(It was re-opened in the summer of 2015 a result of the accord reached by Presidents Ra\u00fal Castro and Barack Obama on December 17, 2014.) On October 3 at 9 AM the U.S. State Department phoned the Cuban Ambassador to Washington informing him that 15 Cuba diplomats must leave the US within seven days. On the same day, at 3 PM, the Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodr\u00edguez held a Press Conference in Havana. He once again strongly rejected the false accusation of \u201csonic\u201d attacks against US diplomats.<\/p>\n<p>What is happening? What are the facts?<\/p>\n<p>This will be a theme of his presentation contextualized in the book\u2019s analysis of Trump\u2019s Cuba policy.

With Fidel Castro\u2019s death focusing outside attention on Cuba\u2019s future and with Trump\u2019s election throwing U.S.\u2013Cuban \u201cnormalization\u201d into question, Arnold August contests the common assumptions and public rhetoric about Cuban politics and about that \u201cnormalization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Antoni Kapcia, University of Nottingham<\/p>\n<p>August provides the reader with a bridge across time and nations to understand the changes that have led to the \u201cnormalization\u201d of Cuba\u2013U.S. Relations and serves as a guide to the Trump future.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Helen Yaffe, London School of Economics<\/p>\n<p>Here at last for English-speaking readers is a full overview of U.S. relations with Cuba from Cuban points of view. The book is essential background for understanding whatever President Trump has in store.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cliff DuRand, Morgan State University<\/p>\n<p>Arnold August is one of the foremost experts on Cuba and the 1959 Revolution, which continues to shake the world. In this new book, August puts forth a valuable, detailed account of U.S.\u2013Cuba relations dating back to 1783 and continuing to the present time. August shows that this relationship has centred on the U.S.\u2019s attempts, sometimes successfully, to dominate Cuba and exploit it as its own playground and, in the case of Guant\u00e1namo, as a maximum-security prison. As he shows, the 1959 Revolution broke the U.S. hold over Cuba, and the U.S. has tried desperately, and many times violently, to regain its control over the island. Obama opened diplomatic ties with Cuba for the first time in 50 years. August explains what this opening means for both countries, and where he sees U.S.\u2013Cuba relations heading after the death of Fidel Castro at age 90 and the rise of U.S. President Donald Trump. For those who want a fresh and reasoned perspective on Cuba and U.S. relations \u2014 and with it a perspective very different from that which we get from the mainstream Western media \u2014 this book is a must-read.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Daniel Kovalik, teacher of international human rights, University of Pittsburgh, School of Law<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-96 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cubausrelations.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dan-Kovalik-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cubausrelations.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dan-Kovalik-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/cubausrelations.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dan-Kovalik-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cubausrelations.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dan-Kovalik.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In his third book, August highlights the many roadblocks on the way to normalization. Unlike many mainstream \u201ccubanologists\u201d, who are blind to imperial arrogance, he places the onus squarely on U.S. prejudices. Regime change remains the ultimate objective under a new disguise. A cultural war has been targeting the younger generations. New Plattists [those in favour of annexation to the U.S.] are showing up. August\u2019s deft analysis, firmly grounded in a prolonged exposure to Cuban history and debates while mapping out the possible future developments, makes for an enlightening book.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Claude Morin, professor (retired) of Latin American history, Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al<\/p>\n<p>Arnold August\u2019s new book on Cuba dispels the propaganda and myths perpetuated by both the U.S. corporate media and the Obama administration and provides valuable insights into what we might expect from a Trump government in the post-Fidel era. August lays bare the realities of Obama\u2019s policies toward Cuba by methodically revealing how his administration\u2019s engagement with the island constituted a shift in tactics while retaining Washington\u2019s decades-long objective of achieving regime change to bring the socialist nation back into the U.S. sphere of influence. It also highlights our narrow definition of democracy by challenging the repeated assertions that Cuba is a dictatorship. This book is a must-read for understanding the constantly evolving imperialist strategies of the United States, not only in Cuba, but throughout the world in the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Garry Leech, independent journalist and teacher of international politics, Cape Breton University<\/p>\n<p>Arnold August\u2019s bristling collection of interventions vigorously debunks U.S.-centric misrepresentations of Cuban society and of Obama\u2019s new \u2018regime change\u2019 strategy. It also engages critically with Cuban intellectuals and bloggers fighting in the \u2018Cultural War,\u2019 challenging the Revolution\u2019s cohesion since the 2014 \u2018normalization\u2019 process began. With its withering anti-imperialism and comradely criticism of Cuban realities, this timely book will open many eyes and raise many hackles.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steve Ludlam, was a senior lecturer (retired), University of Sheffield, and editorial board member,\u00a0International Journal of Cuban Studies. Steve has since passed away. A great loss. We miss him.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0Cuba\u2013U.S. Relations: Obama and Beyond, Arnold August provides an incisive analysis of the process that led to the rapprochement between the United States and Cuba under the leadership of Ra\u00fal Castro and Barack Obama, as well as further developments since. The book is a timely and valuable source of clear analysis of Cuba\u2013U.S. relations at the dawn of the Trump era, and an indispensable tome for activists and others interested in furthering normalized relations between Cuba and the U.S. and asserting Cuba\u2019s right to self-determination and sovereignty over all its territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Pepe Ross, adjunct professor, University of Albany, State University of New York<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/p>\n<p>FERNWOOD PUBLISHING: \u201cAgainst the background of the history of Cuba\u2013U.S. interconnectedness and in light of Obama\u2019s ini\u00adtiative and Trump\u2019s election, Arnold August deals with the relationship between the two countries, delving into past and current U.S. aggression against Cuba\u2019s artistic field, ideology and politics. Based on twenty years of fieldwork in and investigation of Cuba, this book provides a unique perspective on the island\u2019s diverse approaches to the cultural war being waged\u00a0by the U.S. and illustrates the heterogeneous nature of Cuban society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/p>\n<p>Arnold August has an M.A. in political science from McGill University, Montreal, where he resides. His books include DEMOCRACY IN CUBA AND THE 1997-98 ELECTIONS, CUBA AND ITS NEIGHBOURS: DEMOCRACY IN MOTION (Fernwood Publishing\/Zed Books, 2013), CUBA-U.S. RELATIONS: OBAMA AND BEYOND (Fernwood, 2017).
