For over fifty years, these sanctions have been upheld by\u003cbr\u003eevery presidential administration, and at times intensified by individual\u003cbr\u003epresidents and acts of Congress. They are a key part of\u003cbr\u003ethe U.S. government's ongoing campaign to undermine the Cuban\u003cbr\u003eRevolution, and stand in egregious violation of international\u003cbr\u003elaw. Most importantly, the sanctions are cruelly designed for their\u003cbr\u003eharmful impact on the Cuban people.\u003cbr\u003eIn this concise and sober account, Salim Lamrani explains everything\u003cbr\u003eyou need to know about U.S. economic sanctions against\u003cbr\u003eCuba: their origins, their provisions, how they contravene international\u003cbr\u003elaw, and how they affect the lives of Cubans. He examines\u003cbr\u003ethe U.S. government's own official documents to expose what is\u003cbr\u003ehiding in plain sight: an indefensible, vicious, and wasteful blockade\u003cbr\u003ethat has been roundly condemned by citizens around the\u003cbr\u003eworld.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3480576\"\u003eSalim Lamrani\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monthly Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.55w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583673409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1583673407\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-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS024000\"\u003eLatin America | General\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\u003cstrong\u003eSalim Lamrani \u003c\/strong\u003eteaches at the University of Paris- Sorbonne Paris IV and the University of la Réeacute;eacute;union.
