Description:... Traces economic development, social dynamics, and political processes in Cuba from the end of Spanish colonial rule to the 1959 revolution. Focusing especially on class structures, gender roles, race relations, and political change, the author describes the social and economic circumstances in which most Cubans lived before 1959, and he explores the complex and compelling relationship between North American capital investment and the formation and deformation of Cuba's national institutions.
