520    Food in Cuba follows Cuban families as they struggle to 
       maintain a decent quality of life in Cuba's faltering, 
       post-Soviet welfare state by specifically looking at the 
       social and emotional dimensions of shifts in access to 
       food. Based on extensive fieldwork with families in 
       Santiago de Cuba, the island's second largest city, Hanna 
       Garth examines Cuban families' attempts to acquire and 
       assemble "a decent meal," unraveling the layers of 
       household dynamics, community interactions, and individual
       reflections on everyday life in today's Cuba. With the 
       collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s and the 
       subsequent loss of its most significant trade partner, 
       Cuba entered a period of economic hardship. Although trade
       agreements have significantly improved the quantity and 
       quality of rationed food in Cuba, many Cubans report that 
       they continue to live with food shortages and economic 
       hardship. Garth tells the stories of families that face 
       the daily challenge of acquiring not only enough food, but
       food that meets local and personal cultural standards. She
       ultimately argues that these ongoing struggles produce 
       what the Cuban families describe as "a change in character,
       " and that for some, this shifting concept of self and 
       sense of social relation leads to a transformation in 
       society. Food in Cuba shows how the practices of 
       acquisition and the politics of adequacy are intricately 
       linked to the local moral stances on what it means to be a
       good person, family member, community member, and 
       ultimately, a good Cuban.
