Two critiques:
1. The book is a bit outdated (inescapable due to it being published in 1988).
2. One factual inconsistency between chapters about the year in which slavery was abolished in Cuba (one chapter mentions 1880, another 1886).
Otherwise, all encompassing and compiled thoughtfully. Will definitely have on my shelf for many years to come!

Far too favorable towards the Castro regime, and uncritical of the official rhetoric regarding advancements in race and gender equality. This anthology was composed by people who should know better. A guide to Cuba for true believers, not skeptics.
