Publisher Description

Una concisa y legible perspectiva de Cuba, revisada a fondo y escrita por cubanos para cualquier persona interesada en comprender rápidamente la turbulenta historia del país insular.



Cuba: una breve historia abarca el período prehispánico, pasando por la lucha de Cuba por mantener la revolución en los años posteriores al colapso de la Unión Soviética; el período posterior a la decisión de Fidel Castro de abandonar el cargo; la apertura a Cuba en 2014 por parte de la Administración Obama; la jubilación de Raúl Castro y el reemplazo como presidente en 2018 de Miguel Díaz Canal; y finalmente la revocación del compromiso de Washington con Cuba bajo el presidente Trump. Este delgado volumen ofrece al lector una visión general de la historia y la política de la pequeña isla caribeña que sigue apareciendo en el centro de los acontecimientos mundiales.

 

Junto también a una presentación y un análisis de la intervención estadounidense en la isla, Cuba: una breve historia incluye asimismo notas al pie y una bibliografía para lecturas complementarias. Se trata de una introducción esencial a Cuba para estudiantes, visitantes y otras personas que busquen un ojo de águila para leer la turbulenta historia de la isla que ha cautivado y fascinado a sus vecinos del norte durante décadas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION



A concise, readable and thoroughly revised overview of Cuba written by Cubans for anyone interested in quickly understanding the island country’s turbulent history.



Cuba: A Brief History covers the pre-Hispanic period, through Cuba’s struggle to maintain the revolution in the years following the collapse of the Soviet Union, to the period after Fidel Castro’s decision to step down from office, to the 2014 opening to Cuba by the Obama Administration, the retirement of Raul Castro and his replacement as president in 2018 by Miguel Diaz Canal, and finally to the reversal of Washington’s engagement with Cuba under President Trump. This slim volume provides the reader with an overview of the history and politics of the tiny Caribbean island that continues to appear at the center of world events.

Featuring a presentation and analysis of US intervention on the island, Cuba: A Brief History also includes footnotes and a bibliography for further reading. This is an essential introduction to Cuba for students, visitors, and others looking for a bird’s eye view of the turbulent history of the island that has captivated and enthralled its northern neighbors for decades.
