Danny Shaw has been traveling to Cuba since 1995 in support of the country’s socialist revolution. Unsatisfied with the official proclamations and guided tours for international leftists, he embarked on a project of first-hand ethnographic research across the country over the decades. With a command of Cuban Spanish, Shaw wandered off the beaten path, independently evaluating conditions in the country.

La Revolución cubana es una doctrina anti-monroísta, fundada en las ideas de liberación americana de Simón Bolívar y José Martí.
