Pocas naciones insulares han conmovido tanto como Cuba. Desde la embriagadora Habana de Hemingway hasta el Buena Vista Social Club de Ry Cooder, Cuba ha fascinado persistentemente a sus visitantes por su música (del jazz a la rumba), su rica literatura, su arte y danza y quizás, sobre todo, por su audaz experimento de una revolución socialista.Antoni Kapcia muestra cómo el deshielo en las relaciones entre Cuba y EE. UU. exige ahora una nueva valoración del país y de su historia moderna. Explora con autoridad la ‘esencia’ de la revolución cubana, mostrándola como un fenómeno inconformista ligado no tanto al socialismo o al comunismo sino a una visión idealista del nacionalismo poscolonial. Reevaluando la Crisis de los Misiles Cubanos de 1962, el autor examina las personalidades centrales: no sólo el famoso trío del Che Guevara, Fidel y Raúl Castro y su papel en la formación de las ideas de la revolución sino, aún más atrás, la ideología visionaria de José Martí. El libro de Kapcia reflexiona sobre el futuro de la revolución cuando su gobierno comenzó a ceder el poder a una nueva generación. 10

In many respects, it shares the characteristics of other colonial or post-colonial cities of the Caribbean and Latin America. But at the same time, Havana created its ...
