo el pueblo revolucionario de la isla caribeña ha sobrevivido en un mundo postsoviético. En su narración hilvana las raíces históricas de su desarrollo contemporáneo, examina cada área y muestra cómo las decisiones tomadas en períodos de crisis y aislamiento, desde finales de la década de los ochenta en adelante, han condicionado la Cuba que se adentra en el siglo XXI en los ámbitos de su estrategia de desarrollo, las ciencias médicas, la energía, la ecología y el medioambiente, la cultura y la educación.
