Beschreibung:
Most conventional readings of the Cuban Revolution have seemed mesmerised by the personality and role of Fidel Castro, often missing a deeper political understanding of the Revolution's underlying structures, bases of popular loyalty and ethos of participation.In this ground-breaking work, Antoni Kapcia focuses instead on a wider cast of characters. Along with the more obvious, albeit often misunderstood, contributions from Che Guevara and Raúl Castro, Kapcia looks at the many others who, over the decades, have been involved in decision-making and have often made a significant difference. He interprets their various roles within a wider process of nation-building, demonstrating that Cuba has undergone an unusual, if not unique, process of change.Essential reading for anyone interested in Cuba's history and its future.
A history of the forgotten leaders of the Cuban Revolution.
Introduction: The problem with 'Fidel-centrism'1. The core leadership: the familiar triumvirate2. The formation of 'the vanguard': 1953-583. Taking stock and finding direction: 1959-624. The years of 'revolutionary' flux: 1963-755. The stable years: systems, institutions and bureaucrats: 1975-866. The return of fluidity: 1986 to the present7. Inclusion and exclusion: 'within' and 'against' the Revolution8. Inclusion and collectivity: a revolutionary corporatism?
