| Sumario: | This article examines the interplay between city and country in the earliest years of the Cuban Revolution of 1959.

At the same time, these early initiatives also contributed to the growing disaffection with the Cuban revolution. The article, thus, lends insight into the excitement and polarization of Cuba's "revolutionary moment." |
