Beyond the throngs of tourists streaming through Central Havana's broad Prado
Avenue, and outside the yoke of Castro's 43-year-old Revolutionary program,
there exists a parallel Cuba - a separate evolution of a people struggling to
survive. With personal stories that depict a people torn between following the
directives of their government and finding a way to better their lot,
journalist Ben Corbett gives us the daily life of many considered outlaws by
Castro's regime. But are they outlaws or rather ingenious survivors of what
many Cubans consider to be a forty-year mistake, a tangle of contradictions
that has resulted in a strange hybrid of American-style capitalism and a
homegrown black market economy. At a time when Cuba walks precariously on the
ledge between socialism and capitalism, This Is Cuba gets to the heart of this
so-called outlaw culture, taking readers into the living rooms, rooftops,
parks, and city streets to hear stories of frustration, hope, and survival.
Updated with a new preface.
