This stunning selection of photos of the Cuban Revolution by Alberto Korda (1928-2001) will have you wondering what Caribbean socialism is all about. The former publicist and fashion photographer turned his gaze on revolutionaries in 1959 and shot the iconic image of Che Guevara. He also traveled widely with Fidel Castro, functioning as an unoffcial photographer.
