  abstract = {{C}uba was a key participant in the struggle for the independence of {A}frican countries during the {C}old {W}ar and the definitive ousting of colonialism from the continent. {B}eyond the military interventions that played a decisive role in shaping {A}frican political history, there were many-sided engagements between the island and the continent. {C}uba and {A}frica, 1959-1994 is the story of tens of thousands of individuals who crossed the {A}tlantic as doctors, scientists, soldiers, students and artists. {E}ach chapter presents a case study - from {A}lgeria to {A}ngola, from {E}quatorial {G}uinea to the {C}ongo - and shows how much of the encounter between {C}uba and {A}frica took place in non-militaristic fields: humanitarian and medical, scientific and educational, cultural and artistic. {T}he historical experience and the legacies documented in this book speak to the major ideologies that shaped the colonial and postcolonial world, including internationalism, developmentalism and {S}outh-{S}outh cooperation. {A}pproaching {A}frican-{C}uban relations from a multiplicity of angles, this collection will appeal to an equally wide range of readers, from scholars in black {A}tlantic studies to cultural theorists and general readers with an interest in contemporary {A}frican history.},
