Cuba and the Revolutionary Myth

Westview Replica Editions

The concept of Westview Replica Editions is a response to the continuing crisis in academic and informational publishing. Library budgets for books have been severely curtailed. Ever larger portions of general library budgets are being diverted from the purchase of books and used for data banks, computers, micromedia, and other methods of information retrieval. Interlibrary loan structures further reduce the edition sizes required to satisfy the needs of the scholarly community. Economic pressures on the university presses and the few private scholarly publishing companies have severely limited the capacity of the industry to properly serve the academic and research communities. As a result, many manuscripts dealing with important subjects, often representing the highest level of scholarship, are no longer economically viable publishing projectsor, if accepted for publication, are typically subject to lead times ranging from one to three years.

Westview Replica Editions are our practical solution to the problem. We accept a manuscript in camera-ready form, typed according to our specifications, and move it immediately into the production process. As always, the selection criteria include the importance of the subject, the work's contribution to scholarship, and its insight, originality of thought, and excellence of exposition. The responsibility for editing and proofreading lies with the author or sponsoring institution. We prepare chapter headings and display pages, file for copyright, and obtain Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data. A detailed manual contains simple instructions for preparing the final typescript, and our editorial staff is always available to answer questions.

The end result is a book printed on acid-free paper and bound in sturdy library-quality soft covers. We manufacture these books ourselves using equipment that does not require a lengthy make-ready process and that allows us to publish first editions of 300 to 600 copies and to reprint even smaller quantities as needed. Thus, we can produce Replica Editions quickly and can keep even very specialized books in print as long as there is a demand for them.

About the Book and Author

Cuba and the Revolutionary Myth: The Political Education of the Cuban Rebel Army, 1953-1963

C. Fred Judson

Showing how revolutionary myths helped develop political consciousness, this book traces the political education of the Cuban Rebel Army between 1953 and 1963. Dr. Judson demonstrates that the sources of the revolutionary myths are found in Cuba's struggle for independence in the nineteenth centry and in the political upheavals of the 1920s and 1930s. Also examining the guerrilla struggle of the 1950s in detail, he finds that these early experiences were not only an integral part of formal political education in themselves, but also became the material for new myths that mobilized the guerrillas and then sustained revolutionary morale and consciousness. Later, during the first years of the Cuban Revolution, political education for an enlarged Rebel Army was formalized, political materials developed, and instructors trained; Dr. Judson shows how the original myth of national redemption merged with that of the Rebel Army itself and with the overall Marxist-Leninist vision of socialist revolution to form the basis of political education in the Revolutionary Armed Forces in the 1960s.

Dr. C. Fred Judson is assistant professor of political studies at Queen's University, Ontario.

To the Cuban people, In this year of the 25th anniversary of the Revolution; to the Nicaraguan people, in this year of the 5th anniversary of the Sandinista Revolution; to the people of El Salvador; to those who struggle for social justice everywhere.
