| Summary |
Cuba and Africa, 1959-1994 goes beyond the military interventions that decisively shaped African political history. Each chapter presents a case study- from Algeria to Angola, to Equatorial Guinea to the Congo, and shows the multiplicity of African-Cuban relations - humanitarian and medical, scientific and educational, cultural and artistic. |
