With decades of experience studying and reporting on the island, Philip Brenner and Peter Eisner provide an incisive overview for all readers seeking to go beyond stereotypes in their exploration of Cuba's politics, economy, and culture. As Cuba and the United States open their doors to each other, Cuba Libre gives travelers, policy makers, businesspeople, students, and those with an interest in world affairs an opportunity to understand Cuba from a Cuban perspective; to appreciate how Cubans' quest for independence and sovereignty animates their spirit and shapes their worldview and even their identity. In a world ever more closely linked, Cuba Libre provides a compelling model for US citizens and policy makers to empathize with viewpoints far from their own experiences."$$c--Amazon. 000867398 650_0 $$aNational liberation movements$$zCuba$$xHistory. 000867398 651_0 $$aCuba$$xHistory$$y1895- 000867398 651_0 $$aCuba$$xHistory$$xAutonomy and independence movements. 000867398 7001_ $$aEisner, Peter,$$eauthor. 000867398 85200 $$bgen$$hF1776$$i.B73$$i2018 000867398 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:867398$$pGLOBAL_SET 000867398 980__ $$aBIB 000867398 980__ $$aBOOK
