CUBAN TRANSITIONS

Cuban Transitions: Cultural Transformations in the 21st Century

In the aftermath of the Período Especial (Special Period), Cuba has undergone far-reaching change. This blog book looks from the inside out at the cultural and political manifestations of that change, which range from a new cultural openness to protocapitalist entreupreneurism, from alternative definitions of Cubanidad emerging from below, to regional leadership in sustainability projects.  The project stems from a course offered by Vassar College in Spring 2012 and contributors include our 42 students and three faculty members.
