Abstract

Cuba's position in the international sport arena has improved dramatically since the 1959 socialist revolution. This improvement has lead to the Cuban government's use of sport as a means of reinforcing, both internally and internationally, the socialist ideologies of the Marxist-Leninist Regime. This paper examines how sport is used internally in Cuba as a political tool. It also examines several controversial incidents that have involved Cuban athletes and sport teams.
