Reviews
“Few people have really written about, and even fewer understood, the nature, state, and meaning of education in Cuba since the 1960s. This book is at last a real exception to that pattern: not only does it get to the heart of Cuba's remarkable achievements but it does so with an evident sense of commitment and a genuinely intuitive and astute intelligence. This work is a gem, the best work on Cuban education for decades.” (Antoni Kapcia, Professor of Latin American History, University of Nottingham, UK)
“At a time when Cuba finds itself yet again at a historical crossroads, Smith has found a way of exploring the intricate connections between ideology and policy that explains the changing meaning of Cuban citizenship. Highly original and illuminating, the picture of Cuban citizenship that emerges from the study is one that merits serious consideration as a new rapprochement develops with the United States. A thought-provoking and timely book.” (Kepa Artaraz, Senior lecturer in Social Policy, University of Brighton, UK)
“Smith is breaking new ground; her contribution to the study of Cuba and Cuban education is fundamental for understanding the country’s future and will become a reference book for Latin Americanists. Her work is thoughtful and thought-provoking. Masterfully written, her timely research, on the brink of renewed diplomatic relations with the United States, stirs both concern and hope for the new Cuba… a truly impressive and comprehensive book on Cuban education.” (Denni Blum, Associate Professor, Oklahoma State University, USA)
