Description

The Cuban Revolution as Socialist Human Development is a review of the Cuban Revolution from a socialist and humanist perspective. It explores unresolved issues in the idea of human development made popular by the United Nations Development Programme. The authors argue that UNDP and other international development agencies attempt to give a human face to an inhumane capitalist development process. This title argues that understanding Cuba on a deeper level provides an alternative model of development.
