This inter­na­tional sym­po­sium focused on the Cuban real­ity from the early 1990s through 2006, pre­sent­ing research on the nature of changes under­way in eco­nom­ics, pol­i­tics and pol­icy mod­els, civil soci­ety, art and lit­er­a­ture, race rela­tions, and national iden­tity and cul­ture, as well as Cuba’s role in world affairs.
