Bog beskrivelse
The ignominious failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 marked the culmination of a curious episode at the height of the Cold War. At the end of the fifties, restless and rebellious youth, avant-garde North American intellectuals, old leftists, and even older liberals found inspiration in the images and achievements of Fidel Castro’s revolutionary guerrillas. <i>Fidelismo</i> swept across the US, as young North Americans sought to join the 26th of July Movement in the Sierra Maestra.<br><br>Drawing equally on cultural and political materials, from James Dean and Desi Arnaz to C. Wright Mills and <i>Studies on the Left</i>, Gosse explains how the peculiar conjuncture of 1950s America produced the first great Third World solidarity movement, the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, which became a locus for the New Left emerging from the ashes of Kennedy’s New Frontier.<br><br><i>Where the Boys Are</i> captures the strange essence of that much-abused decade, the 1950s, at once demonstrating the perfidy of Cold War American liberal opinion towards Cuba and its revolution while explaining why Fidel and his <i>compañeros</i> made such appealing idols for the young, the restless, and the politically adventurous.
