About This Item
Boulder, Colorado: Westview Press, November 1984. Trade Paperback. First Edition / full number line. Very Good. Binding square and tight. Interior unmarked other than original bookseller's price mark. Mild shelfwear. Mild foxing to edges. Not from a library. 193 pages.
The Communist party, the armed forces, and key elites and institutions of Cuba are analyzed in light of deepening economic and political difficulties. Changes in leadership and Castro's dominant role are also discussed. The author argues that an incipient process of economic reform is at odds with Marxist ideology and that the failure to liberalize in order to retain political control suggests that the regime is seriously concerned about the emergence of political dissidence and other forms of opposition. He also assesses the prospects for peaceful or for violent political change and looks at how the legacy of socialism and the Revolution will shape Cuba's future.
