Gender perspective in Cuban families

This work presents a qualitative approach to anthropological research that tries to show the family institution and the gender relationship as inseparable from the sociocultural context in which they exist. It considers how the dynamic and the characteristics of the family are modelled depending on historic, political, economic and ideological aspects. In particular, the Cuban case is analysed, in order to know how far its historical past as a colony and the influence of the Government (which, since 1959, showed interest in achieving a real equality on gender and encouraged the presence of women on all public aspects) have influenced the change or transformation of the family and the situation of the Cuban women on the island as well as in foreign countries.
