  • Cuba: Carnaval Cuban Style
    INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS 535 Fifth Avenue New York, N.Y. 10017 FJM-30: Cuba Havana, Cuba Carnaval Cub an Style July 20, 1971 2. FJM-30 In December 1970, while speaking before an assembly of light industry workers, Fidel told the Cubans that for the second year in a row they would have to cancel Christmas and New Year celebrations. Instead, there would be Carnaval in July. "We'd love to celebrate New Year's Eve, January i and January 2. Naturally. Who doesn't? But can we afford such luxuries now, the way things stand? There is a reality. Do we have traditions? Yes. Very Christian traditions? Yes. Very beautiful traditions? Very poetic traditions? Yes, of course But gentlemen, we don't live in Sweden or Belgium or Holland. We live in the tropics. Our traditions were brought in from Europe--eminently respectable traditions and all that, but still imported. Then comes the reality about this country" ours is a sugar- growing country...and sugar cane is harvested in cool, dry weather. What are the best months for working from the standpoint of climate? From November through May. Those who established the tradition listen if they had set Christmas Eve for July 24, we'd .be more than happy. But they stuck everybody in the world with the same tradition. In this case are we under any obligation? Are the conditions in capitalism the same as ours? Do we have to bow to certain traditions? So I ask myself" even wen we have the machines, can we interrupt our work in the middle of December? [exclamations of "No!"] And one day even the Epiphan festivities will be held in July because actually the day the children of this countr were reborn was the day the Revolution triumphed." So this summer there is carnaval in July" Cuban Christmas, New Years and Mardi Gras all in one.

    RESTLESS THE STORY OF EL ‘CHE’ GUEVARA by ALEX COX & TOD DAVIES first draft 19 jan 1993 © Davies & Cox 1993 2 VALLEGRANDE PROVINCE, BOLIVIA EXT EARLY MORNING 30 JULY 1967 In a deep canyon beside a fast-flowing river, about TWENTY MEN are camped. Bearded, skinny, strained. Most are asleep in attitudes of exhaustion. One, awake, stares in despair at the state of his boots. Pack animals are tethered nearby. MORO, Cuban, thickly bearded, clad in the ubiquitous fatigues, prepares coffee over a smoking fire. "CHE" GUEVARA, Revolutionary Commandant and leader of this expedition, hunches wheezing over his journal - a cherry- coloured, plastic-covered agenda. Unable to sleep, CHE waits for the coffee to relieve his ASTHMA. CHE is bearded, 39 years old. A LIGHT flickers on the far side of the ravine. MORO Shit. A light -- ANGLE ON RAUL A Bolivian, picking up his M-1 rifle. RAUL Who goes there? VOICE Trinidad Detachment -- GUNFIRE BREAKS OUT. RAUL is firing across the river at the light. Incoming bullets whine through the camp. EVERYONE is awake and in a panic. ANGLE ON POMBO CHE's deputy, a tall Black Cuban, helping the weakened CHE aboard a horse. CHE's asthma worsens as the bullets fly. CHE Chino! The supplies! 3 ANGLE ON CHINO Chinese-Peruvian, round-faced and bespectacled, rounding up the frightened mounts. OTHER MEN load the horses with supplies - lashing them insecurely in their haste. It's getting light. SOLDIERS of the Bolivian Army can be seen across the ravine, firing through the trees. POMBO leads CHE's horse away from the gunfire.

ABOUT US As of 1997 StudyTeam Cuba offers Spanish courses in Santiago de Cuba and from 2000 onwards we initialized the same program in Havana. Later in 2002 the same initiative was founded in Trinidad. As a way to make our contribution to Cuban culture stronger, StudyTeam has a joint venture with “Paradiso”, the Agency for Cultural Tourism of the Large Caribbean Island. Our Spanish language program includes mini group intensive classes and individual lessons. All teachers are native, highly educated speakers and have been well trained in language teaching to foreigners. For accommodation, we have carefully selected host families in the best neighbourhoods for an enjoyable stay and a real experience of local lifestyle. Students can combine a Spanish language course with dance or music lessons for a complete immersion in the artistic Cuban culture. Activities and excursions are an important part of the program as well; every week we organize social plans to help students visit the most attractive places in Cuba and enjoy the local events.

Professor John Willis, for assisting me in developing my topic and for showing me the fundamentals of undertaking such a project. My parents, Bruce and Sharon Stokes, for reading and critiquing my writing along the way. My friends and loved-ones, who have offered me their support and continued encouragement in completing my thesis. 2 Contents Abstract 3 Introduction 4 CHAPTER ONE: Martí and the Historical Roots of the Cuban Revolution, 1895-1952 12 CHAPTER TWO: Revolution, Falling Out, and Change in Course, 1952-1959 34 CHAPTER THREE: Consolidating a Martían Communism, 1959-1962 71 Concluding Remarks 88 Bibliography 91 3 Abstract What prompted Fidel Castro to choose a communist path for the Cuban Revolution? There is no way to know for sure what the cause of Castro’s decision to state the Marxist nature of the revolution was. However, we can know the factors that contributed to this ideological shift. This thesis will argue that the decision to radicalize the revolution and develop a relationship with the Cuban communists was the only logical choice available to Castro in order to fulfill Jose Marti’s, Cuba’s nationalist hero, vision of an independent Cuba.

  • RESEÑAS 326 Reseñas
    RESEÑAS 326 Reseñas Alarcón Ramírez, Dariel (“Benigno”). Memorias de un soldado cubano: Vida y muerte de la Revolución. Barcelona: Lumen&Tusquets Editores, 1a. edición en español, 1997, Colección Andanzas; 3a. edición en español, 2004, Colección Fábula. 360 páginas. Título original en francés: Vie et mort de la révolution cubaine. Fernando Cubides Profesor Titular, Departamento de Sociología Universidad Nacional de Colombia, sede Bogotá Sobreviviente. Así de escueta es la definición final que la editora de estas memorias ofrece del personaje que las relata. Parece evocar la manera en que se definía uno de los protagonistas claves de la Revolución Francesa para resumir los méritos de su propia participación: el Abate Sieyès, cuando la misma había terminado su ciclo histórico: “Sobreviví” ( “J’ai véçu”). Y es que, por lo visto, tratándose de revoluciones, haber participado en una de ellas, y haberla sobrevivi- do, es ya un mérito formidable. “Benigno”, el nombre de guerra con el que figura en el diario del Ché en Bolivia; o Dariel Alarcón Ramírez, como figura en el pasaporte francés como asilado político; o Dariel Roselló Ramírez, como debería haberse llamado este hijo de militar español y criolla cubana, si las circunstancias no lo hubiesen separado de sus padres en la primera infancia; es pues, ante todo un sobreviviente. Condición que impresiona más si se tiene en cuenta que al triunfo de la Revolución no inicia un ascenso en cargos de responsabilidad política, pues su analfabetismo sumado a una ingenuidad campesina –guajira– se lo impiden, sino que es asignado a las misiones más difíciles para las que ya fuere Camilo Cienfuegos, o el Ché Guevara, o el propio Fidel, lo consideran especialmente dotado dada sus cualidades de hombre de guerra, probadas desde las primeras acciones en las que toma parte.

    Zheng Shengtian A Missing Story in Havana: A Conversation with Juan Moreira July 8, 2016 Juan Moreira Studio, Havana, Cuba This interview is an extension of my research into exchanges between Latin Left to right: Zheng Shengtian, Marisol Villela, Juan Moreira. America and China during the 1950s and 60s—in particular with Chilean Photo: Don Li-Leger. artist José Venturelli and his influence in mainland China. In the 1960s, Cuban artist Juan Moreira assisted Venturelli in the painting of two large murals in Havana.1 Zheng Shengtian: May I call you Juan? We are of the same generation. 44 Vol. 16 No. 1 Juan Moreira: Yes, of course. Zheng Shengtian: Juan, when I was a young artist in the early 1960s, I was in China, in Beijing, and we learned about the painting Camilo Cienfuegos (1961). Juan Moreira: It is José Venturelli’s mural. Zheng Shengtian: Venturelli lived in Beijing at that time, and he came to Havana and made two murals—Camilo Cienfuegos, in the Medical Retreat (now the Ministry of Health), and another, Sovereignty and Peace, in the Hall of Solidarity at Habana Libre, the former Havana Hilton hotel that was once the headquarters of Fidel Castro. In 1962 Venturelli went back to Beijing and showed his drawings of the mural Camilo Cienfuegos as well as photographs of it. So many artists in China, in Beijing, were very impressed by this mural. In more than half a century, however, no one in China actually has seen the painting, no one has seen the original. But we saw it today, with Chinese artists Zhang Peili and Geng Jianyi who are visiting Havana with me.

  • “Cuba's Revolutionary Armed Forces: How Revolutionary Have They
    “Cuba’s Revolutionary Armed Forces: How Revolutionary Have They Been? How Revolutionary Are They Now?” Hal Klepak Professor Emeritus of Strategy and Latin American History Royal Military College of Canada “El Caribe en su Inserción Internacional” Conference of the Tulane University Center for Inter-American Policy and Research San José, Costa Rica 3-4 January 2009 Introduction This paper will argue that Cuba’s Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias (FAR) have been, and to a great degree still are, ‘revolutionary’ in the contexts of what the armed forces of that country were before 1959, of what Latin American armed forces are and do traditionally, of what those forces normally think about themselves, and of those armed forces in regard to Cuba’s role in international affairs since the Revolution. These four elements will provide the threads for the argument to be made. Thus one will first address what these forces were and how they saw themselves in the years of the revolutionary struggle for power, and the structuring of them after 1959. We will then look at how their roles, structures and ways of seeing themselves changed over the years after their taking of Havana and installing the government of Fidel Castro in power. And finally we will assess their revolutionary credentials since the shattering experience of the Special Period and the subsequent major leadership changes the island has known in recent months. El Ejército Rebelde The army of Fidel Castro’s struggle in the mountains of Cuba’s then easternmost Oriente province, the Ejército Rebelde of now epic memory, takes for the date of its founding the day in November 1956 when the tiny force of 82 men on board the small yacht Granma disembarked to begin the long fight to rid the country of the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista Zaldivar and bring about deep reform of the island’s political, economic and social system.

  • Los Días Del Triunfo
    Los días del triunfo Cuando el Palacio pasó a ser nada atista tomó las de Villadiego cuando la candela lo sacó de su concha de caracol, dejando en una situación embarazosa a B quienes confiaron en él hasta el último momento. Abandonó el Palacio Presidencial pasadas las 2:00 de la tarde del miércoles 31 de diciembre de 1959 para dirigirse a su finca Kuquine y ya jamás volvería a poner un pie en el despacho del se- gundo piso, donde tan jugosos frutos había cosechado de la Silla de doña Pilar. O de la otra que la había sustituido por órdenes expresas suyas. Su mujer e hijos habían salido con rumbo a la Casa Militar del Presidente en Columbia, donde se les unió Batista cuando iban a dar las 12:00 de la noche. Y de allí a la fuga. De modo que al menos durante cinco días el Palacio resultó un edificio tan inútil en su función ejecutiva como pudo serlo cual- quier otro de los alrededores. Era la primera vez que se producía una circunstancia de esa naturaleza desde el 31 de enero de 1920, cuando fue inaugurado con bombos y platillos por Mario García Menocal. Hubo, sí, un intento por ocupar el sillón vacío el 1ro de enero de 1959; pero la cosa no pasó de ahí. Los ideólogos de aquel plan fueron el propio Batista y el general Eulogio Cantillo, quien enca- bezó una junta militar y ordenó ir en busca del magistrado de más antigüedad en la Audiencia, a quien correspondía asumir el cargo por imposibilidad del vicepresidente y el secretario de Estado, ambos dados a la fuga junto a Fulgencio Batista.

  • Tactical Negrificación and White Femininity
    Tactical Negrificación and White Femininity Race, Gender, and Internationalism in Cuba’s Angolan Mission Lorraine Bayard de Volo At the ideological heart of the Cuban Revolution is the commitment to liberation from oppressive systems at home and abroad. From early on, as it supported anti- imperialist struggles, revolutionary Cuba also officially condemned racism and sex- ism. However, the state’s attention to racism and sexism has fluctuated—it has been full-throated at times, silent at others. In considering Cuba’slegacy,thisessayexam- ines gender and race in its international liberatory efforts while also considering the human costs of armed internationalism. Why did women feature prominently in some instances and not others? As a “post-racial” society where “race doesn’t mat- ter,” how are we to understand those occasions in which race officially did matter? I focus on Cuba’s Angola mission (1975–91) to explore the revolution’s uneven attention to gender and race.1 Rather than consistently battling inequities, the state approached gender and racial liberation separately and tactically, as means to military, political, and diplomatic ends. Through negrificación (blackening) of national identity, Cuba highlighted race to internationally legitimize and domesti- cally mobilize support for its Angola mission.2 In contrast, despite their high profile in the Cuban insurrection of the 1950s and 1980s defense, women were a relatively minor theme in the Angolan mission. Several prominent studies note the international factors behind Cuba’s racial politics, but they have a domestic focus, leaving international dynamics relatively Radical History Review Issue 136 (January 2020) DOI 10.1215/01636545-7857243 © 2020 by MARHO: The Radical Historians’ Organization, Inc.
