Consequently, scant research exists that examines the major changes that took place across the decade and their role in determining the course of the Revolution. This book provides, for the first time, a comprehensive assessment of the 1970s which challenges prevailing interpretations. Drawing from multidisciplinary perspectives and exploring a range of areasincluding politics, international relations, culture, education, and healthcareits contributing authors demonstrate that the decade was a time of intense transformation which proved pivotal to the development of the Revolution. Indeed, many of the ideas, approaches, policies, and legislation developed and tested during the 1970s maintain a very visible legacy in contemporary Cub\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection offers a sound challenge to received historical wisdom about Cuba. Most fundamentally, it is a great example of what happens to historical truths when cultural, social, and political life are examined with one lens. This is as true for Cuba in the 1970s as it is anywhere, anytime. -- Karen Dubinsky, Queen’s University\u003cbr\u003eA wide ranging look at all aspects of Cuba in the 1970s, a crucial inflexion point between the freewheeling revolution 'por la libre' of the 1960s and the institutionalized system that followed. Anyone interested in understanding the origins of contemporary Cuba should not miss this thoughtful assessment of an important yet often neglected decade. -- William LeoGrande, American University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Acronyms \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Cuba’s Forgotten Decade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSection One: Politics and International Relations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Raúl’s Decade?
