Book excerpt: Every society must find a way to resolve the tension between individual interests and the common good. Today, poorer nations bear the added burden of sagging economies and colossal debt, hardly a sound basis for sustaining a semblance of civil rights or social justice. Cuba stands apart, as a small and poor country, which nevertheless has established standards of access to education, health care and housing that are among the highest in the world. An understanding of the legal system that has fostered and continues to protect this singular achievement offers inarguably important lessons for the global legal and policy-making community. Debra Evenson's eloquent analysis of Cuban law and society first appeared in 1994, and remains the only detailed, first-hand treatment of the subject. This thoroughly revised second edition incorporates the many changes that have taken place in Cuba during the last decade. The author finds a regime still unalterably committed to preserving fundamental principles of socialism, even as it struggles against enormous odds to maintain a secure place in the global economy. As it analyzes the substantive and procedural issues of the various fields of law, judicial administration and legal practice, Law and Society in Contemporary Cuba explores at every turn the ongoing 'reinvention' of socialism that Cuba has chosen to pursue. Cuba's commitment to a sustainable socialist economy in the prevailing market-driven global context colors the numerous recent reforms that introduce decentralized decision making and management at local and enterprise levels. The author explains the effects of de-subsidization of state enterprises on legal issues arising in labor-management relations, banking, and taxation, and describes new 'private' initiatives such as expanded areas of foreign investment, individual ownership of farms, and increased self-employment incentives. Other fields of law covered include criminal justice, family law, environmental regulation, intellectual property, and judicial procedure. Ms. Evenson does not turn a blind eye to the undeniable limitations on freedom of expression and political association imposed by Cuban law. However, her analysis also reveals the express and persistent U.S. hostility and efforts to undermine the current government that have a direct impact upon reducing the political and legal space for spontaneous debate inside Cuba. In doing so, she does readers an additional service by allowing us to reflect on the outcomes of one of Washington's most consistent foreign policy directions over the past four decades. By illuminating the relationship between law and social policy in a system striving to guarantee basic social rights, racial and gender equality and equitable distribution of wealth, this book is a major contribution to legal theory and invites re-examination of the appropriate balance between social justice and individual autonomy as perceived by the dominant legal culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cuban revolution of 1959 both challenged U.S. interests and precipitated one of the largest migration to the United States. By the end of the twentieth century, more than one million Cubans, one-tenth of the total population, had emigrated, mostly to the United States. Family relations developed within two phases of specific global contexts, reflecting Cuba's changing international position and the U.S. response. The first occurred after 1960, when Cuba aligned itself with the Soviet bloc in the final decades of the Cold War. The second was after 1990, when Cuba adapted to the global economy in the post-Cold War environment (Special Period). In both instances, Cuban families have found themselves adversely affected by U.S. policies that have politicized migration. Cuban emigration has transformed the character of Cuban families. Vast numbers of Cubans are direct casualties of U.S. policies designed to create economic havoc as a means to overthrow the Cuban government. Divided families found themselves continually separated not only by the Florida straits but U.S. laws and policies which, for over the past fifty years, have manipulated migration procedures, travel authorization, and remittances regulations, the very means by which families maintain connections. This article reviews the relationship between U.S. policy after 1959 and the legal mechanisms that influenced the character of the binational Cuban/Cuban-American family. Over the course of the last fifty years, the United States has used the rule of law to deny families fundamental customs of care-taking and comfort. Of course, the regulation of migration and attendant matters of travel and remittances are customarily linked to national policy and international concerns. However, in the case of U.S. laws governing the relationship of Cuban binational families, notwithstanding some recent changes announced by the Obama Administration,there is no normativity of impartiality that can be discerned. These efforts have failed to achieve their goals. On both sides of the Florida straits, individuals improvised-often extra-legal-mechanisms of mutual familial support. In doing so, they act as transgressors of laws and policies as a means to maintain family support systems.
Download or read book Cuba written by Professor Jorge I Doma-Nguez and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon publication in the late 1970s this book was the first major historical analysis of twentieth-century Cuba. Focusing on the way Cuba has been governed, and in particular on the way a changing elite has made claims to legitimate rule, it carefully examines each of Cuba's three main political eras: the first, from Independence in 1902 to the Presidency of Gerardo Machado in 1933; the second, under Batista, from 1934 until 1958; and finally, Castro's revolution, from 1959 to the present. Jorge Domínguez discusses the political roles played by interest groups, mass organizations, and the military. He also investigates the impact of international affairs on Cuba and provides the first printed data on many aspects of political, economic, and social change since 1959. He deals in depth with agrarian politics and peasant protest since 1937, and his concluding chapter on Cuba's present culture is a fascinating insight into a society which--though vitally important--remains mysterious to most readers in the United States. Cuba's role in international affairs is vastly greater than its size. The revolution led by Fidel Castro, the Bay of Pigs invasion, the missile crisis in 1962, the underwriting of revolution in Latin America and recently in Africa--all these events have thrust Cuba onto the modern world stage. Anyone hoping to understand this country and its people, and above all its changing systems of government, will find this book essential.
