ABSTRACT
Research has shown that the Cuban Revolution of 1959 was supported by the majority of the Cuban people; however, many questions concerning the popular support for the revolutionary process have not yet been studied in detail.2 Most approaches observe a whole range of interactions and pressure from “above” and from “below” that shaped the revolutionary process.3 But beyond the mere question of majorities, the qualitative aspects of popular support and its government, as well as the mobilizations against it, remain a subject that has sparked discussions ever since.4
