As young people constitute the future development of Cuba, constant analysis of their diverse life experiences is necessary in new and diverse publications by a variety of researchers. This book examines how youth practices intersect with and are influenced by development - economic, human, psychological, social - and how young people negotiate and influence development trends in Cuba. The point of departure for Youth and Development in Cuba is a pluralistic understanding of youth(s) - that is, juventud(es) in Spanish - seen as an active generational subject, influenced sociohistorically, as a kind of collective identity. The collection of chapters from international scholars addresses issues relevant to young people, their experiences and participation in a variety of contexts and explores the diversity of factors that intervene in and shape the current problématiques of young people in Cuba's eastern province of Holguín

lt;p>Richard N. Gioioso is Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of Latin American and Latinx Studies at Saint Joseph's University, USA.
