Paperback. Etat : New. Available in paperback for the first time, this book brings an original and innovative approach to a much-misunderstood aspect of the Cuban Revolution: the place of literature and the creation of a literary culture. Based on over 100 interviews with a wide range of actors involved in the structures and processes that produce, regulate, promote and consume literature on the island, the book breaks new ground by going beyond the conventional approach (the study of individual authors and texts) and by going beyond the canon of texts known outside Cuba. It thus presents a historical analysis of the evolution of literary culture from 1959 to the present, as well as a series of more detailed case studies (on writing workshops, the Havana Book Festival and the publishing infrastructure) which reveal how this culture is created in contemporary Cuba. It thus contributes a new and complex vision of revolutionary Cuban culture which is as detailed as it is comprehensive.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The first decade of the twenty-first century saw a radical new approach to higher education in Cuba, as the country began slowly to recover from the economic and social devastation of the 1990s: the decision to establish local university sites in every one of its 169 municipalities. From a sector dominated by White, urban youth, participation widened to include people and, vitally, places that had been excluded or viewed as peripheral. In a country of 11 million people, university enrolments reached almost 750,000, offering unprecedented access to higher learning and creating a mass of new professionals who would go on to transform their localities.This book lays out those local transformations, drawing on interviews and workshops with students, teachers and policymakers from six very different communities in the mountainous eastern province of Granma. Their testimony highlights the interconnectedness of individual and collective change, the importance of situated pedagogy and the direct impact of higher learning on communities material and cultural development. Setting their experiences of the programme against the controversies that beset it brings into focus, again and again, the competing priorities of equality, social value, economic realities, academic excellence and political conformity: essentially, the debate over what and who higher education is for."It is, so far, the first ethnographic approach to the universalisation of Cuban higher education. From her honest positionality, Smith goes beyond hegemonic research sites and narratives, and shows us how local people enacted a network of (new) local relationships, agencies, knowledge, and social positions from within their local universities. This research definitively assesses how universalisation came about in Cubas municipalities, transcending the aim of training professionals."Alexander Cordoves, Aarhus University"Smiths impressive study about Cubas municipalization and universalization program of higher education in the Granma province reveals depth and breath, providing a holistic and illuminating account about a littleknown topic in Cuban education. Theoretically sophisticated, she makes a convincing argument for community engagement in higher education. Noteworthy is the inclusion of participants to contribute to the analysis and studys write-up. Smiths scholarship and approach reflects the Cuban values she so deftly documents: equity, inclusion, and justice."Denise Blum, Oklahoma State University. Using testimony from students and teachers in mountainous Granma province, this book assesses the legacy of Cubas experiment with mass local higher education in the 2000s. It highlights the interconnectedness of individual and collective change, the importance of situated pedagogy and its impact on communities material and cultural development.
