From the headline-grabbing stay in Harlem to his first diplomatic trip to Africa, Fidel Castro has made race a key to his foreign policy. Stressing the bonds that link Blacks in the United States and Africa with the more than half of Cuba's population, Castro has used race to embarrass his chief enemy and to cement allies not only with Africa but with the entire Third World. He has turned those alliances into so many bargaining chips to gain power within the Communist bloc. This is not simply a scholarly book; it is a moving book. No one has so capably unveiled the central tragedy of Cuban history, a denial of racism that guarantees it survival. The double drama of Cuba's own history and its foreign policy is a drama painfully, articulately and powerfully presented by Carlos Moore.
