| Abstract
|
:
|
For more than 50 years America's unrelenting hostility to the Cuban Revolution has resulted in the development of a siege mentality among island leadership and ordinary citizens. It has affected politics, economics, culture, and nearly all aspects of everyday life. In a vibrant new look at Cuban-American relations, Keith Bolender analyzes, through the voices of the powerful and the common, both the positive and negative of a revolutionary society constantly under pressure from the world's greatest power. Using both historic and current examination, including comparisons with America under siege since 9/11, the work covers the roots of besiegement, the impact it has had on the Cuban people, and the question of how and when it will end.
