  • Street scene in Havana, Cuba. <br />
With Cuba cautiously introducing free-market changes that have legalized hundreds of thousands of small private businesses over the past two years, new economic bonds between Cuba and the United States have formed, creating new challenges, new possibilities — and a more complicated debate over Washington’s 50-year-old trade embargo. The longstanding logic has been that broad sanctions are necessary to suffocate the totalitarian government of Fidel and Raúl Castro. Now, especially for many Cubans who had previously stayed on the sidelines in the battle over Cuba policy, a new argument against the embargo is gaining currency — that the tentative move toward capitalism by the Cuban government could be sped up with more assistance from Americans.Photo/Tomas Munita for The New York Times

  • Planting potatoes near near Güira de Melena, Cuba. The Cuban government last year legalized a range of small businesses, including an agriculture exchange. But the partial privatization of agriculture has made farming here less efficient, illustrating the practical limitations that continue to hold the country back. Photo/Tomas Munita

  • Four brothers from the Morales family in their room, a "barbacoa"  - or room built on the top of the main and only room of the house - where they have to share two bed with their mother. Centro Havana. All over the capital and in many provincial towns, Cubans are beginning to inject money into the island’s ragged real estate, spurred by government measures to stimulate construction and a new law that allows them to trade property for the first time in 50 years.

  • Butchering a pig next to the street in Regla, on the outskirts of Havana. More Cubans are farming, and there have been production gains for certain items. But  waste, poor management, policy constraints, transportation limits, theft and other problems have in many cases resulted in less food at private markets. Photo/Tomas Munita
