Para muchos el análisis de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio de las
Naciones Unidas (MDG en inglés) deja unas imágenes de comunidades pobres y
marginalizadas en el sur global que reciben apoyo financiero, préstamos, y apoyo
de varias ONG del norte global. Pero, ¿puede un país del sur global, con
recursos muy limitados, alcanza tanto los MDG como los Objetivos de Desarrollo
Sostenible (SDG en inglés), y hacerlo sin el apoyo, apoyo financiero del norte
global y la industria de desarrollo? El caso de Cuba, y su estrategia de
desarrollo sostenible, podría ofrecernos algunas pautas sobre la forma de
superar estos retos. En particular este artículo analiza los éxitos de Cuba al
cumplir con los objetivos, tanto de MDG como de SDG, en cuestiones de salud
pública, educación, igualdad de género y medio ambiente.

Cuba's Forgotten Decade provides a comprehensive assessment of the 1970s that challenges prevailing interpretations of the decade as simply a period of "Sovietization" characterized by widespread bureaucratization, institutionalization, and adherence to Soviet orthodoxy. Drawing from multidisciplinary perspectives and exploring a range of areas--including politics, international relations, culture, education, and healthcare--the contributing authors demonstrate that the 1970s were a time of intense transformation that provided pivotal to the development of the Revolution. Indeed, many of the ideas, approaches, policies, and legislation developed and tested during this decade maintain a very visible legacy in contemporary Cuba. In highlighting the complexity of the 1970s, this volume contributes to a greater understanding of the Cuban Revolution and how the country has faced the challenges of the twenty-first century--back cover

Introduction taken from the edited collection Cuba's Forgotten Decade: How the 1970s Shaped the Revolution; Anna Clayfield is also co-editor of this volume. ; Cuba's Forgotten Decade provides a comprehensive assessment of the 1970s that challenges prevailing interpretations of the decade as simply a period of "Sovietization" characterized by widespread bureaucratization, institutionalization, and adherence to Soviet orthodoxy. Drawing from multidisciplinary perspectives and exploring a range of areas - including politics, international relations, culture, education, and healthcare - the contributing authors demonstrate that the 1970s were a time of intense transformation that proved pivotal to the development of the Revolution. Indeed, many of the ideas, approaches, policies, and legislation developed and tested during this decade maintain a very visible legacy in contemporary Cuba. In highlighting the complexity of the 1970s, this volume contributes to a greater understanding of the Cuban Revolution and how the country has faced the challenges of the twenty-first century.
