About the Book
A tour in four stages within Cuba’s most exciting era since the Revolution. This book aims to take the viewer across a country which is slowly performing a transition after decades of real socialism. From the triumph of Fidel Castro, that someway guaranteed the survival of his people throughout the past century, Cuba is transforming into a nation which, inevitably, will be shaped by a form of capitalism nurtured by Western interests. Are Cubans ready?
WEST is the region of Cuba where these images were taken.
WEST is the imaginary world Cubans dream watching pirate DVDs.
WEST is the acronym I created to divide this essay in four chapters: Wi-Fi Enabled Socialist Transition.
