Imperialism, Class Power and Cuban Underdevelopment

Chapter 2 in Revolution and Economic Development in Cuba, 1981, pp 9-16 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The long domination of Cuba by imperialist powers and the consequent nature of class relations within Cuba were central factors effecting the nation’s underdevelopment. Most nations outside Europe and North America have had the course of their development shaped by imperialist domination. But few have experienced the degree of subjugation suffered by Cuba during its 400 years under formal Spanish control as a colony and its 60 years under the de facto control of the United States.
