A Revolução Cubana promoveu grandes transformações na sociedade da ilha. Novas publicações, instituições culturais e manifestações artísticas acompanharam a efervescência política e cultural ao longo dos anos 60. Esta pesquisa analisou o suplemento cultural Lunes de Revolución, a editora El Puente e o suplemento cultural El Caimán Barbudo, com o objetivo de mostrar o surgimento das novas publicações e manifestações culturais em Cuba após o triunfo da Revolução. O trabalho demonstra que o surgimento de uma política cultural acarretou a normatização e o controle das produções culturais pelo governo cubano desde os anos 1960, e mais ainda após 1971, quando se acentuou o fechamento e o endurecimento no meio cultural cubano.

Las publicaciones mexicanas Plural y Vuelta fueron dirigidas por Octavio Paz y constituyeron un espacio importante de circulación de ideas entre intelectuales latinoamericanos en los años setenta y ochenta del siglo XX. En las dos publicaciones se publicaron reflexiones críticas sobre la política cultural de la Revolución Cubana y temas como libertad de expresión y de creación, censura y la relación entre los intelectuales y el gobierno fueron debatidos en las revistas. La prisión y confesión del escritor cubano Heberto Padilla, que quedó conocido como «caso Padilla», fue un importante tema de debate en las publicaciones.
