Book Synopsis
How has the US media constructed our understanding of Cuba?

Trade Review
'Punishment of Cuba by the Master of the Hemisphere for what the State Department called its 'successful defiance' is one or the more sordid episodes of the past 60 years, enhanced by media coverage that all too often adheres reflexively to the Party Line. Keith Bolender performs a valuable service in dissecting this dismal record of journalistic treachery' -- Noam Chomsky
'No aspect of the American obsessive compulsive fixation on Cuba stands in sharper relief than the role of the media in transacting the premise of empire. And no study of the media and Cuba surpasses the scope of this book' -- Louis A. Pérez, Jr, J. Carlyle Sitterson Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, author of 'Cuba: Between Reform and Revolution', 5th edition (Oxford University Press, 2014).
