Description

Una concisa y legible perspectiva de Cuba, revisada a fondo y escrita por cubanos para cualquier persona interesada en comprender rápidamente la turbulenta historia del país insular.
 
Cuba: una breve historia abarca el período prehispánico, pasando por la lucha de Cuba por mantener la revolución en los años posteriores al colapso de la Unión Soviética; el período posterior a la decisión de Fidel Castro de abandonar el cargo; la apertura a Cuba en 2014 por parte de la Administración Obama; la jubilación de Raúl Castro y el reemplazo como presidente en 2018 de Miguel Díaz Canal; y finalmente la revocación del compromiso de Washington con Cuba bajo el presidente Trump. Este delgado volumen ofrece al lector una visión general de la historia y la política de la pequeña isla caribeña que sigue apareciendo en el centro de los acontecimientos mundiales.
 
Junto también a una presentación y un análisis de la intervención estadounidense en la isla, Cuba: una breve historia incluye asimismo notas al pie y una bibliografía para lecturas complementarias. Se trata de una introducción esencial a Cuba para estudiantes, visitantes y otras personas que busquen un ojo de águila para leer la turbulenta historia de la isla que ha cautivado y fascinado a sus vecinos del norte durante décadas.
