Cuba for Beginners: An Illustrated Guide for Americans

In 1971, Pathfinder Press published this single-issue comic, an illustrated guide aimed at American readers seeking a straightforward, socialist perspective on the Cuban Revolution and its aftermath. Created by Rius, the Mexican cartoonist known for his accessible and satirical educational comics, the book uses a simple, engaging style to explain Cuba's history, politics, and relationship with the United States. It stands as a notable example of political cartooning used for mass education, offering a clear, partisan viewpoint that has kept it in print for decades.
