| Summary |
No country in Latin America has escaped the symbolic influence of the United States to the extent that Revolutionary Cuba has.

With sixteen essays by renowned writers and artists, Caviar with Rum: Cuba-USSR and the Post-Soviet Experience is the first book of its kind to bring to life how and why the Soviet period is revisited these days and what this means for creative production and the future of geopolitics |
