About this product
Product Information
In the first decade of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro saturated the media with altruistic images in a campaign to win the hearts of Cuba's six million citizens. Lillian Guerra argues that these visual representations explained rapidly occurring events and encouraged radical change and mutual self-sacrifice. Using previously unexplored sources, Guerra focuses on the lived experiences of citizens as they struggled to author their own scripts of revolution.
