For much of the 19th century and all of the 20th, the per capita rate of suicide in Cuba was the highest in Latin America and among the highest in the world - a condition made all the more extraordinary in light of Cuba's historic ties to the Catholic church. This title presents an illustrated social and cultural history of suicide in Cuba.
