Understanding Cuba as a Nation: From European Settlement to Global Revolutionary Mission: Routledge Studies in Latin American Politics
Autor Rafael E. Tarragóen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 aug 2018
Rafael E. Tarragó pays due attention to the first four hundred years after the arrival of the Spaniards in the island, showing that a Cuban nation had developed from the European and African settlers with the indigenous population before the creation of the Cuban Republic in 1902. He describes the accomplishments and failures of that Republic that made possible the rise of the Cuban Revolutionary Government. He concludes with a look at accomplishments and the shortcomings of that self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist government; its troubled relation with the United States; and the global revolutionary mission that it has embraced since its inception.
Understanding Cuba as a Nation is a detailed yet accessibly written exploration of the history of Cuba since the Spanish conquest of 1511 that illustrates the development of the Cuban nation, and summarizes the accomplishments of Cubans since the 16th century in the arts, literature, and science.

Recenzii
'A synthetic history of cuba full of suggestions that invite the reader to learn more.' -Luis Miguel García Mora, Fundación Mapfre
'Cuba continues to engage the imagination of North American and European readers as few other Latin American countries. From the native Taínos to Raúl Castro, Understanding Cuba as a Nation covers historical developments in the Island with unusual attention to cultural achievements, economics, and politics. Tarragó offers a narrative that is both accessible to lay readers and rich in historical detail, debunking in the process many ideological preconceptions and historical myths.' - Aníbal Pérez-Liñán, University of Pittsburgh. Editor, Latin American Research Review
