The Origins of the Cuban Revolution Reconsidered

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the Cuban Revolution from 1959 to 1961, the author critiques prevailing interpretations of the revolution's origins and development. Farber argues that revolutionary leaders were not merely responding to external pressures from the U.S. or domestic issues, but were autonomous actors with their own ideological goals. He emphasizes that, despite facing significant constraints, these leaders pursued their visions independently, challenging the notion of a singular, coordinated master plan.
