Puede afirmarse que la Revolución Cubana del Primero de Enero de 1959 es el hecho político más trascendental de la historia latinoamericana y caribeña en el siglo XX. En épica hazaña la nación cubana llevó a cabo la insurrección armada victoriosa contra una dictadura impuesta desde los centros de poder de los Estados Unidos. El enclave neocolonial se transformó así en un país libre y soberano, con plena independencia política y económica. Pero el imperialismo norteamericano no aceptaba la legitimidad de ese proceso, que había demostrado la factibilidad de una revolución en contra de su voluntad. Principios esenciales de la doctrina de la seguridad estadounidense fueron vulnerados. En la lógica de las tesis sobre el fatalismo geográfico, la Doctrina Monroe, el Destino Manifiesto, y el Panamericanismo, le revolución cubana era esencialmente irracional y subversiva. El pragmatismo de los descendientes de Thomas Jefferson y John Quincy Adams, de William McKinley y Theodore Roosvelt no se abstuvo de emprender tácticas y estrategias diseñadas para aniquilar una nación, una ideología y una cultura. El fundamento geopolítico, geoestratégico y geoeconómico de los propósitos de la diplomacia norteamericana es la clave para comprender y entender el núcleo de la política que se trazó contra Cuba y que, a fines de siglo, está vigente, a pesar de los nuevos escenarios y actores internacionales. Es precisamente este contexto en el que se desarrollaron las operaciones encubiertas de la CIA y la actividad de las organizaciones contrarevolucionarias encaminadas a destruir el socialismo cubano. Las Operaciones Pluto, Mangosta, el Programa de Múltiple Vía, el programa subversivo de la Administración Johnson, constituyen el objeto de estudio de 3 esta investigación, consagrada a dilucidar esencia y contenido de los más siniestros planes de inteligencia, subversión, terrorismo y guerra psicológica jamás desplegados por la comunidad de inteligencia de los Estados Unidos contra una nación extranjera. Los objetivos definidos en el diseño teórico - conceptual estaban dirigidos a: - explicar el contexto histórico en que se gestan e instrumentan las diferentes operaciones estudiadas; - identificar las direcciones principales de la Operación Pluto, la Operación Mangosta, el Programa de Múltiple Vía y el programa subversivo de la Administarción Johnson; - caracterizar, desde los enfoques de la sociología marxista, el teatro de operaciones en el que se enfrentan, por una parte, los Órganos de la Seguridad del Estado de la Revolución, y por otra, la comunidad de inteligencia de los Estados Unidos y las organizaciones contrarrevolucionarias que operaban en el interior y el exterior; - definir las bases de sustentación de la consolidación de los éxitos y victorias de la revolución para derrotar los planes e intenciones de las fuerzas enemigas, y las vulnerabilidades y debilidades de la CIA y la contrarrevolución que las condujeron a su holocausto operativo. En la ejecución de estas tareas científicas se procesó, clasificó, analizó y evaluó documentación de los archivos del Ministerio del Interior y del Centro de Investigaciones Históricas de la Seguridad del Estado. Se tuvo acceso a importantes investigaciones teórico - operativas sobre operaciones encubiertas de la CIA contra Cuba. Además, se revisaron publicaciones de expertos en asuntos de seguridad nacional de Cuba, la Unión Soviética, República Democrática Alemana y Estados Unidos. Fueron considerados los resultados y enfoques de cuatro tesis de doctorado sobre la formulación de la política de Estados Unidos hacia Cuba de las que el autor de esta investigación fue tutor. Expertos y especialistas en asuntos de la 4 seguridad del estado fueron consultados, lo que permitió esclarecer incógnitas y perfeccionar el estudio. Además, se evaluaron los documentos desclasificados recientemente por la CIA, el Pentágono y el Departamento de Estado. La experiencia operativa del autor como oficial, analista y especialista en asuntos referidos a la seguridad del estado contribuyó a la realización del trabajo. En el escenario actual de confrontación en el campo de las ideas, la cultura y la política en el que se expresa con nitidez impar el diferendo CUBA - Estados Unidos, adquiere importancia y significación creciente, la exposición, descripción y explicación de la génesis y desarrollo de las operaciones de subversión y terrorismo de los servicios de inteligencia de los Estados Unidos contra la nación cubana. Hoy como ayer los Estados Unidos no renuncian a su pretensión hegemónica y anexionista en relación con la isla indómita. Como siempre, desde el pasado siglo, Cuba defiende su derecho a la independencia, la soberanía, la justicia social, la dignidad, asociados ahora, en el umbral del siglo XXI al socialismo autóctono y autónomo, surgidos al calor de los combates y luchas de liberación nacional de las últimas cinco décadas. En el extenso expediente de la CIA están registradas y documentadas las más tenebrosas actividades de subversión y terrorismo contra un país latinoamericano y caribeño. No fueron escatimados recursos humanos , ni tecnologías, ni imaginación. Destruir a Cuba ha sido el sueño y pesadilla de nueve administraciones norteamericanas. El poderoso escudo de la Revolución lo ha frustrado. La resistencia del pueblo constituye un importante capítulo en la historia de Cuba en el que se destacan los combatientes de los Órganos de la Seguridad del Estado, hombres y mujeres, y miles de colaboradores anónimos que no vacilaron en arriesgar y en algunos casos ofrendar sus vidas en defensa de los 5 nobles ideales

  • The 1970S: Pluralization, Radicalization, and Homeland
    ch4.qxd 10/11/1999 10:10 AM Page 84 CHAPTER 4 The 1970s: Pluralization, Radicalization, and Homeland As hopes of returning to Cuba faded, Cuban exiles became more con- cerned with life in the United States. Exile-related struggles were put on the back burner as more immediate immigrant issues emerged, such as the search for better jobs, education, and housing. Class divisions sharpened, and advocacy groups seeking improved social services emerged, including, for example, the Cuban National Planning Council, a group of Miami social workers and businesspeople formed in the early 1970s. As an orga- nization that provided services to needy exiles, this group de‹ed the pre- vailing notion that all exiles had made it in the United States. Life in the United States created new needs and interests that could only be resolved, at least in part, by entering the domestic political arena. Although there had always been ideological diversity within the Cuban émigré community, it was not until the 1970s that the political spec- trum ‹nally began to re›ect this outwardly.1 Two sharply divided camps emerged: exile oriented (focused on overthrowing the Cuban revolution- ary government) and immigrant oriented (focused on improving life in the United States). Those groups that were not preoccupied with the Cuban revolution met with hostility from those that were. Exile leaders felt threat- ened by organized activities that could be interpreted as an abandonment of the exile cause. For example, in 1974 a group of Cuban exile researchers conducted an extensive needs assessment of Cubans in the United States and concluded that particular sectors, such as the elderly and newly arrived immigrants, were in need of special intervention.2 When their ‹ndings were publicized, they were accused of betraying the community because of their concern with immigrant problems rather than the over- throw of the revolution.

Heller, PhD Hybridity and Identity in the Pan-American Jazz Piano Tradition William D. Scott, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2019 The term Latin jazz has often been employed by record labels, critics, and musicians alike to denote idioms ranging from Afro-Cuban music, to Brazilian samba and bossa nova, and more broadly to Latin American fusions with jazz. While many of these genres have coexisted under the Latin jazz heading in one manifestation or another, Panamanian pianist Danilo Pérez uses the expression “Pan-American jazz” to account for both the Afro-Cuban jazz tradition and non-Cuban Latin American fusions with jazz. Throughout this dissertation, I unpack the notion of Pan-American jazz from a variety of theoretical perspectives including Latinx identity discourse, transcription and musical analysis, and hybridity theory.

Publicado por: Yunet López Ricardo Los dos supieron siempre que en aquellos tiempos el país necesitaba cambiar. Y armados con «eso» que les sobra a los que luchan por lo justo, combatieron una madrugada de julio de 1953 en distintos lugares de Santiago, donde estaban seguros que comenzarían a caer los primeros pedazos de un Gobierno que sometía a Cuba y no respetaba la vida de sus jóvenes. En ese entonces Raúl Castro Ruz tenía 22 años y Juan Almeida Bosque 27, pero como la edad no interesa si el combate es firme, resistieron también los meses en la cárcel de Isla de Pinos, y como tampoco existen sanciones para castigar la dignidad, cantaron allí, junto a los otros valientes, frente a Batista y a toda voz, la Marcha del 26 de Julio. Por su lucha navegaron desde México hasta los pantanos de la costa sudoriental de Cuba y avanzaron con el agua a la cintura, las armas sobre la cabeza y la certeza de un triunfo que costaría mucha sangre, pero llegaría.

The following study assesses these charges. After establishing a definition of terrorism, it examines U.S.-Cuban relations from 1808 to 1958, arguing that the United States has historically employed violence in its efforts to control Cuba. U.S. leaders maintained this approach even after the Cuban Revolution: months after Fidel Castro‟s guerrilla army took power, Washington began organizing Cuban exiles to carry out terrorist attacks against the island, and continued to support and tolerate such activities until the 1970s, culminating in what was the hemisphere‟s most lethal act of airline terrorism before 9/11.

    LIBERATION FROM THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY: THE POLITICAL THOUGHT OF THE THIRD WORLD LEFT IN POST-WAR AMERICA A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Benjamin Feldman, M.A. Washington, DC August 6, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Benjamin Feldman All Rights Reserved ii LIBERATION FROM THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY: THE POLITICAL THOUGHT OF THE THIRD WORLD LEFT IN POST-WAR AMERICA Benjamin Feldman, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Michael Kazin, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the full intellectual history of the Third World Turn: when theorists and activists in the United States began to look to liberation movements within the colonized and formerly colonized nations of the ‘Third World’ in search of models for political, social, and cultural transformation. I argue that, understood as a critique of the limits of New Deal liberalism rather than just as an offshoot of New Left radicalism, Third Worldism must be placed at the center of the history of the post-war American Left. Rooting the Third World Turn in the work of theorists active in the 1940s, including the economists Paul Sweezy and Paul Baran, the writer Harold Cruse, and the Detroit organizers James and Grace Lee Boggs, my work moves beyond simple binaries of violence vs. non-violence, revolution vs. reform, and utopianism vs. realism, while throwing the political development of groups like the Black Panthers, the Young Lords, the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, and the Third World Women’s Alliance into sharper relief.

    CUBAN Military Culture 2016 Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy | Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center By Frank O. Mora, Brian Fonseca and Brian Latell The FIU-USSOUTHCOM Academic Partnership Military Culture Series Florida International University’s Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy (FIU-JGI) and FIU’s Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center (FIU-LACC), in collaboration with the United States Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM), formed the FIU-SOUTHCOM Academic Partnership. The partnership entails FIU providing research-based knowledge to further USSOUTHCOM’s understanding of the political, strategic, and cultural dimensions that shape military behavior in Latin America and the Caribbean. This goal is accomplished by employing a military culture approach. This initial phase of military culture consisted of a year-long research program that focused on developing a standard analytical framework to identify and assess the military culture of three countries. FIU facilitated professional presentations of two countries (Cuba and Venezuela) and conducted field research for one country (Honduras). The overarching purpose of the project is two-fold: to generate a rich and dynamic base of knowledge pertaining to political, social, and strategic factors that influence military behavior; and to contribute to USSOUTHCOM’s Socio-Cultural Analysis (SCD) Program. Utilizing the notion of military culture, USSOUTHCOM has commissioned FIU-JGI to conduct country-studies in order to explain how Latin American militaries
