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. 588 0 Online resource; title from title page (viewed on EbookCentral, 2020-06-03) 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 Since 1990|2fast 650 0 Food supply|zCuba. 650 0 Food consumption|zCuba. 650 0 Food habits|zCuba. 650 0 Quality of life|zCuba. 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & Social. |2bisacsh 650 7 Food consumption|2fast 650 7 Food habits|2fast 650 7 Food supply|2fast 650 7 Quality of life|2fast 650 7 Social conditions|2fast 651 0 Cuba|xSocial conditions|y1990- 651 7 Cuba|2fast 776 08 |iOnline version:|aGarth, Hanna.|tFood in Cuba.|dStanford, California : Stanford University Press, [2020] |z9781503604629|w(DLC) 2019016001|w(OCoLC)1097365971 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2277584|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
