CUBA BOOK ANNOUNCED
ABC-CLIO has announced the publication of another book in their GLOBAL STUDIES: LATIN AMERICA & THE CARIBBEAN Series, this time by good friend Ted Henken and about my favorite place Cuba. The press release for the book announces it as "a clear, provocative, and up-to-date overview of Cuban historical, political, economic, and sociocultural development from the pre-Columbian period to the present day with an emphasis on the Cuban Revolution, US-Cuban relations, and Cuba's current socio-economic reality." It is a comprehensive reference book of more than 600 pages presenting the many diverse characteristics of Cuba (music and dance, literature, cinema, revolutionary politics, Cuban exile politics, sugar/tobacco/rum, U.S. policy, history of the Spanish conquest and African slavery, and state socialist economics), as a complex but integrated whole - without trying to over-simplify or trivialize any of these characteristics.
