In Race to Revolution, \u003cbr\u003ehistorian Gerald Horne examines a critical relationship between\u003cbr\u003ethe two countries by tracing out the typically overlooked interconnections\u003cbr\u003eamong slavery, Jim Crow, and revolution. Slavery was\u003cbr\u003ecentral to the economic and political trajectories of Cuba and the\u003cbr\u003eUnited States, both in terms of each nation's internal political and\u003cbr\u003eeconomic development and in the interactions between the small\u003cbr\u003eCaribbean island and the Colossus of the North. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHorne draws a direct link between the black experiences in two\u003cbr\u003every different countries and follows that connection through\u003cbr\u003echanging periods of resistance and revolutionary upheaval. Black\u003cbr\u003eCubans were crucial to Cuba's initial independence, and the relative\u003cbr\u003efreedom they achieved helped bring down Jim Crow in the\u003cbr\u003eUnited States, reinforcing radical politics within the black communities\u003cbr\u003eof both nations. This in turn helped to create the conditions\u003cbr\u003ethat gave rise to the Cuban Revolution which, on New Years' Day\u003cbr\u003ein 1959, shook the United States to its core. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on extensive research in Havana, Madrid, London, and\u003cbr\u003ethroughout the U.S., Race to Revolution delves deep into the\u003cbr\u003ehistorical record, bringing to life the experiences of slaves and\u003cbr\u003eslave traders, abolitionists and sailors, politicians and poor farmers.\u003cbr\u003eIt illuminates the complex web of interaction and infl uence\u003cbr\u003ethat shaped the lives of many generations as they struggled over\u003cbr\u003equestions of race, property, and political power in both Cuba and\u003cbr\u003ethe United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-159810\"\u003eGerald Horne\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monthly Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583674451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1583674454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL005000\"\u003ePolitical Ideologies | Communism, Post-Communism \u0026amp; Socialism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL030000\"\u003eAmerican Government | National\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL011000\"\u003eInternational Relations | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGerald Horne\u003c\/b\u003e is Moores Professor of History and African-American Studies at the University of Houston.
