The Changing Dynamic of Cuban Civil Society

摘要

In The Changing Dynamic of Cuban Civil Society, Alexander Gray and Antoni Kapcia successfully critique the political agendas and analytical assumptions implicit in studies of Cuban civil society. They show how competing ideologies have obscured a sustained analysis of participatory democracy on the island, and their collection offers an important alternative approach. Specifically, the essays investigate how Cuban civil society was imagined and transformed after the dramatic social and economic upheaval following the loss of Soviet subsidies in the 1990s.
