We Are Cuba!

Cuba’s collapse after the Soviet Union’s fall set the stage for a period of severe economic crisis and adaptation. Drawing on archival research and interviews, the book follows how the country navigated this transition while much of the Soviet bloc disappeared.

It also examines the introduction of market reforms alongside domestic initiatives such as biotechnology, energy reform, and medical internationalism. The result is a clear account of a country balancing socialism and change, with attention to the pressures, choices, and debates shaping its recent history.
