Reviews

At yet another crossroads for Cuba (coming to terms with both a post-Trump world and the human, economic and political costs of Covid-19), its global context could not be more relevant, even for a system that has always had to react rather than shape the world. This volume therefore is very apposite and invaluable at a key time, viewing Cuba's place in the present world through the eyes of some of the very best specialist experts in their fields, who bring us analysis with a mix of balanced perspectives and deep thought. One of the best of its kind. -- Tony Kapcia, University of Nottingham
