Cuba Material es un archivo de la cultura material cubana, y de las prácticas y significados asociados con esta. Es también una colección de objetos, documentos y vestuario producido, comercializado o utilizado en Cuba durante la Guerra Fría. Este archivo surgi� del inter�s en documentar y preservar significados y pr�cticas relacionados con la cultura material de la vida cotidiana durante las tres d�cadas m�s peculiares de la historia de Cuba, delimitadas por un lado por el triunfo revolucionario del 1ro de enero de 1959, que dio paso al alineamiento del pa�s con la Uni�n Sovi�tica en el mapa pol�tico de la Guerra Fr�a, y por otro lado por el derrumbe del Muro de Berl�n en 1989 y la posterior ca�da de los reg�menes de socialismo de Estado de Europa del Este y desintegraci�n de la URSS, que dieron paso a la crisis del Periodo Especial. Como todos los l�mites, las marcas "1959" y "1989" son un tanto arbitrarias, pues de igual modo que en t�rminos de materialidad hay m�s continuidades que rupturas entre el primer a�o de la Revoluci�n y el precedente, el derribo del Muro de Berl�n en 1989 no repercuti� de forma inmediata en la cultura material de la Isla. De hecho, hay objetos en la colecci�n -y en este libro- que fueron producidos o comercializados en el periodo liminal que se extiende desde 1989 a 1991, de gran valor documental, explicativo o heur�stico. Cuba Material es un proyecto de Mar�a A. Cabrera Ar�s, ganador en 2014 del New Challenge Award for Social Innovation otorgado por New School for Social Research. Las fotos del libro son de Xavier Tavera.
