The Agricultural Setting of the Cuban Revolution

Arthur MacEwan

Chapter 1 in Revolution and Economic Development in Cuba, 1981, pp 3-8 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When the Cuban revolution triumphed at the beginning of 1959, a majority of Cuba’s population—about 53 per cent—lived in the urban areas. Yet the Cuban economy was dominated by rural, agricultural activity. Agriculture, particularly sugar, determined the ups and downs of the nation’s business, and the problems and conflicts of the rural areas were at the centre of Cuba’s economic life.
