Rezensionen

"The Social Life of Literature in Revolutionary Cuba provides a noteworthy discussion of recent Cuban cultural production and everyday life. Responding to economic, political and social changes, Cuban culture at this time acutely highlights the relationship between social well-being and cultural participation. Kumaraswami's book will be of value to scholars seeking a timely interdisciplinary analysis of Cuban culture during the first two decades of the twenty-first century." (Erin s. Finzer, Bulletin of Spanish Studies, Vol. 98 (07), 2018)
