By Grace Lee Boggs - This was my first visit to Cuba and it was only for a week.

In the process they seemed to be creating an alternative vision for Third World countries and perhaps even for deindustrialized cities like Detroit which must now rebuild, redefine, and respirit themselves from the ground up.
