We Are Cuba! by Helen Yaffe
How a Revolutionary People Have Survived in a Post-Soviet World
An exploration of how the island has endured the post-Soviet collapse, confronting scarcity and U.S. sanctions through state planning, grassroots innovation, and international solidarity. Drawing on interviews and field research, it highlights achievements in public health, biotechnology, disaster preparedness, and education, while assessing economic reforms, cooperatives, and the pressures of tourism and inequality. It challenges familiar narratives, arguing that social values, collective participation, and pragmatic adaptation have sustained resilience amid persistent crises.
