Inside Castro's Cuba

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Two documentary reports by Bernard Jackson
1: Communism with Sugar on Top
Sugar, cigars, rum - the Cuban economy still depends heavily, as in pre-revolutionary days, on traditional symbols of luxury and wealth. Yet, 27 years into its Communist revolution, much of Cuba's trade is with the Soviet bloc thousands of miles away, while relations with its near-neighbour the USA are as bad as ever. What impact has
Communism had upon life in this Caribbean island, and how far have traditional Latin values survived?
