Overview

12 Myths About Cuba is a concise, evidence-driven guide to the most persistent stories that have shaped global perceptions of the Cuban revolution for decades. Rather than arguing from slogans, the book follows a ""myth vs. reality"" structure: it isolates a popular claim (about democracy, sovereignty, health care, education, culture, ""the embargo,"" equality, international ""solidarity,"" and Cuba's geopolitical role), then tests it against historical context, institutional facts, and documented outcomes. Across twelve chapters, the central idea is that the regime's power has not relied only on police and censorship, but also on narrative: a carefully curated moral epic that travels well abroad even when daily life on the island contradicts it. The result is a practical manual for readers who want to understand how propaganda works, why so many outsiders repeat the same talking points, and what the Cuban case teaches about how modern authoritarian myths are built, exported, and kept alive.
