Fidel Castro and the quest for a revolutionary culture Castro and the children : the struggle for Cuba's young minds Castro and the goal of sexual equality The revolutionary battle to transform attitudes toward labor Revolutionary sports : a genuine success The successes and failures of the quest for a revolutionary culture
"An excellent study of political culture, emphasizing cultural and normative resistance to revolutionary values, norms, and goals. Challenges much of the scholarship that maintained that revolution permanently transformed Cuba's traditional culture, and finds that 'most Cuban workers rejected many of the revolutionary requirements of the Castro government' (p. 184). Highly recommended"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57. http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
