    About this ebook

    Since the fall of the Soviet Union, we have witnessed a rapid transition from communist regimes to more democratic forms of governments around the world. In most of these situations, the changes and pre-transition analyses have focused on the areas of political and economic transformation while paying very little attention to the impact such dramatic changes have on the people. This book attempts to analyze some of these human factors as it applies to Cuba and what impact it will have for the future.
