Halbertbrooks Full Dissertation with Revisions Asked for 10-3-17 AN ARMY OF TEACHERS: CUBAN WOMEN IN POLITICAL EDUCATION, FROM THE LITERACY CAMPAIGN TO YO SI PUEDO Ann E. Halbert-Brooks 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 2017 Approved by: Louis A. Pérez, Jr. John Chasteen John French Miguel LaSerna Cynthia Radding Ó 2017 Ann E. Halbert-Brooks ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ann E. Halbert-Brooks: An Army of Teachers: Cuban Women in Political Education, from the Literacy Campaign to Yo Sí Puedo (Under the direction of Louis A. Pérez, Jr.) My dissertation examines the role of women in the Cuban Revolution through the lens of the 1961 Literacy Campaign. Using archival sources, print media, oral histories, and other primary source accounts, I argue that the Campaign was a key formative period for the nascent revolutionary state and for the 250,000 teachers who worked in it. Beginning in the guerrilla insurgency of the 1950s, the 26th of July Movement invested in education and described political education as a central component of its proposed changes to Cuban society. After 1959, this institutional emphasis on education facilitated the political mobilization of women and the creation of mass organizations like the Comités de Defensa de la Revolución and the Federación de Mujeres Cubanas. Individual women engaged critically with propaganda for the Literacy Campaign, volunteering to teach with the expectation that their professional horizons would be expanded through their work. In the decades that followed, their work also influenced their relationship with the revolutionary project. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without the generous support of many individuals and institutions. My research was supported by funding from the Phi Alpha Theta Doctoral Scholarship, the Cuban Heritage Collection’s Graduate Research Fellowship, the Doris G. Quinn Completion Fellowship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the UNC Institute for the Study of the Americas’ Mellon Dissertation Fellowship, Tinker Field Research Travel Grant, and Americas Fellowships. Belkis Quesada Guerra of the Instituto de Historia de Cuba and Shelley Clark of the Institute for the Study of the Americas also provided invaluable assistance in traveling to Cuba to conduct research. I am also grateful to Luisa Campos Gallardo of the Museo Nacional de la Campaña de Alfabetización who welcomed me to Cuba on my first research trip in 2012, and Catherine Murphy, who opened her archive of interviews about the Literacy Campaign to me. I am also indebted to all of my colleagues who read and commented on early drafts of this dissertation, especially my advisor Louis A. Pérez, my committee members Miguel LaSerna, Cynthia Radding, John French, and John Chasteen, and my writing group: Angélica Castillo, Dan Giblin, Shannon James, Hannah Palmer, Alex Ruble, Ian Toller-Clark, and Mishio Yamanaka. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ....................................................................................................................... viii LIST

In Cuba, for example, he took the official 1899 census figure of 43 percent and argued that it was an under-count, with the true literacy rate closer to 46 percent. By 1950, he found that census data more accurately reflected the demographics of each country. ......................5 Table 2: The population of Cuba by province, ca. 1953.

It challenges the notion of a “great divide” between Republic and Revolution by tracing contentious interactions between technocrats, politicians, and financial elites on one hand, and mobilized, mostly-Afro-descended tenants and shantytown residents on the other hand. The dynamics of housing inequality in Havana not only reflected existing socio- racial hierarchies but also produced and reconfigured them in ways that have not been systematically researched.

  • Overview Print Page Close Window
    World Directory of Minorities Americas MRG Directory –> Cuba –> Cuba Overview Print Page Close Window Cuba Overview Environment Peoples History Governance Current state of minorities and indigenous peoples Environment Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean. It is located 150 kilometres south of the tip of the US state of Florida and east of the Yucatán Peninsula. On the east, Cuba is separated by the Windward Passage from Hispaniola, the island shared by Haiti and Dominican Republic. The total land area is 114,524 sq km, which includes the Isla de la Juventud (formerly called Isle of Pines) and other small adjacent islands. Peoples Main languages: Spanish Main religions: Christianity (Roman Catholic, Protestant), syncretic African religions The majority of the population of Cuba is 51% mulatto (mixed white and black), 37% white, 11% black and 1% Chinese (CIA, 2001). However, according to the Official 2002 Cuba Census, 65% of the population is white, 10% black and 25% mulatto. Although there are no distinct indigenous communities still in existence, some mixed but recognizably indigenous Ciboney-Taino-Arawak-descended populations are still considered to have survived in parts of rural Cuba. Furthermore the indigenous element is still in evidence, interwoven as part of the overall population's cultural and genetic heritage. There is no expatriate immigrant population. More than 75 per cent of the population is classified as urban. The revolutionary government, installed in 1959, has generally destroyed the rigid social stratification inherited from Spanish colonial rule. During Spanish colonial rule (and later under US influence) Cuba was a major sugar-producing territory.

    Travel Weekly Secaucus, New Jersey 29 October 2019 Latest Cuba restrictions force tour operators to adjust By Robert Silk A tour group in Havana. Photo Credit: Action Sports/Shutterstock The Trump administrations decision to ban commercial flights from the U.S. to Cub an destinations other than Havana could cause complications for tour operators. However, where needed, operators will have the option to use charter flights as an alternative. The latest restrictions, which take effect during the second week of December, will put an end to daily American Airlines flights from Miami to the Cuban cities of Camaguey, Hoguin, Santa Clara, Santiago and Varadero. JetBlue will end flights from Fort Lauderdale to Camaguey, Holguin and Santa Clara. In a letter requesting the Department of Transportation to issue the new rules, secretary of state Mike Pompeo wrote that the purpose of restrictions is to strengthen the economic consequences of the Cuban governments "ongoing repression of the Cuban people and its support for Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela." The restrictions dont directly affect all Cuba tour operators. For example, Cuba Candela flies its clients in and out of Havana only, said CEO Chad Olin. But the new rules will force sister tour operators InsightCuba and Friendly Planet to make adjustments, said InsightCuba president Tom Popper. In the past few months, he explained, Friendly Planet’s "Captivating Cuba" tour and InsightCubas "Classic Cuba" tour began departing Cuba from the north central city of Santa Clara. Now those itineraries will go back to using departure flights from Havana. As a result, guests will leave Cienfuegos on the last day of the tour to head back to Havana for the return flight.

Estudio de caso en el municipio Contramaestre Alexander Gorina Sánchez∗ María Eulalia Martín Rivero** Isabel Alonso Berenguer*** Nelvis Gorina Sánchez**** Resumen La aplicación del enfoque de desarrollo local sostenible en Cuba se ajusta a la visión de desarrollo del Estado-nación. Sin embargo, no ha estado exenta de incomprensiones y contradicciones que limitan los resultados esperados. El objetivo fue discernir los principales retos del desarrollo local en Cuba y diagnosticar su estado actual en el municipio Contramaestre, provincia Santiago de Cuba. La investigación realizada fue exploratoria, predominantemente cualitativa. Se concluyó que existe necesidad de aplicar este enfoque desde una descentralización- centralizada, creando las condiciones objetivas y subjetivas para disminuir las brechas existentes entre su concepción teórico-metodológica y su concreción práctica. Palabras clave: desarrollo local, sostenibilidad, descentralización, recursos endógenos, enfoque de desarrollo local. Challenges of local development in Cuba. Study case in municipality Contramaestre Abstract The application of the sustainable local development approach in Cuba is in line with the development vision of the nation-state. However, it has not been exempt from misunderstandings and contradictions that limit the expected results. The objective was to discern the main challenges of local development in Cuba and to diagnose its current status in the Contramaestre municipality, Santiago de Cuba province. The research carried out was exploratory, predominantly qualitative. It was concluded that there is a need to apply this approach from a centralized decentralization, creating the objective and subjective conditions to reduce the existing gaps between its theoretical- methodological conception and its practical concretion.

In the 1960s and 1970s, minors from Indochina were resettled in the United States. In the 1970s, the U.S accepted 14,000 unaccompanied minors from Cuba through Operation Peter Pan. Many of these Cuban minors, aged five to eighteen, were sent to the United States by parents fearing their children would be indoctrinated in communist schools. In the case of these minors, they arrived in the United States with the consent of their still-living family members. In contrast, about 3,500 Sudanese Lost Boys were resettled in the United States in 2000, and more recently in 2010, 53 “lost children” from Haiti were brought to the United States following a devastating earthquake. This study investigated the integration and assimilation patterns of the Sudanese Lost Boys in the Kansas City area with the purpose of understanding the sociological impact on these Boys from their own perspective. As opposed to previous studies done on these Boys in Kansas and other areas in the United States, the present study used interview-based research and analyzed data using both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.
