Listen, Yankee!: Why Cuba Matters

Tom Hayden,Ricardo Alarcon

Based on unprecedented access to both Cuban and American officials, a book that offers fresh insight into one of history’s most enigmatic relationships between nation-states-from one of America’s best-known voices of political and social activism. Listen, Yankee!aoffers an account of Cuban politics from Tom Hayden’s unique position as an observer of Cuba and as a US revolutionary student leader whose efforts to mobilize political change in the US mirrored the radical transformation simultaneously going on in Cuba. Chapters are devoted to the writings of Che Guevara, RUgis Debray, and C. Wright Mills; the Cuban missile crisis; the Weather Underground; the assassination of JFK; the strong historical links between Cuba and Africa; the Carter era; the Clinton era; the Cuban Five; EliBn GonzBlez; and the December 17, 2014 declaration of normalization by presidents Obama and Castro. Hayden puts the present moment into historical context, and shows how we’re finally finding common ground to the advantage of Cubans and Americans alike.a
