  • Cuban Leadership Overview, Apr 2009
    16 April 2009 OpenȱSourceȱCenter Report Cuban Leadership Overview, Apr 2009 Raul Castro has overhauled the leadership of top government bodies, especially those dealing with the economy, since he formally succeeded his brother Fidel as president of the Councils of State and Ministers on 24 February 2008. Since then, almost all of the Council of Ministers vice presidents have been replaced, and more than half of all current ministers have been appointed. The changes have been relatively low-key, but the recent ousting of two prominent figures generated a rare public acknowledgement of official misconduct. Fidel Castro retains the position of Communist Party first secretary, and the party leadership has undergone less turnover. This may change, however, as the Sixth Party Congress is scheduled to be held at the end of this year. Cuba's top military leadership also has experienced significant turnover since Raul -- the former defense minister -- became president. Names and photos of key officials are provided in the graphic below; the accompanying text gives details of the changes since February 2008 and current listings of government and party officeholders.

A través del análisis de algunos documentos primarios se identifica el proceso de lucha entre los opositores conciliadores y los radicales ante la dictadura de Batista para obtener el apoyo del estudiantado cubano. Entre los radicales se ubicaron dos corrientes agrupadas en torno a Fidel Castro y José Antonio Echeverría; en la medida en que avanzó la lucha revolucionaria, la cor- riente propiamente estudiantil de Echeverría disminuyó su autonomía y terminó subordinándose política y militarmente a la dirección revolucionaria del Movimiento 26 de Julio.

Dangel Alexeis García-González, Profesor Instructor, University of Granma, [email protected], Cuba. INTRODUCTION The twentieth century and the passing of the new millennium confirm, dramatically, the need to reflect on how to build the Socialist Revolution from concrete potentialities, limitations, dangers and constraints, which are diverse but also common. This issue calls for the unprejudiced, honest and objective examination of the mistakes made in failed experiments and in the existing "socialist" models. In this context, the social sciences acquire a special significance, since they can offer answers through the examination of reality, and their perspectives, that allow to warn, to avoid or to solve errors that could hinder or make impossible the construction of the new society. The accumulated results indicate that to make socialism we cannot act and much think as we have done so far. The historical-social, theoretical-practical referents are not found in the collapsed experiments of Eastern Europe, nor in the former "real" Soviet socialism; nor on the roads that have survived. Moreover, the transformations that are now carried out in the current socialisms generate doubts, ruptures, resistances, incongruities, contradictions and questions still to be cleared. Examining errors becomes a vital condition for building the Socialist Revolution.

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.

Hahn, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2016 News on Film: Cinematic Historiography in Cuba and Brazil Cory A. Hahn, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2015 Supervisor: Cesar Salgado, Charles Ramirez-Berg This dissertation is a comparative project that traces the co-evolution of film realism and communications media in Cuba and Brazil. Beginning with the end of Italian Neorealist-inspired movements in both countries in the late 1950s, I examine the ways in which filmmakers from each tradition incorporate radio, print, and televisual journalism into their cinematic narratives. Foundational directors whose bodies of work span and connect the popular filmmaking booms of the 1960s and 1990s—such as Santiago Álvarez, Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, Nelson Pereira dos Santos and Eduardo Coutinho— expose the political and technological systems that form public knowledge and guide civic debate. My research dilates on two internationally celebrated periods of film production concurrent with two shifts in news media paradigms: from radio and print journalism to television and from television to the internet.

  • Che Guevara and the Cuban Revolution
    Western Oregon University Digital Commons@WOU Student Theses, Papers and Projects (History) Department of History 3-1-2013 Che Guevara and the Cuban Revolution Timothy Husselbee Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.wou.edu/his Part of the Latin American History Commons, Military History Commons, and the Political History Commons T Timothy Husselbee Professor John Rector History 454 1 March 2013 Che Guevara and the Cuban Revolution When the topic of ideological revolutions is discussed, many of the same individuals are brought up time and time again. We have Lenin and Trotsky with the Bolsheviks, Mao Zedong in China, and Fidel Castro and Che Guevara in Cuba. What is so fascinating about Castro and Guevara is how they were able to accomplish their revolutionary goals while the United States had such a large presence in Cuba. If someone was to tell anyone at the time that a force of 800 guerillas would defeat a U.S. back government, they would laugh in your face. But unfortunately for the United States, this in fact did happen. The main focus of this paper will be on Che Guevara and his role in the revolution. Why I chose Guevara as the topic of this paper is simple: he fought for a cause that was not originally his own because he felt it was the right and just thing to do. This is very admirable to me. In this paper I will focus on three important issues; how Guevara became a part of Castro's revolution, the role he played within the revolution, and his role in the government after the success of the revolution.

  • United Nations Office of the Resident Coordinator in Cuba
    United Nations Office of the Resident Coordinator in Cuba From: Office of the Resident Coordinator - Cuba Item: Situation Report No. 1 “Intense Rains in the Eastern Part of the Country” – November 20, 2008, 16:00. Situation: As a result of the fourth cold front of the winter Season, which passed over the Eastern region of Cuba from the 17th to the 20th of November 2008, torrential rains fell on the region which caused severe flooding in the areas of Holguin and Granma provinces. As a result of the rains, which in the mountainous zones of Holguin and Sagua-Nipe-Baracoa Plateau reached precipitation levels of 600 millimeters, thousands of hectares of crops have been flooded and Civil Defense needed to evacuate thousands of people in the provinces of Holguin and Granma. All of the evacuees were attended to by local authorities. Dams in the region are at full capacity and some rivers have spilled their banks, interrupting road service, as was the case of the Sagua River, in Holguin province, and the Buey, Hicotea and Yara rivers in Granma. This situation adds to the very serious damage caused by the three hurricanes and two tropical storms that affected Cuba in the summer of 2008: the tropical storms Fay and Hanna and the hurricanes Gustav, Ike, and Paloma. According to official information, these hurricanes have caused damage to Cuba of around 10 billions dollars. In their weather forecast for Thursday, November 20, the Cuban Institute of Meteorology expected a decrease of the winter rains in all of the country, including the affected zones.
