( March 8, 2017, Boston, Sri Lanka Guardian) Samuel Farber was born and raised in Cuba and has written extensively on that country. His newest book, The Politics of Che Guevara: Theory and Practice, is available from Haymarket Books. International Socialist Review editor Paul D’Amato interviewed him in early December 2016.
