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.

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.

  • Vasco Tristão Leitão Da Cunha, Fidel Castro (And His Sister), and Brazilian-Cuban
    UNCORRECTED DRAFT—4/11/14 A "Friend of the Revolution" or a “Traitor”? Vasco Tristão Leitão da Cunha, Fidel Castro (and his Sister), and Brazilian-Cuban Relations, 1956-1964 By James G. Hershberg Professor of History and International Affairs George Washington University ([email protected]) Presented to the Panel, “New Perspectives on Latin America’s Cold War” International Studies Association/Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (ISA/FLACSO) Conference, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 23 July 2014 1 This presentation draws on my ongoing book project on the US-Cuban-Brazilian triangular relationship (or quadrangular, if one adds their relations with what was quaintly still known as the “Sino-Soviet bloc”) at the height of the Cold War, in the early 1960s, a span encompassing such tumultuous events as the Cuban Revolution, the Bay of Pigs affair, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. My inquiry originated in, and spun off from, my longstanding in the international history of the October 1962 missile crisis, when in the late 1990s I first noticed (in a translated Soviet document) that at the height of the missile crisis, Brazil was involved in a secret mediation effort between US President John F. Kennedy and Cuban leader Fidel Castro. That Soviet document described a meeting between Castro and a special emissary sent by Brazil’s president, João Goulart, just after the crisis climaxed, relaying what in fact was a laundered U.S. proposal (although Castro didn’t realize that). On searching for background in the relevant literature—to use in annotating the document for the Cold War International History Project Bulletin, which I then edited—I discovered that none existed.
