This book explores how Cuba’s famously successful and inclusive
education system has formed young Cubans’ political, social, and
moral identities in a country transfigured by new inequalities
and moral compromises made in the name of survival. The author
examines this educational experience from the perspective of
those who grew up in the years of economic crisis following the
fall of the Soviet Union, charting their ideals, their
frustrations and their struggle to reconcile revolutionary
rhetoric with twenty-first century reality.
