Summary
Tracing the Cubans' struggle to determine their identity and their state, this text argues that political violence and competing interpretations of the "social unity" proposed by revolutionary patriot Jose Marti, reveal conflicting visions of the nation and explain why polarity came to define Cuban politics through the 20th century.
