Handbook on Cuban History, Literature, and the Arts
The ubiquitous billboards in Cuba featuring the emblem of the Young Communist League (UJC) are part of the landscape of the revolution. The profiles of Che Guevara, Camilo Cienfuegos, and Julio Antonio Mella, staring into a blissful future under the slogan “Estudio, Trabajo, Fusil” (Study, Work, Rifle) are among the most recognizable motifs of communist Cuba. Such organization came from the first three years of the revolution; its existence canno…
From Planning to Market
The measures introduced by Raúl Castro since 2008 and the most recent US-Cuba policy change indicate that Cuba is shifting from a planned and highly centralised state socialist economic model toward one in which economic actors and markets become main drivers of the economy. The examples of Asian and Central and Eastern European socialist countries suggest four distinguished pathways for such transition. The question is which one may provide a fe…

Cuban Counterpoints
Cuban Counterpoints
While Fernando Ortiz's contribution to our understanding of Cuba and Latin America more generally has been widely recognized since the 1940s, recently there has been renewed interest in this scholar and activist who made lasting contributions to a staggering array of fields. This book is the first work in English to reassess Ortiz's vast intellectual universe. Essays in this volume analyze and celebrate his contribution to scholarship in Cuban hi…
Transforming Brazil
Charting a New Course
Toward a New Cuba
This work provides an analysis of change in contemporary Cuba, the ways in which present circumstances will shape the future and the extent to which Cuba fits, or defies, models of transition. It also looks at how political, social and economic sectors might respond to various transition scenarios
Exports and Local Development
City and countryside in the onset of Brazilian industrialization
Coffee, Contention, and Change in the Making of Modern Brazil
The Costs of Regime Survival
Export Agriculture and Development Path
This paper compares 'regions of "recent settlement' (Australia, Canada, the United States, and New Zealand) and Argentina to help assess the conditions under which export oriented agrarian regions and societies adopt a development path oriented to industrialization, focusing on the 1860s through the 1930s. The paper surveys the available literature to trace how agricultural export sector expansion shaped land tenure, class formation, and agrarian…

The Latin American Economies
Coffee Planters, Politics, and Development in Brazil
By 1920 the state of São Paulo boasted the largest coffee economy in the world and was leading Brazil's transition from export expansion to industrialization and “dependent development.” The state was well on the way to becoming a showcase of socioeconomic development in Latin America. This essay explores the role played by the São Paulo coffee elite in the politics of this development process, particularly with respect to the demise of the regim…

Democratic Socialism in Jamaica
Export agriculture and development
Capitalism, Socialism, and Technology
The Fitful Republic
This book explains the varied political roles played by agrarian and industrial groups in the modernization of Argentina. It seeks to account for the attainment of a high level of social complexity that has not, however, been matched by steady economic growth or political stability. What have been the determinants of economic growth in Argentina? In what sense does its capitalist development differ from that of other advanced societies? Under wha…
