In this expansive and contemplative history of Cuba, Louis A. Perez Jr. argues that the country's memory of the past served to transform its unfinished nineteenth-century liberation project into a twentieth-century revolutionary metaphysics. In this capstone book, Perez discerns in the Cuban past the promise that decisively shaped the character of Cuban nationality.
