In 1961, hundreds of thousands of Cubans together confronted a social problem that still concerns much of the world today - illiteracy. Through mass mobilizations, the country's students, teachers, workers and peasants achieved in one year what was apparently impossible: the goal of basic literacy for almost Cuba's entire population.<BR>Forty years later, this book rediscovers the energy, dedication and youthful spirit of those who participated in this brilliant literacy campaign in Cuba.
