Edited by Mauri­cio A. Font and Car­los Riobó

 

Cuban stud­ies is a highly dynamic field shaped by the country’s dis­tinc­tive polit­i­cal and eco­nomic cir­cum­stances. The Hand­book of Con­tem­po­rary Cuba is an up-to-date and com­pre­hen­sive assess­ment offer­ing the lat­est research avail­able from a broad array of dis­ci­plines and per­spec­tives. The Hand­book offers con­tri­bu­tions from lead­ing schol­ars from the United States, Cuba, Europe, and other world regions. The Hand­book’s gen­eral intro­duc­tion and its sec­tion intro­duc­tions sur­vey the key lit­er­a­ture in the field in rela­tion to rapidly chang­ing events on the island and in global polit­i­cal and eco­nomic affairs. This vol­ume addresses timely devel­op­ment on civil soci­ety, includ­ing human rights. The Hand­book presents eco­nomic mod­els and fore­casts as well as analy­ses of the recent, piv­otal Sixth Con­gress of the Com­mu­nist Party of Cuba. For stu­dents, schol­ars, and experts in gov­ern­ment, the Hand­book of Con­tem­po­rary Cuba is vital to any col­lec­tion on Latin Amer­i­can stud­ies or global pol­i­tics.
