Margaret Randall is the author of dozens of books of poetry and prose, including HaydÉe SantamarÍa, Cuban Revolutionary: She Led by Transgression and Che on My Mind, and the editor of Only the Road / Solo el Camino: Eight Decades of Cuban Poetry, all also published by Duke University Press.

"Exporting Revolution [is] another excellent contribution to our understanding of Cuban policymaking compiled by the poet and activist Margaret Randall."  - Gavin O'Toole (Latin American Review of Books) "Margaret Randall gives a thoughtful historical analysis of the politics of the island nation, mostly during the Fidel Castro era. . . . Randall lived in Cuba from 1969 to 1980. It’s an analysis based on her wealth of experience." - David Steinberg (Albuquerque Journal) "Randall studies internationalism through poetry’s perspective but in doing so she succeeds and shines a light on novels, short stories, poetry and essays that she describes as the beginning of a genre of internationalist writing worthy of further study in itself." (Morning Star) “Anyone interested in Cuba, foreign policy, foreign development assistance, and international humanitarianism will find Exporting Revolution of interest. . . . Scholars of all stripes should examine Randall’s key argument fully and critically.” - Peter M. Sánchez (The Latin Americanist) "A personal take on Cuban internationalism. . . . The greatest contribution lies in chapters 8, 9, and 10, which contain translated short-story excerpts written by Cuban internationalists. The selections would enrich syllabi for courses on Cuban history or global health." - Elizabeth Schwall (The Historian) "[Randall] makes us rethink how foreign aid is conceived and deployed in other countries by focusing on the policies implemented by the Caribbean island. Hers is an interesting contribution to the literature concerned with humanitarian assistance and foreign aid." - Marcus Oliver Golding (H-War, H-Net Reviews) "As a mythopoetic testament … this recitation of the Cuban Revolution's importance and successes has much to recommend it.… With no impartiality and little pretense, and rich with oral histories, anecdotes, and effort to situate the Cuban revolution's place in the global firmament, this combination memoir, oral history, presentation of work not normally seen, and distinctive political analysis is, like the Cuban Revolution, extraordinary, unique."  - Eric Selbin (Left History)
