Joseph Hartman focuses on the public works campaign of Cuban president, and later dictator, Gerardo Machado. Political histories often condemn Machado as a USpuppet dictator, overthrown in a labor revolt and popular revolution in 1933. Architectural histories tend to catalogue his regimes public works as derivatives of US and European models. Dictators Dreamscape reassesses the regimes public works program as a highly nuanced visual project embedded in centuriesold representations of Cuba alongside wider debates on the nature of art and architecture in general, especially in regards to globalization and the spread of USstyle consumerism. The cultural production overseen by Machado gives a fresh and greatly broadened perspective on his regimes accomplishments, failures, and crimes. The book addresses the regimes architectural program as a visual and architectonic response to debates over Cuban national identity, US imperialism, and Machados own cult of personality.
