Summary: In the years since the Cuban Revolution, eleven men have served as president of the United States, arguably the most powerful nation on earth. Yet none of them has been able to effect any significant change in the stalemate between the United States and Cuba, its closest neighbor not to share a land border The essays also explore Cuba's international relations beyond the U.S., including with the Soviet Union, Europe, and Canada, highlighting the country's resilience and strategic diplomacy. The collection critiques U.S. policies as outdated and ineffective, while recognizing Cuba’s global significance and domestic challenges. Overall, the book offers a nuanced, multidisciplinary reflection on half a century of diplomatic tension and political transformation.
