Anthony DePalma Cubans Paperback Book

Moving and rich...overflowing with warmth and humanity The Times In this pioneering work of lifewriting and reportage, Anthony DePalma reconstructs the interwoven stories of five ordinary citizens and their families to bring the true story of the Cuban people to the world. From Castros heyday, through the devastation of postSoviet collapse, to the false dawn of recent years, we witness the hardships of life across six decades of socialist state control where even today the government decides what work you can do and where you live where food is rationed, and basic medicines are unavailable. The Cubans maps a country where the revolution that once inspired its people has since tested their faith with tragedy and disillusionment, revealing the daily acts of heroism and the endlessly adaptive resilience that are required of them to survive. Pageturning...revealing and unputdownable Claire Boobbyer, Cuba travel expert A deeply reported...account of Cubas bittersweet realities Financial Times | Anthony DePalma Cubans Paperback Book
