Diez nuevas miradas de historia de Cuba

"Although exhaustively researched, book is too detailed and not well written. Work does not focus on Cuba directly; rather, it studies the powerful influence of Cuban proslavery interests in the fight against reforms and abolition carried on by Valencia's urban patriarchs"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

He examines the political crises, the emerging social movements on the continent that are spearheading international resistance to neoliberalism-from the water struggles in Bolivia to the landless movement in Brazil-and considers alternative options for development.
