The Island That Dared is a passionate book from the pen of Dervla Murphy, which begins with a three-generational family holiday in Cuba.
Led by their redoubtable hard-walking grandmother, the trio of young girls and their mother soon find themselves camping out on empty beaches beneath the stars with only crabs and mosquitoes for company as Dervla Murphy begins her quest to understand the unique society that has been created by the Cuban Revolution.
She returns again and again to explore the island, investigating the experience of modern Cuba with her particular, candid curiosity. Through her own research and through conversations with Fidelistas and their critics alike, The Island That Dared builds a complex picture of a people struggling to retain their identity in the face of insistent hostility, and to stand against the all-but-overwhelming fire-power of capitalism.
