Abstract

The radical alteration of the structure of land holdings in Cuba was one—but only one—aspect of establishing the context for the develop­ment of a socialist agriculture. Another important accomplishment of the early years of the Cuban revolution was the establishment of extensive social programmes in the countryside. Building up medical programmes and educational facilities for the rural population, taking steps to change the position of women, and in general providing the services of modern society to the countryside were also part of the process of transforming Cuban agriculture. In addition, various special production campaigns were organized during the ‘big push’ of the 1960s. While these will be discussed below, Chapter 15, it should be noted here that they served some of the same ends as the social programmes.
