Everyday Adjustments in Havana (eBook, ePUB)

Economic Reforms, Mobility, and Emerging Inequalities

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

By comparing the current reform process under President Raúl Castro to Cuba's opening to market capitalism during the 1990s Special Period crisis, Everyday Adjustments in Havana: Economic Reforms, Mobility, and Emerging Inequalities highlights the differences and continuities between adjustments in both periods and their social impacts. It explores the impacts of specific policies such as the expansion of self-employment and the recreation of a private housing market, examining how changes in domestic and international policies after 2011 have modified the post-Special Period status quo and contributed to the formation of new social groups that did not previously exist in Cuba's Socialist society.
