Voices From The Other Side: An Oral History Of Terrorism Against Cuba
"Since 1960, successive US administrations have waged an aggressive illegal war against Cuba, the human toll of which has long been ignored. Bolender's book corrects this ignorance, offering a true people's history of perseverance. Highly recommended." -- Greg Grandin, Professor of History at New York University and author ofEmpire's Workshop: Latin America, the United States, and the Rise of the New Imperialism(2006) "A book that should be read and passed around…[This book does far more than the already-important goal of putting a human face to the victims of these terrorist acts ...it gives us a new understanding of the psychological warfare the US has been carrying out parallel to its economic and military war. This is a book that should be in every library and every progressive bookshelf." -- Karen Lee Wald, author ofChildren of Che "Counter-narratives are always welcomed: a way to develop new perspectives and challenge old perceptions.Voices From the Other Sideis especially timely, for it turns the prevailing paradigm of terrorism on its head: in this instance, Cuba as object of a policy of sanctions, subversion, and sabotage as experienced in the daily lives of the Cuban people." -- Louis A. Pérez, Jr., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "This is a book that should be in every library and on every progressive bookshelf. I urge people to buy it, read it, pass it on to others." -- Karen Lee Wald, author ofChildren of Che: Child Care and Education in Cuba
