Sweat Equity: A Study of Housing Systems by and for the People in the United States and Cuba.
Cole, Johnetta B.
Black Scholar, v11 n2 p40-56 Nov-Dec 1979
Compares housing problems and their resolution in Cuba and the United States. States that U.S. urban homesteading programs such as "sweat equity" are oriented to middle-income people and do not address needs of most Blacks. Contrasts this with Cuba whose government has made a sustained effort to improve housing. (Author/WP)
