Book Summary
Mad About Cuba: A Malayali Revisits The Revolution offers a lively blend of history, travel writing, and political reflection. Following Ullekh N.P. from his Kannur upbringing and the early Cuban debates he encountered in 1982 to a 2023 journey on a journalist visa, the book invites readers who love memoirs, global history, and thoughtful inquiry to explore how Cuba’s revolution lives on. The tone is curious, respectful, and hopeful, making complex ideas accessible to curious readers of all ages who enjoy learning through stories.
The book is written as a narrative that swings between memory and reportage. In Mad About Cuba, Ullekh guides readers from his Kannur childhood into Cuba’s modern laboratories and classrooms, weaving personal recollections with on-the-ground interviews to offer a window into Cuba’s social experiments, biotechnology labs, and agricultural programs, all while tracing the enduring pull of Fidel Castro’s era.
What makes the experience unique is the human scale: conversations with bureaucrats, scientists, students, and everyday people reveal a nation that persists despite decades of sanctions. The storytelling is lively but grounded, with vivid settings—from university corridors to community farms—paired with thoughtful analysis of public health, biotechnology, and the political ties between Cuba and Kerala. Readers will come away with a nuanced sense of Cuba’s resilience and the questions it raises about the future of its revolution.
After finishing Mad About Cuba, readers gain a nuanced understanding of how a nation endures under sanctions while keeping curiosity, science, and culture alive. Reading Mad About Cuba invites you to think differently about resilience, innovation, and cross-cultural connections, and to see how Cuba and Kerala speak to each other through history and hope.
