First sentence: Cuba has a complex colonial history, deeply affected by the slave trade and by the foreign powers that have interfered in its quest for self-determination-Spain, England, the United States, and to a lesser extent, the Soviet Union.
Description: "Produced with unprecedented access to Cuban national archives, iRevolucion! is the largest collection of these posters ever published. With an introduction illuminating the rich social and artistic history of the posters, and rare biographical information on the artists themselves, this beautiful volume offers a revealing look at Cuba's efforts to define itself through a potent mix of imagery and politics in striking visual terms."--Jacket.
