TOPIC’S RENEWED RELEVANCE: The Cuban Revolution has enjoyed renewed relevance in the last few years. The author brings the early years of the Cuban Revolution into a contemporary context, tapping into current political movements that reject neoliberalism and globalizationNEW PERSPECTIVE: The Cuban Revolution is an ideal lens for examining and defining intellectualism. Artaraz advances the field by situating the definition of „the intellectual“ historically, looking at causes that spurred intellectuals into action. Artaraz moves the debate away from Cold War concepts and focuses on the crisis between Third World and Western intellectualsCOMPARATIVE: The case studies focus on the US, UK and France, offering a rich debate on the definition of the intellectual that takes into account different national traditions. This global perspective yields a unique complexity and widens the market appeal
