Taxi driving professionals, vintage cars which defy the passage of time to continue chugging on their way, crumbling buildings, streets and socialist dreams, a plethora of bars and mellifluous crooners, hyperfriendly locals engaged on the struggle for survival by oblique means – these are some of the features a visitor to Cuba might first be struck by.
What impact has the collapse of Communism and Soviet subsidies had on one of the last outposts of socialism? How do people manage on wages of $20 a month? What effect does economic need have on human relations? Why do young Cuban girls find Italian tourists old enough to be their grandfathers so attractive? Where has the revolution succeeded and where has it failed? Why are there so many musicians in Cuba?
These are some of the questions the book attempts to answer. It is an ironic, autobiographical account of life on the street as experienced by a young female tourist with an interest in Cuban music and dance. It discusses issues such as race, religion and gender and includes an to the history and music of the island. It describes a kind of frustrated romance with the place, which has both engaged and defeated my enthusiasm for it.
This is an interesting time to be observing the society as the former socialist paradise attempts to accommodate itself to a changed world, and in the name of the survival of socialism is apparently rebuilding itself in the image of the seedy tourist destination it once was in pre-revolutionary times. Since Fidel Castro handed the reins of power to his brother Raul, a series of reforms has ensued, including the radical step of legalising home ownership and house sales. How much longer is the crumbling workers’ paradise going to endure?
