Reviews

"De Ferrari explores the barriers between non-Cubans and Cubans, i.e., what the latter think and feel as they move away from a Stalinist model. Her response to the "pure incompatibility" between politics and ethics that describes Cuba today is stimulating. Summing Up: Recommended." -- O. B. Gonzalez, Loyola University of Chicago, in CHOICE
