"The birth and development of commercial television in Cuba in the 1950s occurred
alongside political and social turmoil. In this period of dramatic swings encompassing
democracy, a coup, a dictatorship, and a revolution, television functioned as a beacon
and promoter of Cuba's identity as a modern nation. In Broadcasting Modernity, television
historian Yeidy M. Rivero shows how television owners, regulatory entities, critics,
and the state produced Cuban modernity for television. The Cuban television industry
enabled different institutions to convey the nation's progress, democracy, economic
abundance, high culture, education, morality, and decency. After nationalizing Cuban
television, the state used it to advance Fidel Castro's project of creating a modern
socialist country. As Cuba changed, television changed with it. Rivero not only
demonstrates television's importance to Cuban cultural identity formation, she explains
how the medium functions in society during times of radical political and social transformation"--Back
