From the Escambray to the Congo: In the Whirlwind of the Cuban Revolution

In this participant's account, Víctor Dreke describes how easy it became after the Cuban Revolution to "take down the rope" segregating blacks from whites at town dances, yet how enormous was the battle to transform social relations underlying all the "ropes" inherited from capitalism and Yankee domination. He recounts the determination, internationalism, and creative joy with which working people have defended their revolutionary course against U.S. imperialism--from Cuba's own Escambray mountains, to the Americas, Africa, and beyond.
