Book review: Race in Cuba: essays on the revolution and racial inequality

"Race in Cuba: Essays on the Revolution and Racial Inequality." Esteban Morales Domínguez. Monthly Review Press. February 2013. --- Available for the first time in English, the essays collected here describe the problem of racial inequality in Cuba, provide evidence of its existence, constructively criticize efforts by the Cuban political leadership to end discrimination, and point to a possible way forward. This book underscores that one can both believe in the Revolution as well as identify areas needed for improvement, and represents a noteworthy shift in thinking about race in Cuba, concludes Vanessa K. Valdés.
