I have been following this list for at least a year. I continue to learn from the great information posted here. But now it's time for me to post. I hope this post is appropriate. I grew in Florida during the 1970s and 80s. Fidel was a pariah. I would like to be able to say I challenged this thinking, but I didn't. However I did think even then that Miami had serious anger management issues and they just spouted the same tired angry cliches. The Cuba I learned about via my radio was vastly different from what I was told was fact. In college, around 1990, I took a course on the Cuban Revolution. It greatly changed my views not only on Cuba, but about the US's disastrous history of imperialism. What I learned and remembered dove tails with what Louis Proyect posted yesterday. < http://www.columbia.edu/~lnp3/mydocs/state_and_revolution/cuba.htm> All of this brings me to my question. What books do you recommend about Fidel and the Cuban Revolution in general? I see many available, but it seems more than not, they're just anti-Castro pablum. BTW, Louis, I have now found this page of yours < http://www.columbia.edu/~lnp3/mypage.htm> which I plan to reference as I continue my journey left. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
