  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

  • Quatuor Coronati Lodge No. 2076
    Quatuor Coronati Lodge No. 2076 The Premier Lodge of Masonic Research Consecrated 12 January 1886 Press Release 7 April 2016 STARTS Tercentenary Conference Celebrating 300 Years of Freemasonry to be held at Queens’ College, Cambridge, England, 9 September – 11 September 2016 Organised by the members of the Quatuor Coronati Lodge No. 2076 June 2017 is an important landmark in the history of Freemasonry as it marks the three hundredth anniversary of the first meeting of the Grand Lodge of London and Westminster; the first Grand lodge in the world. To celebrate this momentous occasion the members of Quatuor Coronati Lodge No. 2076 are hosting a Conference at Queens’ College, Cambridge, from Friday, 9 September 2016 to Sunday 11 September 2016. The lodge was founded by brethren who were intent on using an evidence- based approach to the study of Masonic history and research into Freemasonry. This innovative approach was intended to replace the imaginative writings of earlier authors on the history of Freemasonry. This new style and approach was later to be referred to as the 'authentic school' of Masonic research. The founders planned to develop an interest in research among brethren everywhere, to have papers read and discussed in the lodge and published in its transactions, Ars Quatuor Coronatorum (AQC). The lodge thus hoped to attract the attention and enlist the cooperation of Masonic scholars and lecturers in all parts of the world. Quatuor Coronati Lodge, fondly known as QC Lodge, is the premier lodge of Masonic research and its members continue today to work to the standards laid down all those years ago in striving to maintain the high quality of research papers, lectures and discussion established at the foundation.

Keywords Freemasonry; Hungary; Hungarian Freemasonry; Women freemasons; Gender. Resumen La resistencia a la masonería femenina se está disolviendo lentamente en Hungría. Sólo después de 1990 se establecieron en Hungría logias femeninas y mixtas de origen extranjero. En la histo- ria de la masonería húngara sólo ha habido tres mujeres húngaras iniciadas en el siglo XVIII, dos fueron admitidas en las logias en el siglo XIX. La única organización femenina de tipo masónico en Hungría, la Estrella Oriental, murió poco después de su fundación. A pesar de la falta de tradición, hoy en día podemos hablar de una logia mixta y una logia femenina que funcionan bien. Abstract Resistance to women’s freemasonry is slowly dissolving in Hungary. It was only after the change of regime (1990) that women’s and mixed lodges of foreign origin were established in Hungary. In the history of Hungarian freemasonry there have been only three Hungarian women were initiated in the 18th century, two were admitted to lodges in the 19th century. The only female masonic-like organisation in Hungary, the Eastern Star, died shortly after its foundation. Despite the lack of tradition, today we can speak of a well-functioning mixed and a women’s lodge.
