However, no significant change took place at the political level. In \u003ci\u003eCommunity and Culture in Post-Soviet Cuba\u003c\/i\u003e, De Ferrari looks into the extraordinary survival of the Revolution by focusing on the personal, political and aesthetic social pacts that determined the configuration of the socialist state. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough close critical readings of a representative set of contemporary Cuban novels and works of visual art, this book argues that ethics and gender, rather than ideology, account for the intellectuals' fidelity to the Revolution. \u003ci\u003eCommunity and Culture\u003c\/i\u003e does three things: it demonstrates that masculine sociality is the key to understanding the longevity of Cuba's socialist regime; it examines the sociology of cultural administration of intellectual labor in Cuba; and it maps the emergent ethical and aesthetic paradigms that allow Cuban intellectuals to envision alternative forms of community and civil society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGuillermina De Ferrari\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Caribbean Literature and Culture at University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.
