Based on extensive research at the Cuban National Archive, this book examines how the Spanish Administration established the embargo of properties during the Ten Years War in April 1869. Results of training in pre-graduate and postgraduate studies in the universities of Holguín and Cienfuegos are examined in an effort to study the processes of inclusion in higher education. The authors investigate inequality trends in Cuba in recent decades through applying quantitative and qualitative methodologies on existing household/individuals surveys.
