First of all, Fidel took over the country; there was no "revolution". Ruiz is also weak on his analysis of the Cuban middle class, which he does not seem to willing to understand was established [14-17], or if so, that it clamored for a "national chieftain" [17]while still being distrustful [16]. Incredibly, he describes Castro as "politically acute, and charistmatic"[17] for claiming (falsely) to speak for the ideals of Marti. How smart is that? Worse, Ruiz documents the fact that Castro was the SOLE remaining alternative after Batista (and Castro) killed off the competition, without reflection. How "charismatic" does Fidel have to be to take over after no one else is left? The whole "point" of Cuba's history is that it is under a pall, a not-revolution, a not-Marti vision. We await the historian who will ventilate the dynamic that allows a caudillo to "take over". How could Hitler seize everything from the most educated people on the planet? How could Fidel take everything from the most talented people on the planet? keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Professor Ruiz's analysis begins with Cuba's historic relationship with the United States, examining the effect of the sugar industry and U.S. foreign policy on Cuba's economy, social structure, and political development. He shows how the lack of cohesion in Cuban society affected the courses of events, and analyzes the sources of Cuban nationalism and anti-Americanism. Focusing on issues of economic development and social justice in Cuban history, he traces Cuba's revolutionary tradition and leaders, from the struggle for independence from Spain in the 1890's, through the revolution led by José Marti in 1933, up to Fidel Castro. He takes up the question why--and when--Castro turned to Communism, and discusses the ideology of the Revolution in the perspective of the history of socialist ideas in Cuba. By placing the events of 1959 in the context of Cuban history, Cuba: The Making of a Revolution meets the need for an authoritative analysis of the background of the Revolution, and sheds new light on its causes and outcome.
