The autumn of a utopia: paradoxes of racial integration in Cuba and its impact on the quality of life of the Afro-descendant elderly.

Abstract

For decades, Cuban revolutionary propaganda through its different means of persuading public opinion has constructed a narrative of racial inclusion and integration in Cuba, with the objective of representing the Revolution as an inclusive and pluralistic phenomenon. This idea, however, has been systematically contradicted by Cuban social and political reality, especially since the 1990s and more markedly in recent years.
