In this book, Adam Kufeld presents a photographic portrait of Cuba - one of the last remaining communist worlds. In 100 colour photographs - neon-lit night-life in Havana; alienated youth at an amusement arcade; men and women, young and old, queuing for food; youths showing their support for revolution by carrying posters of Fidel Castro; religious altars in commemoration of famous saints; men harvesting tobacco - he shows us that he has no illusions about Cuba. For him it is neither a workers' paradise nor a communist hell. Instead it is a land of contrasts and contradictions, of hope and resignation, of great creativity and corruption.
