Description de l’éditeur

Abstract. This article examines the ways in which the development of health systems and health "rights" contribute to a country's identity. The centrality of health care to Cuban nationalism expresses political and social values, while achievements in health and medicine establish domestic and international dimensions of regime legitimacy. Cuban health indicators and medical advancements have created both symbolic and real capital, and can be properly understood as cultural products of the revolution. It is argued in this article that Cuba's excellent health indicators, which secure a significant measure of social equality, productivity, and well-being, as well as its national identity, are threatened by emerging inequality and increased public health risks that are associated with economic decline and the expansion of the tourist industry and foreign interests on the island. Resume. Cet article examine les facons dont le developpement des systemes de sante et des " droits " a la sante contribuent a l'identite d'un pays. La centralite de la sante publique pour le nationalisme cubain exprime des valeurs politiques et sociales, alors que les reussites dans le domaine de la sante et de la medicine etablie des dimensions de legitimite sur les plans domestique et international. Les indicateurs de sante et les avancements medicaux a Cuba ont cree un capital a la fois symbolique et reel qui peut etre compris comme un produit culturel de la revolution. L'article signale que les excellents indicateurs de la sante a Cuba qui sont a la base d'un degre significatif d'egalite sociale, de productivite et de bien-etre, aussi bien que de l'identite nationale, sont menaces par l'inegalite emergente et par les risques de sante publique qui decoulent du declin economique et de l'expansion de l'industrie touristique et des interets etrangers dans l'ile.
