Reviews
"The Revolution Within is a groundbreaking collection of essays that is ideal for undergraduates, graduate students, and all scholars of Cuba and Latin American revolutions who are looking for a new and in-depth take on 1959 and its legacies. Its historiographic intervention into using known and little-known sources, decentering the United States, and highlighting continuities over ruptures makes it a must-read for studying Cuba in the twenty-first century."
-- Devyn Spence Benson H-LatAm, H-Net Reviews
"Some of the best historical scholarship on the Cuban Revolution to date.… This book may not provide any startling or new revelations or dramatically overturn what we already know. But its essays contain important methodological themes, creative uses of sources, and valuable insights. In the process, we arrive at a far richer and more complex account of the first two decades of the Cuban Revolution."
-- Michelle Chase The Americas
"This volume is particularly suitable for students and scholars who seek to understand the causes and effects of the Cuban Revolution, not only within the island but around the world. The essayists eloquently and persuasively develop their theses in a logical, objective way to present a multiplicity of historical perspectives so that readers can interpret the revolution in a panoramic manner."
-- William O. Deaver Jr. Journal of Global South Studies
“The opening chapter by the editors gives us one of the most comprehensive, astute, and objective surveys of the evolving, variable, and always argumentative literature on post-1959 Cuba.... Several contributions stand out for their scope, insight, or novelty.... [Revolution from Within] adds much to our understanding of history in and about Cuba.”
-- Antoni Kapcia Hispanic American Historical Review
“This book is a welcome and meaningful addition to contemporary Cuban studies.... The subjects covered are original and approached in methodologically interesting and innovative ways, and the diversity and nuance of historical thought in this book allow the reader to find their own path into Cuban history and Revolution(s).”
-- Isabel Story Journal of Latin American Studies
