η
this groundbreaking book, Arnold August explores Cuba s unique form of
democracy, presenting a detailed and balanced analysis or Cuba s electoral
process and the state s functioning between elections. By comparing them
with practices in the U.S., Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador, August shows that
people s participation In politics and .society is not limited to a singular, U.S.-
centrtc understanding of democracy.
Ihrough this deft analysis, August illustrates how the process of democratiza¬
tion in Cuba is continually in motion and argues that a greater understanding
or different political systems teaches us to not be satisfied with either blanket
condemnations or idealistic political illusions.
This bock, a tour
dv
force from an
experi
who cteariy known his field well, is one
hai
goes out
ι
ay to make us think about what we understand by democracy
and how we should v tations
