Queens University of Charlotte in Mission Statement The mission of Spanish Studies Abroad (The Center for Cross-Cultural Study or Spanish Studies Abroad) is to promote in-depth understanding of Spanish-speaking countries for our students, through specifically designed academically rigorous university- level and cultural travel programs. We consider all of our students to be willing to cross cultural boundaries, to live as members of another culture, and to thus learn about others as they learn about themselves. In accordance with our mission, Spanish Studies Abroad promotes equal opportunities within our programs and does not discriminate on the basis of an individual’s race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, age, physical ability, gender, sexual orientation, or other characteristics. We believe in educating students on cultural tolerance and sensitivity, acceptance of differences and inclusiveness. Preparation For Departure We are sure you are excited about your experience abroad, but before you depart, there are a few things you need to take care of. Please read carefully! PASSPORT Your passport must be valid for six months after your return from Cuba. Once you have verified that your passport is valid and in order, make three color photocopies of it. The copies of your passport are important for two reasons: first, as a back-up in case your passport is lost or stolen (keep a copy separate from your passport), and second, as your daily identification. You should keep the passport itself in a secure place, such as the hotel safe, and carry only the photocopy as identification. We recommend that you leave one copy of your passport with your parents or a friend in the U.S. The cost to replace a passport in Cuba is $95 (or 95 CUC): $70 for the application and $25 processing fee. FLIGHT TO HAVANA Travel to Havana is arranged by Marazul Charters, Inc. Additional information regarding the flights will be sent to you shortly. Register with the State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/go/step.html). This will provide you with important information about Cuba and what to do in the event of an emergency. The Resident Director will assist you with any problems, but it is never a bad idea to learn what resources are available overseas. Spanish Studies Abroad’s license authorizes you to travel to and in Cuba for the duration of the academic program you are attending. Travel in Cuba before or after the program is illegal according to U.S. laws. Spanish Studies Abroad does not condone and is not responsible for any student who chooses to travel or stay in Cuba outside the program dates. You MAY NOT travel outside of Cuba during your time in the country. IMPORTANT: When you arrive in Cuba, the immigration officer will stamp your visa with the date of your entry into Cuba. Keep the visa stub with your passport since you will have to present it when leaving the country. PACKING This is the most up-to-date information we have on luggage weight limits: As of 2013 there is no longer a weight limit on accompanied baggage. However, this may or may not be honored by the group flight carrier at this time; you must always read the information accompanying your airline ticket for current updates and changes to regulations relating to baggage and excess fees. Airlines may charge up to $1-$2 per pound for baggage over 44lbs. WHAT TO TAKE: Necessary items: Suggested Items: . Visa issued to you by Cuban Government . Camera, extra memory card . A suitcase with a good lock . Sneakers or running shoes . School backpack . Washcloth, nail brush & clippers . This Student Handbook . Shampoo, cosmetics . All required course readings . An umbrella or rain poncho . A Spanish-English dictionary . Earplugs . Plain paper and notebooks . Flashlight . White out, tape, pens, pencils, highlighter . Bug spray . Battery-powered alarm clock . Snacks (granola or power bars, nuts, etc.) . Casual clothes . A few zip-lock bags . 1-2 dressy or semi-dressy outfits . Pocket Kleenex . Enough underwear for a week . Hand sanitizer . Comfortable walking shoes . Handi-pack toilet paper for public restrooms . Hat, bathing suit, sun screen . Lap-top computer/ printer . 1 beach towel . Water bottle . 2-3 memory sticks (flash drive) . Pictures of family and friends . Medicines, first aid kit, vitamins* . Water filtering pitcher (see info sheet) *If you use a 35mm camera understand that the film for this camera is not available in Cuba. Bring enough for your time in Cuba. Here is a useful website with great advice on packing: http://www.onebag.com/pack.html *Medicines: Take a sufficient supply of any prescription or other medicine you use for your entire stay in Cuba. You should pack a small, personal first-aid kit which includes: medication for upset stomach, diarrhea, headaches; also include rubbing alcohol, Band-Aids, antibiotic ointment, antihistamines, anti-itch medication, sunblock, etc. If you use an inhaler, make sure you take enough with you for the time you will be in Cuba. They are extremely expensive and hard to find. Remember: Over the counter products we take for granted, such as contact lens supplies and tampons, are not generally available in Cuba. Please take such necessary items with you. Favorite brands of personal care items such as deodorant and shampoo are not likely to be available either, although acceptable substitutes can sometimes be found. You should take any items of this type that you cannot do without. You may want to bring along some toilet paper handi packs for when you go out. Courtesy Gifts: Even basic supplies are rationed and always in short supply. You might want to donate pencils to a school or offer soaps to a clinic or family. You will doubtless make Cuban friends or be invited to homes. In such instances, any of the following will always be appreciated: Pocket Spanish-English dictionaries, books in English or Spanish (non-political & non-religiously proselytizing, please), notebooks, pencils and pens, CD’s, mix tapes, over-the-counter medicine, vitamins, toys, fancy soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, baseball caps, T-shirts, sunglasses, reading glasses and used clothing and shoes. What not to take: • Books and pamphlets that preach a political or religious creed, other than for your personal use • More than you will need for your stay in Cuba • Expensive jewelry and other valuable belongings BEFORE YOU ARRIVE IN CUBA Be sure to arrive at the airport several hours early. You will be surprised how quickly lines will form. When you check in to receive your boarding pass, you will be asked to fill out a customs form and a document titled “Anexo 1” which is the Cuban Ministry of Public Health’s “Declaration of Health for Travelers.” It is written in English and Spanish and is straight-forward. Once you present your documents at the desk (ticket, copy of the Spanish Studies Abroad Academic License for Cuba, etc.) you will pay $26 to check in your luggage (maybe more depending on how heavy your suitcase is). Once you have your boarding pass and your check-in luggage stickers, proceed to the gate. Enjoy your flight! ONCE YOU ARRIVE IN CUBA After you get off the plane you will go through Immigration. They will look at your passport and documents and take a picture of you. You will then go through security and go to the carousel to pick up your luggage. Note: sometimes luggage retrieval can be slow and can take up to one-and-one-half hours to pick up your suitcase. Please be patient. You will see that what Cuba offers more than compensates for this minor inconvenience. Sometimes immigration and customs officials will ask you questions such as “Where will you be staying in Havana?” and “How long will you be in Cuba for?” Calmly give them the hotel address which your Program Leader will share with you. Before you leave the airport an official will ask to check your baggage claim receipt. He/she will then compare it with the sticker on your luggage and then let you leave. Medical and Health Information HEALTH INSURANCE Spanish Studies Abroad obtains medical insurance coverage for all students during their stay in Cuba through Asistur. The insurance covers all doctor visits and procedures at a medical clinic designated for international visitors. There is no extra charge for the insurance policy as it is already included in the program fees. You must return your insurance form on time to the Amherst office in order to begin the process to obtain full coverage upon arrival in Havana. If you fail to return your form as requested, coverage will be delayed. Coverage includes 1. Medical expenses for illness and accidents ................................................................................. $25,000 2. Repatriation and transport ........................................................................................................... $25,000 3. Death ............................................................................................................................................ $7,000 4.

NOTE: high-risk activities such as bungee jumping, motorcycle riding, etc. are not covered by the insurance. NOTE: If you decide to return to the United States to receive medical or dental services that are provided in Cuba and are covered by Asistur insurance, you will be responsible for travel to Miami and to your home destination.

    August 2015 America’S Form of Communism by Matthew Vadum

    The Schwarz Report Dr. Fred Schwarz Volume 55, Number 8 Dr. David Noebel August 2015 America’s Form of Communism by Matthew Vadum Though many have declared the Occupy Wall Street movement a failure, it won a major propaganda victory when it forced the phony political issue of “income inequality” into the national political debate, according to one of its leaders in a new article. The article, titled “The Triumph of Occupy Wall Street,” appears at The Atlantic, the home of radical leftists, market participants in the racial grievance industry, and mushy moderates. It was written by radical left-winger Michael Levitin, a co-founder of The Occupied Wall Street Journal, an OWS “affinity group.” (Its website had not been updated in 1,000 days at the time of writing.) The article is a mixture of truth and baldfaced lies that slavishly defends a philosophy of failure and a movement that is based on Marxist lies, as David Horowitz and John Perazzo demonstrated in their pamphlet “Occupy Wall Street: The Communist Movement Reborn.” Despite the various problems with Levitin’s article, he points to an unfortunate side-effect of the short-lived movement: the left has become more bold in its open promotion of communist themes and ideology and is pushing them into main- stream politics like never before. The fairly recent sharpening of rhetoric in which the mythical “one percent” are depicted as the class enemies of everyone else is new in the American experience. Not everyone accepts the frame, but few challenge it, even among conservatives. This national brainwashing through the power of repetition has boosted left-wing causes such as organized labor’s destructive push for a $15 an hour minimum wage.

    OSAC Crime & Safety Report

    Cuba 2019 OSAC Crime & Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Havana. OSAC encourages travelers to use this report to gain baseline knowledge of security conditions in Cuba. For more in-depth information, review OSAC’s country-specific page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Travel Advisory The U.S. Department of State’s Travel Advisory Level for Cuba at the date of this report’s publication remains at Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution. Travelers should exercise increased caution in Cuba due to demonstrable and sometimes debilitating injuries to members of the U.S. diplomatic community resulting in the drawdown of embassy staff. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. In general, restricted internet, the government’s tight control of media, and its sensitivity to any news that reflects poorly on Cuba results in a continued lack of reliable information about Cuban atmospherics. Travel to Cuba for tourist activity remains prohibited by statute. The U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) continues to issue general licenses for twelve (12) categories of travel to Cuba. Individuals who meet the regulatory conditions of the general license they seek to travel under do not need to apply for a specific license from OFAC to travel to Cuba. Please see 31 C.F.R. 515.560 and OFAC’s Frequently Asked Questions. There is a prohibition on direct financial transactions with certain entities in Cuba.

    Free and Unfree Labor in the Building of Roads and Rails in Havana, Cuba, –∗

    IRSH (), pp. – doi:./S © Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis The Path to Sweet Success: Free and Unfree Labor in the Building of Roads and Rails in Havana, Cuba, –∗ E VELYN P. J ENNINGS St. Lawrence University Vilas Hall , Canton, NY ,USA E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Havana’s status as a colonial port shaped both its infrastructure needs and the patterns of labor recruitment and coercion used to build it. The port city’s initial economic and political orientation was maritime, with capital and labor invested largely in defense and shipbuilding. By the nineteenth century, Cuba had become a plantation colony based on African enslavement, exporting increasing quantities of sugar to Europe and North America. Because the island was relatively underpopu- lated, workers for infrastructure projects and plantations had to be imported through global circuits of coerced labor, such as the transatlantic slave trade, the transportation of prisoners, and, in the s, indentured workers from Europe, Mexico, or Asia. Cuban elites and colonial officials in charge of transportation projects experimented with different mixes of workers, who labored on the roads and railways under various degrees of coercion, but always within the socio-economic and cultural framework of a society based on the enslavement of people considered racially distinct. Thus, the indenture of white workers became a crucial supplement to other forms of labor coer- cion in the building of rail lines in the s, but Cuban elites determined that these workers’ whiteness was too great a risk to the racial hierarchy of the Cuban labor market and therefore sought more racially distinct contract workers after .

    Fact Sheet: Supporting the Cuban People's Right to Seek, Receive

    DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Fact Sheet: Supporting the Cuban People’s Right to Seek, Receive, and Impart Information through Safe and Secure Access to the Internet August 11, 2021 Overview The United States stands with the Cuban people in their quest for democracy, human rights, and fundamental freedoms. In July 2021, tens of thousands of Cubans took to the streets to make these demands of their government. In response to these protests, the Cuban regime reacted with violence and repression, including by implementing measures to curb the flow of information over the internet in Cuba.1 These actions continue a decades-long history of oppression by the regime, and a track record of failing to respect the basic universal rights of the Cuban population. The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) administer a comprehensive economic embargo on Cuba, consistent with applicable legislation. While most transactions between persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction and Cuba continue to be prohibited under the embargo, the U.S. government allows for certain activities to support the Cuban people’s access to information on the internet. The relevant OFAC regulations can be found in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. part 515 (CACR), which are available here. The relevant BIS regulations can be found in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), 15 C.F.R. parts 730- 774, which are available here. Accordingly, and in view of recent events, OFAC and BIS are issuing this fact sheet to emphasize the U.S.

    Stolen from the Archive of Dr. Antonio R. de la Cova http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/cuba-books.htm Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba Report to the President May 2004 Colin L. Powell Secretary of State Chairman Stolen from the Archive of Dr. Antonio R. de la Cova http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/cuba-books.htm FOREWORD by Secretary of State Colin L. Powell Over the past two decades, the Western Hemisphere has seen dramatic advances in the institutionalization of democracy and the spread of free market economies. Today, the nations of the Americas are working in close partnership to build a hemisphere based on political and economic freedom where dictators, traffickers and terrorists cannot thrive. As fate would have it, I was in Lima, Peru joining our hemispheric neighbors in the adoption of the Inter-American Democratic Charter when the terrorists struck the United States on September 11, 2001. By adopting the Democratic Charter, the countries of our hemisphere made a powerful statement in support of freedom, humanity and peace. Conspicuous for its absence on that historic occasion was Cuba. Cuba alone among the hemispheric nations did not adopt the Democratic Charter. That is not surprising, for Cuba alone among the nations of Americas is a dictatorship. For over four decades, the regime of Fidel Castro has imposed upon the Cuban people a communist system of government that systematically violates their most fundamental human rights. Just last year, the Castro regime consigned 75 human rights activists, independent librarians and journalists and democracy advocates to an average of nearly 20 years of imprisonment.
