MICHAEL B. SALWEN • I Nic MICHAEL B. SALWEN • I Nic .. ..... iMr a. Cuban radio and television before Fidel Castro's revolution were rich with domestically produced soap operas, live sporting events, lavish song-and-dance programs, and raucous political commentators. Cuba's 156 radio stations and 27 television stations sought the best talent from around the world. They paid large sums for exclusive rights to broadcast baseball games and boxing matches. All of these endeavors were overshadowed by Castro's revolution. Radio and Television in Cuba: The Pre-Castro Era describes broadcasting in Cuba during the 40-year period before the Communist government nationalized all mass media in the early 1960s. Micheal Salwen explores some major themes: the alleged corruption of the broadcast media, the eco- nomic conditions in which the media operated, the political conditions in Cuba and issues related to freedom of the press. He brings together documents and interviews with leading Cuban broadcasters from the pre-Castro era to shed some light on Cuban broadcasting during this significant period. Michael B. Salwen is associate professor, Journalism and Photography Program, School of Commu- nication, University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida. His research has included international mass media and the social effects of mass communication. He is co-author of Latin American Journalism and is the book review editor of World Communication. He has published in Journalism Quarterly, Newspaper Research Journal, Critical Studies in Mass Communica- tion, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, and Gazette. He also has served as head of the International Communication Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication. Revolutionary change in Cuba is inevi- table, and as has been the case in the past, the electronic media will play an integral role in that change. When looking forward in anticipation of dramatic change, it is usually useful to also look back. Know- ing the history of Cuban radio and television is aprerequisite to understanding what contribution the electronic media will make in the island's future. —John Spicer Nichols From the Foreword ALSO BY IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS Mass Communications in the Caribbean John A.

I mould.' i. airgra, Foreword evolutionary change in Cuba is inevi- table, and as has been the case in the past, the electronic media will play an integral role in that change. When looking forward in anticipation of dramatic change, it is usually useful to also look back. Knowing the history of Cuban radio and television is a prerequisite to understanding what contribution the electronic media will make in the island's future. Radio and Television in Cuba: The Pre-Castro Era is the most complete and, by far, the best history in any language of the broadcast media of pre-revolutionary Cuba. Michael B. Salwen has effectively pulled together the scattered writings on the subject and has greatly expanded the knowledge base with contemporary reporting. Of particular importance are Professor Salwen's extensive interviews with the pioneers of Cuban radio and television, many of whom later contributed to the development of the electronic media in other Latin American countries and the United States or played significant roles in the Byzantine world of anti-Castro politics. Collecting oral histories from the first generation of Cuban broadcasters before these valuable primary sources pass on and publishing the fruits of those interviews at atime of fundamental change in Cuba are major contributions to the field of international communications and Cuban studies. At this writing in late 1993, change in Cuba is not only inevitable but, to a large extent, already under way. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba's patron for three decades, the island's economy is in a tailspin and the socialist government of Fidel Castro is in political isolation. In the early 1990s, the national income fell nearly 50 percent. Shortages in food and basic goods have led to significant popular dissatisfaction, alienation and increasing political tension. President Castro's uncompromising rhetoric of "Socialism or Death" notwith- vi viii FOREWORD standing, the country has been rapidly moving toward amixed economy more closely integrated with the Western capitalist system. Some analysts believe that, with these reforms, Castro and Cuban communism might be able to weather this hurricane-force storm but re-emerge badly battered and forever transformed. Others argue that the reforms are too little, too late; that the process probably will turn violent; and that the fall of the Castro regime is imminent.' In either case, Cuba is also on the threshold of radical change in the structure, function and ideology of its print and electronic media. What will this new Cuban media system look like? What role will it play for a transformed Cuban society? The stale, nearly lifeless Leninist model, under which the Cuban media now operate, will almost certainly be rejected. But, by the same token, Cubans are similarly suspicious of the crass U.S. commercial model that preceded it. Therefore, will some new, innovative formula for public communication emerge? Again, understanding the history of the Cuban media is important, perhaps essential, in answering these questions. Salwen details how Cuban entrepreneurs of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s built a technologically modern, advertising-financed, ratings- driven, entertainment-dominated broadcasting system that was largely modeled after that of the United States. With financial programming and logistical support from U.S. networks and advertisers, these Cuban businessmen became wealthy by airing game shows, soap operas and sports to a nation mired in poverty and inequality. Salwen further describes the ham-handed political control of radio and television by the Cuban government and occasionally by the U.S. government. The Cuban Revolution was, in significant part, a nationalistic movement to free the country from the economic and political control of the United States and Cuban oligarchy. Castro, who had successfully used clandestine radio in his guerrilla campaign to overthrow the Batista dictatorship in Cuba, viewed the broadcast media as precious resources for fostering revolution. 2 As Salwen describes in Chapters 9, 10 and 11, all media were under official control within two years after Castro assumed the leadership of Cuba in 1959. The most obvious purpose of government and party control of the media was to eliminate open opposition to the revolution. Castro saw little value in leaving the media in the hands of private owners who undoubtedly would use them to block revolutionary change. However, more important in Castro's view, central control of the media allowed the government to use them to achieve the major revolutionary goals of mass integration, education and mobilization. "If we want to overcome the gap which separates us from the developed world," he said, "... our FOREWORD ix resources [must be] used in a rational, organized way. There is no room for waste. We don't have the luxury of following the path of free competition to achieve economic development." 3 Castro believed that Cuban media resources, which were relatively well developed under private ownership during the pre-revolutionary period, must be used as a government tool for national development. Of particular interest to Castro was the media's potential for fighting widespread illiteracy in Cuba. In the 1950s, at least 24 percent of all Cubans and 42 percent of those living in the grinding poverty of the countryside could neither read nor write a simple declarative sentence.

The main Soviet installation and the site of Soviet military GHQ is at La Gobernadora hills, near the country's principal naval base of Marie!. Five large tunnels have been constructed in the La Gobernadora area. They are 105 ft. wide -- permitting two - way traffic -- and have reinforced ceilings 30 ft . high. Two of the tunnels penetrate La Gobernadora hills laterally for a distance of 6 miles , according to a Rebel Army lieutenant who personally toured the tunnels during their construction and has defected. Guided missiles are secreted in the tunnels, according to reports from the mili­ tary arm of the Cuban resistance movement. Other sources inside Cuba say that at least one tunnel has been air-conditioned for the storage of nuclear warheads, and that another has been equipped with refrigerating equipment for storing liquid oxygen used for ballis ­ tic missiles. Electrical systems have been installed at the nearby base of Meseta de Anafe, add the latter sources, and are connected with the guided-missile stations at La Gober­ nadora and the Havana military 11 horseshoe 11 {see ''Military 1Horseshoe 1 Around Havana, 11 FCN No.

    Hipertexto 11 Invierno 2010 pp. 103-116 Che Guevara, Nostalgia, Photography, Felt History and Narrative Discourse in Ana Menéndez’s Loving Che Robert L. Sims Virginia Commonwealth University Hipertexto At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality. Che Guevara More and more I've come to understand that when we mourn what a place used to be, we are also mourning what we used to be. Ana Menéndez any of the discussions and debates of the Cuban Revolution in Miami, M Havana and elsewhere converge, merge and diverge in the person and persona of Che Guevara. This process produces a mesmerizing mixture of myth, reality, and nonsense which we are far from unscrambling: “There's just this fascination people have with the man - which is not of the man, but of the photograph," says Ana Menéndez, author of ‘Loving Che’” (http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0305/p13s02-algn.html). The photograph in question is Alberto Korda’s famous picture of Che Guevara taken on March 5, 1960 at a Cuban funeral service for victims of the La Coubre explosion. The photographic reality of Che soon transformed itself into an iconic image which traveled around the world. Che’s image has since undergone myriad changes and has become a pop culture, fashionista icon and capitalist commodity marketed and sold all over the world, including Cuba. Nostalgia and memory occupy the interstitial space between Che Guevara’s personal and revolutionary life and his now simulacralized iconicity: “Part of Guevara's appeal is that his revolutionary ideals no longer pose much of a threat in the post-cold-war world.

  • Cuban Leadership Overview, Apr 2009
    16 April 2009 OpenȱSourceȱCenter Report Cuban Leadership Overview, Apr 2009 Raul Castro has overhauled the leadership of top government bodies, especially those dealing with the economy, since he formally succeeded his brother Fidel as president of the Councils of State and Ministers on 24 February 2008. Since then, almost all of the Council of Ministers vice presidents have been replaced, and more than half of all current ministers have been appointed. The changes have been relatively low-key, but the recent ousting of two prominent figures generated a rare public acknowledgement of official misconduct. Fidel Castro retains the position of Communist Party first secretary, and the party leadership has undergone less turnover. This may change, however, as the Sixth Party Congress is scheduled to be held at the end of this year. Cuba's top military leadership also has experienced significant turnover since Raul -- the former defense minister -- became president. Names and photos of key officials are provided in the graphic below; the accompanying text gives details of the changes since February 2008 and current listings of government and party officeholders.
