Recognizing that Cuban law does have some limitations on the freedom of expression and political association of those who oppose Cuba's current political system, Evenson insists that does "not make Cuban law a sham" and argues that "individual autonomy and freedom have not been completely subsumed by collective prerogatives," with rights of due process being established and generally respected. After analyzing the Cuban Constitution, she looks at the development of the institutions and professions concerned with the implementation of law. Other chapters are devoted to specific areas of law, including equality, family law, criminal justice, private property, and economic law. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
