SOLVED. Nonfiction book about Cuba. Read in the late 80s. [s]

[Marianne]

I read this book for an anthropology class in the late 80s. I don't know when it would have been published, but probably in the 80s and probably written by a cultural anthropologist who was likely American or Canadian. I don't remember any details about the book itself aside from that it was quite a positive look at Cuba.

[Kris]

Marianne, can you give examples of specific people, topics or opinions discussed in this book?

[Marianne]

Kris, no, I've tried to remember more, and I just can't. I've looked on Google Scholar and saw some that might be it, hoping reading some sample pages would spur recognition, but nothing so far.

[Kris]

How about the time period covered?

[Marianne]

I think there was some historical background provided, but mostly was trying to show what daily life was like for Cubans in the 70s or 80s.

A guess - Cuba: Twenty-Five Years of Revolution, 1959-1984 by Sandor Halebsky & John M. Kirk (editor)?

This might be it. The picture on the front cover of the early editions rings a bell.

Google Books has a snippet preview of Cuba: Twenty-Five Years of Revolution, 1959-1984 by Sandor Halebsky. You might get lucky searching for keywords:

Thanks, Kris. After typing in a bunch of keywords, I'm about 90% sure this is the book. Is that enough to mark this as solved?

The only way I could get that 90 to 100% would be to find the syllabus for a class I took back in the late 80s.

Sounds good. If you find this isn't your book, just post a new comment to let us know.

I marked your request as Solved by clicking the small "edit" link after the topic header. This only works on the full Desktop Website and the Mobile Website - not the App.

Thanks!
