- This 222-page monograph presents the results of extensive fieldwork conducted between 2002 and 2015 in Cuba, enabled by Leverhulme Trust research project grant RPG-2014-182. Employing concepts and methods taken from literary studies, cultural anthropology, reception studies and cultural studies, it locates literary culture in post–1959 Cuba in a broader discussion of the social functions of art. Based on texts and writers that are difficult to access outside Cuba, it provides new perspectives on literary policy and practice, and their key contribution to well-being, in revolutionary Cuba, challenging an orthodoxy that focuses exclusively on the politicisation of literature in Cuba.
