Cubas Foreign relations with Middle Eastern Countries

Více o knize

The book explores the historical ties between Cuba and Middle Eastern countries, tracing roots back to the Ottoman era when Arab immigration to Cuba began. It highlights the enduring identity of the descendants of Ottoman immigrants, known as El Turco. The narrative examines Cuba's independence and the Ottoman interest in the island, hindered by U.S. dominance. Following the 1960s, Cuba's isolation and U.S. embargo stifled relations. The study analyzes political, economic, and cultural dimensions of Cuba's connections with the Arab world, Turkey, and Iran, while also considering future prospects.
