Listen, Yankee!: Why Cuba Matters

Informed by the author's unique history, not only as an observer of Cuba's complex and intricate past, but also as a revolutionary leader of student movements in the US, one whose efforts to mobilise political change in the US mirrored a simultaneous radical transformation in Cuba. There are chapters devoted to the writings of Che Guevara, Regis Debray and C. Wright Mills; the Cuban Missile Crisis; the Weather Underground; the assassination of JFK; the strong historical links between Cuba and Africa; the Carter era; the Clinton era; the Cuban 5; and Elian Gonzalez.
