  • Fulgencio Batista and Populism in Cuba, –*
    J. Lat. Amer. Stud. , – Printed in the United Kingdom # Cambridge University Press The Architect of the Cuban State: Fulgencio Batista and Populism in Cuba, –* ROBERT WHITNEY Abstract. This article examines how Fulgencio Batista y Zaldı!var emerged as the ‘strong man’ of Cuba. Historians have pointed out that from to Batista’s primary support came from the army and the police. We also know that, like many other Latin American leaders at the time, Batista went through a ‘populist phase’. Populists acknowledged the reality that ‘the masses’ were a new force in society and that ‘the people’ were at the centre of the nation and the state. Populist discourse functioned to construct a ‘people’ out of fragmented and scattered populations. Batista was very aware that in order to rule Cuba he had to appeal to ‘the people’ and to the revolutionary sentiments of . But we need more information about exactly what Batista’s political ideas were and how he put them into practice. This article shows how Batista became, in his own words, the ‘architect’ of the post-revolutionary state between and . Batista supervised Cuba’s transition from a military dictatorship in to a nominal constitutional democracy in . The aim is to shed some light on how this remarkable transition took place. Between the s and the early s the combined pressures of mass mobilisation, revolution, economic crisis and the threat of foreign intervention from the United States compelled Cuban politicians from across the ideological spectrum to come to terms with the clases populares " as a factor in national and international politics.

El que desconoce su pasado, no puede vivir su presente a cabalidad y, por lo tanto, le será mucho más difícil intentar diseñar su futuro. Cuba, comparada con otros países, tiene una historia breve pero intensa, compleja y singularísima en su devenir. Cuenta con destacadas figuras que han contribuido a enriquecer la idiosincrasia de su pueblo y a estimular la participación colectiva en los asuntos que conciernen a la nación y al mundo. Pablo Félix Alejandro Salvador de la Torriente Brau no nació ni murió en Cuba, pero la historia de este país en la cuarta década del siglo XX no puede escribirse omitiendo su nombre. No se vinculó a las aulas universitarias, pero es imposible referirse a las luchas estudiantiles universitarias sin mencionarlo. En la Universidad de La Habana existe un busto con su imagen. Nunca cursó estudios de periodismo, pero está considerado uno de los mejores periodistas de su época.

  • Presidenciales (I)
    Presidenciales (I) Por Ciro Bianchi ¿Sabía usted que la antigua provincia de Las Villas, en el centro de la Isla, fue el territorio que más nombres aportó a la presidencia de la República de Cuba entre 1902 y 1959? ¿Que no hubo ningún camagüeyano que llegara a desempeñar la primera magistratura, y que tres de los que lo hicieron nacieron en el exterior?, ¿que de los presidentes de Cuba siete fueron abogados y dos médicos, y que hubo incluso un graduado de Filosofía y Letras y dos ingenieros?, ¿que los de extracción más humilde fueron los que más se amillonaron en el ejercicio del poder? De esos y de otros temas que atañen a los mandatarios cubanos anteriores a 1959 el escribidor hablará enseguida. Geografía En Las Villas nacieron José Miguel Gómez Gómez y su hijo Miguel Mariano Gómez Arias (ambos en Sancti Spíritus), Gerardo Machado y Morales (Camajuaní), Alberto Herrera y Franchi y Carlos Mendieta Montefur (San Antonio de las Vueltas) y Federico Laredo Bru (Remedios). Curiosamente también eran villareños Manuel Urrutia Lleó (Yaguajay) y el cienfueguero Osvaldo Dorticós Torrado, ambos abogados, que no entran en este recuento porque ocuparon la presidencia a partir de 1959. Dorticós fue el último en desempeñar tal cargo, que desapareciera en 1976, cuando la Constitución que entró en vigor entonces creó el cargo de Presidente del Consejo de Estado. En Matanzas (Jagüey Grande) nació Mario García-Menocal y Deop. Pinareños eran Ramón Grau San Martín (La Palma) y Carlos Prío Socarrás (Bahía Honda). Carlos Hevia y de los Reyes Gavilán y Alfredo Zayas y Alfonso nacieron en La Habana; el último de ellos en el Cerro.

    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 30, Issue 3 2006 Article 10 Guantanamo and U.S. Law Joseph C. Sweeney∗ ∗ Copyright c 2006 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Guantanamo and U.S. Law Joseph C. Sweeney Abstract This Article deals with the United States’ presence at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the domestic and international law issues that have arisen, and the nature of the jurisdiction exercised there by the United States. It does not deal with the operation of the prison facility. Guantanamo Bay is near the eastern end of Cuba, 628 miles (1000 km) from the capital, Havana. It is a deep- water harbor, protected by hills from the extremes of Caribbean weather; but it has an unhealthy tropical climate. The forty-five square miles of the Guantanamo Naval Base have been occupied by the United States since the Spanish-American War in 1898. Originally a coaling station, it had been utilized for training, repairs, anti-submarine warfare, and humanitarian rescue before its present uses. Its continued presence is deeply resented in the island State of almost twelve million people, but the persistence of the communist dictatorship of Fidel Castro has strengthened U.S. determination to hold on, even though the base no longer serves a military purpose.
