The Mechanisms and Impacts of the Sanctions in Cuba

This episode of Guerrilla History is a continuation of our Sanctions As War miniseries. In this excellent episode, we have a discussion with Professor Helen Yaffe on the history and the impacts of sanctions on Cuba, absolutely something that all anti-imperialists need to be fully aware of and engage with to act in solidarity with the Cuban Revolution. Help us spread the word by sharing with comrades, it will be of benefit to the show and to the left movement generally. Be sure to also stay turned for more installments of our Sanctions As War series!

Helen Yaffe is a lecturer in Economic and Social History at the University of Glasgow, specialising in Cuban and Latin American development. She is the author of We Are Cuba! How a Revolutionary People Have Survived in a Post-Soviet World (Yale University Press, 2020) and Che Guevara: The Economics of Revolution (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009).
