Socialism and Democracy

Fifty years ago, a dictator was ousted and socialism began to took root in Cuba. How do Cubans who supported the revolution then feel about it now? And how have Cubans coped with hardships brought on by, among other things, the USSR's collapse? Robert Arellano's novel Havana Lunar is about a young, idealistic Cuban doctor. David Strug has studied older Cubans' understandings of the revolution.
