Title: whitewash of the Cuban History process
Review: I read this and the other volumes and found them lacking in the documentation of the Cuban people. It whitewashes the fact that Cuba was and remains a generally racist country. The book ignores the abuses by the Spanish and eventually the Spanish-bred white citizens upon the native and black population.This book and many others turn a blind eye to documenting a people's struggles. While one may encounter many Cubans who would affirm that racism did not exist, the fact remains that racism was an integral fabric of the history of Cuba. Many historical events were shaped by this, and authors (especially predominantly white ones) prefer to ignore this and fail to mention it. History is made up of many white lies, and this book is no exception.
