Patriots and Traitors in Revolutionary Cuba: 1961-1981
ISBN: 9780822947738 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 508 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Authorities in postrevolutionary Cuba worked to establish a binary society in which citizens were either patriots or traitors. This all-or-nothing approach reflected in the familiar slogan “patria o muerte” (fatherland or death) has recently been challenged in protests that have adopted the theme song “patria y vida” (fatherland and life), a collaboration by exiles that, predictably, has been banned in Cuba itself. Lillian Guerra excavates the rise of a Soviet-advised Communist culture controlled by state institutions and the creation of a multidimensional system of state security...

Knight, Johns Hopkins University In this bold social history, Lillian Guerra explores the nature of popular-class and elite political consciousness in Puerto Rico from 1898 to 1940, the period when North American colonialism was taking shape.

The Myth of Jos� Mart�: Conflicting Nationalisms in Early Twentieth-Century Cuba
ISBN: 9780807855904 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Focusing on a period of history rocked by four armed movements, Lillian Guerra traces the origins of Cubans' struggles to determine the meaning of their identity and the character of the state, from Cuba's last war of independence in 1895 to the consolidation of U.S. neocolonial hegemony in 1921. Guerra argues that political violence and competing interpretations of the "social unity" proposed by Cuba's revolutionary patriot, Jose Marti, reveal conflicting visions of the nation--visions that differ in their ideological radicalism and in how they cast Cuba's relationship with the United...

ISBN: 9781469618869 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the tumultuous first decade of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro and other leaders saturated the media with altruistic images of themselves in a campaign to win the hearts of Cuba's six million citizens. In Visions of Power in Cuba, Lillian Guerra argues that these visual representations explained rapidly occurring events and encouraged radical change and mutual self-sacrifice.
Mass rallies and labor mobilizations of unprecedented scale produced tangible evidence of what Fidel Castro called "unanimous support" for a revolution whose "moral power" defied U.S. control. Yet...

The Idea of Cuba
ISBN: 9780826341396 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Everyone seems to be waiting. A young woman in a pink shirt leans against a pillar. Two men sit on a stoop and look in her direction. Like most Havana streets, this one, Calle Zapatos in Santos Surez, has seen better days. A glance reveals generations of faded paint, cracked plaster, and worn-down sidewalks. It's a curious kind of waiting--at once lethargic and restless--that I've become accustomed to in Cuba. Whatever is going to happen seems a long way off."--Alex HarrisThis remarkable journey into contemporary Cuba by photographer and writer Alex Harris is both a powerful and mysterious...
