| Summary |
"This comparative history of Cuban campesinos, from 1934 to 1974, covers two regions marked by extreme differences in race, gender, and land tenure: Oriente and Escambray. The author examines the largely suppressed history of a region whose name has been expunged from the historical record to explore the question of why campesinos participated in both revolution and the counterrevolution"--Provided by publisher. |
