“The book will be of interest to geographers engaged in debates on diverse economies, as well as those pursuing work on food security, food sovereignty, and/or the politics of food.”  (The Canadian Geographer/Le Geographe Canadien, 25 October 2015)"This book provides pragmatic insights into Cuban culture, which may be extremely useful as trade, travel, and diplomatic efforts increase between Cuba and the United States in the future." (Springer Nature, September 2015)
