My life in Cuba

Abstract

I was born in 58 and the revolution triumphed in 59. From then on, things were no longer the same; restrictions on products such as milk in the food rations had begun (since they had invented the supply booklet where each Cuban was given a quota), and they began to want to introduce politics to the youth. The PCC party (Communist Party of Cuba) was created, and mass associations such as the UJC (Union of Young Communists), FMC (Federation of Cuban Women) and CDR (Committees for the Defense of the Revolution). There I began to see how the Cuba in which I had been born and had grown up happily was changing and taking on other nuances: it was already a communist Cuba, and one with which many Cubans did not agree.
