Le livre explore les décennies de répression subies par les Cubains, d'abord sous la domination espagnole, puis américaine. Il souligne la résistance nationale et la révolution qui a placé Cuba au cœur de la guerre froide, tout en abordant la lutte pour la justice sociale et les alternatives possibles après cette période.
Decades of political and economic suppression in Cuba highlight the inhumane governance by Spanish colonizers and the subsequent US oversight, which exacerbated internal divisions. The text explores the lead-up to the 1959 revolution, positioning Cuba in the center of the East/West conflict, and examines the alliance between the Kremlin and the Cuban Communist Party. It also details Washington's responses, including coup attempts and sanctions, while emphasizing Cuba's ongoing struggle for social justice in the post-Cold War period and proposing alternatives for progress.
