Abstract

The article reviews "How Things Fall Apart: What Happened to the Cuban Revolution," which explores the lived experiences of Cubans from the 1980s to 2020, focusing on the dynamics of the Cuban revolutionary society. The book, based on an oral history project, features narratives from seven individuals that illustrate the transition from a collectivist economy to a market-oriented one, highlighting the resulting inequalities and social changes. It discusses the impact of the collapse of Soviet support on Cuba's economy and the shift in leadership under Fidel and Raul Castro, ultimately providing insights into the complexities of the Cuban revolutionary experience. The work is deemed valuable for scholars and activists interested in understanding the realities of life in Cuba during this transformative period. [Extracted from the article]
