CA ?BBCAN REVIEW The New Cuban Presence in the Caribbean edited by Barry B. Levine July 1983, 274 pages $26.50 (cloth), $11.50 (paper) "Comprehensive and well-balanced ideo- logically . useful for courses on interna- tional relations, comparative politics, and Latin American foreign policy." -Carmelo Mesa-Lago, University of Pittsburgh "This book fills a void that has existed in the study of inter-American relations ... The authors' clear, well-written prose is suitable for teaching college students . . especially valuable." -Jorge I. Dominguez, Harvard University This book explores in detail the history and nature of Cuba's influence in the Common- wealth Caribbean, Mexico, and Central and South America, as well as its relations with revolutionary movements and communist parties throughout Latin America. The authors place Cuba's Western Hemisphere contacts within the wider framework of the island's in- volvements with the Third World (especially Africa) and the Soviet Union. The meaning of the new Cuban presence becomes clear in the authors' analyses of the limits to that presence and the way the United States should respond to it.
