From the Publisher
"[This] argument that urban labor was not absent in the process of colonial uncoupling between Cuba and Spain is new, tight and very well documented. The research is impressive, the data are original, and the material . . . will make this book a touchstone."--Jeremy Adelman, Princeton University
"Bread or Bullets! is a tour de force . . . The research is extraordinary, encompassing regional and national Spanish, Cuban, and U.S. sources. It will represent a major contribution to the new literature on the history of popular sectors/classes, or 'subalterns.'"--Harold Sims, University of Pittsburgh
