Un par de recomendaciones de lectura, de textos de inicios del año pasado, pero que vale la pena revisar:

Fidel's Final Victory
Julia E. Sweig
Foreign Affairs, January/February 2007

Summary: The smooth transfer of power from Fidel Castro to his successors is exposing the willful ignorance and wishful thinking of U.S. policy toward Cuba. The post-Fidel transition is already well under way, and change in Cuba will come only gradually from here on out. With or without Fidel, renewed U.S. efforts to topple the revolutionary regime in Havana can do no good -- and have the potential to do considerable harm.

Nearly 50 years after a small island nation embarked on one of history’s most radical social experiments, it’s time to measure the results.

One of Castro’s harshest critics squares off with one of his foremost advocates.
