  • The Independent Press Refuses to Remain in the Dark
    THE INDEPENDENT PRESS REFUSES TO REMAIN IN THE DARK March 2006 Investigation : Benoît Hervieu Reporters Without Borders Americas desk 5, rue Geoffroy Marie 75009 Paris Tél : (33) 1 44 83 84 84 Fax : (33) 1 45 23 11 51 E-mail : [email protected] Web : www.rsf.org On March 18, 2003, an unprecedented wave of repression broke over Cuban dissidents. For three days, ninety opponents of the regime were arrested on grounds that they were "agents of the American enemy." Among them were twenty-seven journalists. Nearly all of them were tried under the "88 Law" of February 1999, which protects the "national independence and economy of Cuba," and were given prison sentences ranging from 14 to 27 years. This "black spring" dealt a heavy blow to Cuba's independent press, which had started to emerge on the island in the early 1990s with the creation of small news agencies. Since the latter's founders and directors who had been thrown in jail, many journalists preferred to give up their profession or opt for a life of exile. Did inde- pendent journalism die out in Cuba that day? Three years after the crackdown, Reporters Without Borders wanted to take stock of the situation. Unable to send representatives to Cuba, the organi- zation contacted journalists who were still living on the island, or in exile, members of an agency or freelancers, families of jailed dissidents and media outlets - such as Internet websites, radio sta- tions, and publications - most of whom are based in Miami (the second largest Cuban city in the world, with close to 3 million nationals), Puerto Rico, and Madrid.

Lucero A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Dr. Louis A. Pérez, Jr. Dr. Kathryn Burns Dr. John Chasteen Dr. John D. French Dr. Miguel La Serna ©2013 Bonnie A. Lucero ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BONNIE A. LUCERO: Engendering Inequality: Masculinity and Racial Exclusion in Cuba, 1895-1902 (Under the direction of Dr. Louis A. Pérez, Jr.) This dissertation explains the rise of a culture of racial silence in a time of heightening racial exclusion in Cuba at the turn of the twentieth century. Employing a case study of Cienfuegos, a port city on the south-central coast of the island, I examine gendered articulations of inequality among Cuban separatists between the outbreak of the war of independence in 1895 and the inauguration of the Cuban republic in 1902. I argue that Cuban struggles for political power in the wake of the American military intervention (1898) and military occupation (1899-1902) fundamentally transformed separatist visions of citizenship, increasingly restricting its boundaries along racial lines. Separatists expressed racial exclusion in terms of masculinity. During the first years of the war, a discourse of racial brotherhood afforded inclusion to all men regardless of race or class. There were two key turning points thereafter. When Cubans entered the final year of the anticolonial struggle and especially after the American intervention, diverse groups of separatists struggled to secure access to political power.

  • The Geology of Cuban Petroleum Deposits
    THE GEOLOGY OF CUBAN PETROLEUM DEPOSITS. By E. DEGOIVYER, New York City, New York. I. INTRODUCTION*. The earliest known discovery and use by white men in the New World of any member of the petroleum family is probably that made by Sebastian Ocampo in the Bay of Havana, Cuba, in 1508. Ocampo found on the waters of the bay a "liquid bitu­ men'' with which he careened his ships and as a result of this circumstance called the bay "Puerto de Carenas", a name which it bore until 1519, when the city of Havana was moved form its original foundation on the south shores of the island to its present site and the name of the bay changed in conformity. Oviedo, in 1535, mentions a spring of "pitch" near the coast in the province of Puerto Principe and another on the shores of Havana Bay. The asphalts, whose occurrence in Cuba is wide­ spread, were probably well known during colonial times and petroleum itself was not unknown during that time, since Hum­ boldt, who visited the island during the early part of the last century, mentions the occurrence of petroleum springs in the serpentines of Cerro de Guanaboca (sic.) and the reported occur­ rence of petroleum springs in the eastern part of the island. The baths of Santa Rita in Guanabacoa, famous during the colonial epoch, consist of springs of medicinal waters coming from crevices in the serpentine. The most medicinal of these springs seems to be the one accompanied by exudations of a petroleum of fairly good quality. La Sagra published, in 1828, an extended account of the asphalt deposits near Havana.
