  • Transforming production and class relations
  • The Cuban revolution’s internationalist road

In the decades of wars, economic crises, and explosive class battles that lie ahead, the load of the toilers of Africa in shaping the long run might be greater than ever before.

Reporting from Equatorial Guinea in central Africa, the authors focal point at the social transformations unfolding, as revenues from offshore oil extraction are used to build infrastructure on which rising labor productivity, industry, and progress depend. Pulled into the world market as never before, both a capitalist class and a working class are being born.

Here also, in accounts of the work of volunteer Cuban medical brigades in Equatorial Guinea, is the living example of Cuba s socialist revolution made imaginable by workers and farmers who were led five decades ago to take power into their very own hands.

Woven together, these seemingly disparate threads the start transformation of production and class relations in Equatorial Guinea, and the proletarian course of the Cuban Revolution show a future to be fought for nowadays.

Introduction by Mary-Alice Waters, photos, maps, index.
