ISBN: 9780786414154 / Angielski / Miękka / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conflict in Cuba is not new. Since early in Cuba's colonial history a small elite has used centralized power to rule for what its members viewed as the common good, which often coincided with their own good. Political officials often took advantage of their situation and created monopolies which limited accountability, social mobility, fair play, and economic development - the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. This work traces this ethos, the efforts to change it, and its manifestations in present-day Cuba.

Human rights advocates have been less successful in other areas, however, including their opposition to amnesty laws for wartime human rights...

Several processes shaped and reshaped the Hispano Homeland. Initial colonization left the Hispanos relatively isolated from cultural changes in the rest of New Spain, and gradual intermarriage with Pueblo and nomad Indians gave them new cultural... Richard L.
