Su capital es La Habana y su lingua oficial el español. Es Cristóbal Colon quien descubrió la Isla de Cuba en 1492. Es la isla mayor de las Antillas y de América central Cuba es una isla cuyo viento sopla y el sol brilla todo el ano pero sus habitantes sufren de los huracanes y del calor de la isla. Como le dice Nicolás Guillén en su poema, Cuba se parece a un largo lagarto verde que navega por el mar de las Antillas. Los paisajes cubanos se componen principalmente de llanuras. - 02 - Histoire Biographie Fidel Castro Fidel Castro était un homme politique cubain, né le 13 aout à Biran (sur l’ile de Cuba) et mort le 26 novembre 2016 à La Havane. Dans les années 1950, Castro s’engage dans des actions politiques, par exemple il devient militant dans le parti du peuple cubain d’Eduardo Chiba. Fidel Castro gouverna la République de Cuba en tant Premier ministre de 1959 à 1976 et comme président de 1976 à 2008. Il fut l'un des principaux dirigeants de la Révolution cubaine qui renversa le régime dictatorial du général Fulgencio Batista.

SIGLOS XV-XXI Autor: Dr. Eduardo Ramón San Marful Orbis1 RESUMEN El tema del poblamiento, la población y su distribución espacial es cada vez más recurrente en las reflexiones de buena parte de los científicos sociales, sobre todo en los estudios de los geógrafos, demógrafos, e incluso historiadores y economistas, pues hay que tener presente que existen nexos sustanciales entre la distribución poblacional en el espacio y las circunstancias históricas, económicas y políticas en los cuales esta se producía. Los procesos demográficos, en gran medida, están condicionados por procesos económicos, pero también influyen sobre los mismos. Ambos procesos desempeñan un papel importante en el poblamiento, es decir en la forma de establecerse o asentarse la población. En Cuba, los estudios puramente geográficos y demográficos no han relacionado todo lo necesario el tema de la población y sus asentamientos con el fenómeno económico más importante de la Isla: la agroindustria azucarera.

Centre for Cultural Policy Research School of Culture and Creative Arts University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8QQ June 2011 © Christine Lohmeier, 2011 Abstract This thesis examines an exile community‘s relation to media. In particular, it focuses on the case of the Cuban-American community and English- as well as Spanish-language media based in Miami, FL. Following the revolution under Fidel Castro in 1959, Miami developed into the capital of the Cuban exile. Over the past decades, the Cuban-American community formed a nucleus which attracted further migration from South America and the Caribbean. The incoming migrants contributed to turning Miami into a flourishing economic urban space.
