ALBA Launches Summer Institute for Teachers his summer, ALBA initiated its latest and most ambitious educational out- reach program to date: the ALBA Summer Institute for High School TTeachers. Thanks to the generous support of the Puffin Foundation, ALBA was able to bring together a group of 17 high school teachers from the New York area for a week of professional and curricular development that focused on teaching the Spanish Civil War. ALBA partnered with the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center, Tamiment Library, and NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development to maximize our impact. There were three objectives: (1) to identify and cultivate a group of talented and dedicated public school teachers by introducing them to the extraordinary documentary resources available in our archive; (2) to take advantage of the col- lective experience of these teachers in order to learn what materials in and around the archive might be of most interest to high school students and teach- ers; and (3) to work with the teachers to develop lesson plans and supporting materials that will make the primary source materials in the archives easy to access and to use.

  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.
