摘要:While policies implemented after the Cuban Revolution of 1959 greatly increased black Cubans’
access to education, health care and improved economic opportunities, this author shows that the government’s
class-based approach to solving racial problems has led to the persistence of economic inequalities along
racial lines. The paper’s analysis will attempt to deconstruct racial politics in Cuba to better understand why
and how a disproportionate amount of Afro-Cubans still form the bottom of the socioeconomic strata under
Fidel Castro’s regime.
