This is a collection of translated essays by the Cuban revolutionary, Esteban Morales Domínguez (political economy, U. of Havana) focused on the Cuban experience of race since the revolution. They address racial consciousness, affirmative action, metaphors of color, contentious race science in a country inspired by "scientific socialism," race and republicanism, and challenges that race poses in the socialist context. A couple of interviews are included along with a glossary of names and terms. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
