La utilidad de la virtud. Un estudio de la ciudadanía en Cuba: 1898-1994

Abstract

This paper offers some reflections on the development and transformations that the notion and the exercise of the rights of citizenship have undergone in Cuba from the last century up to the present. If we take the idea that there are two different traditions of citizenship as our starting point -one which is passive and understands citizenship as status, and the other active, participative and militant-the analysis seeks to demonstrate how the different traditions of thinking, institutional frameworks and diverse practices that have characterized Cuban politics and society at different stages condition differing notions and exercises of the rights of citizenship
