  • 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.

Abstract The problem facing the Cuban Revolution after 1959 was how to increase productive capacity and labour productivity, in conditions of underdevelopment and in transition to socialism, without relying on capitalist mechanisms that would undermine the formation of new consciousness and social relations integral to communism. Locating Guevara’s economic analysis at the heart of the research, the thesis examines policies and development strategies formulated to meet this challenge, thereby refuting the mainstream view that his emphasis on consciousness was idealist. Rather, it was intrinsic and instrumental to the economic philosophy and strategy for social change advocated.

  • Uneasy Intimacies: Race, Family, and Property in Santiago De Cuba, 1803-1868 by Adriana Chira
    Uneasy Intimacies: Race, Family, and Property in Santiago de Cuba, 1803-1868 by Adriana Chira A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology and History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Jesse E. Hoffnung-Garskof, Co-Chair Professor Rebecca J. Scott, Co-Chair Associate Professor Paulina L. Alberto Professor Emerita Gillian Feeley-Harnik Professor Jean M. Hébrard, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales Professor Martha Jones To Paul ii Acknowledgments One of the great joys and privileges of being a historian is that researching and writing take us through many worlds, past and present, to which we become bound—ethically, intellectually, emotionally. Unfortunately, the acknowledgments section can be just a modest snippet of yearlong experiences and life-long commitments. Archivists and historians in Cuba and Spain offered extremely generous support at a time of severe economic challenges. In Havana, at the National Archive, I was privileged to get to meet and learn from Julio Vargas, Niurbis Ferrer, Jorge Macle, Silvio Facenda, Lindia Vera, and Berta Yaque. In Santiago, my research would not have been possible without the kindness, work, and enthusiasm of Maty Almaguer, Ana Maria Limonta, Yanet Pera Numa, María Antonia Reinoso, and Alfredo Sánchez. The directors of the two Cuban archives, Martha Ferriol, Milagros Villalón, and Zelma Corona, always welcomed me warmly and allowed me to begin my research promptly. My work on Cuba could have never started without my doctoral committee’s support. Rebecca Scott’s tireless commitment to graduate education nourished me every step of the way even when my self-doubts felt crippling.

While in Havana, he wrote columns about his observations of the war. His descriptions of Spanish atrocities aroused American sympathy for Cubans. A PERSONAL VOICE JAMES CREELMAN “ No man’s life, no man’s property is safe [in Cuba]. American citizens are imprisoned or slain without cause. American prop- erty is destroyed on all sides. Wounded soldiers can be found begging in the streets of Havana. The horrors of a barbarous struggle for the extermination of the native popula- tion are witnessed in all parts of the country. Blood on the roadsides, blood in the fields, blood on the doorsteps, blood, blood, blood! . Is there no nation wise enough, brave enough to aid this blood-smitten land?” —New York World, May 17, 1896 Newspapers during that period often exaggerated stories like Creelman’s to boost their sales as well as to provoke American intervention in Cuba.

  • Yachtcharter - Cuba
    VPM Yachtcharter - Cuba Yacht - charter Cuba Cuba is built on myths and metaphors. In the 50’s Cuba was the Monte Carlo of the Caribbean where stars like Errol Flynn or authors like Hemmingway sipped their rum cocktail. Then in the 60’s came the radical revolution and it was followed by the regime of Castro during the last three decades. These are only little episodes in the long history of the Cuban people. Columbus was the first european to discover the island in 1492 and he described it in the following way: "The exceptional beauty beats everything with its magic and grace just as the day surpasses the night with its brilliance." There are thus good reasons for Cuba’s reputation as the pearl of the Antilles. Cuba is located at the entry of the Gulf of Mexico and just below the Northern Tropic. To the west of Cuba lies the Yucatan Peninsula, to the east there is Haiti, to the south there lies Jamaica and to the north at a distance of around 80 nautical miles you will find Florida. 4195 smaller islands and sandbanks are part of the archipelago. Every sailor can trust the north-eastern trade winds. 10 to 25 knots are the norm. There is besides that something noteworthy about Cuba. It has the lowest rate of hurricane appearances in the Antilles. The waters around Cuba Due to the geographical size of Cuba you have to decide in which waters you want to sail. At your disposal are Varadero, which is appealing with its good international flight connections, comfortable hotels and what are probably the island’s most beautiful beaches or Cayo Largo, the Caribbean alternative on the fresher Atlantic coast or even La Habana where you can find one of the world’s most beautiful diving paradises.

  • Unmapping Knowledge: Connecting Histories About Haitians in Cuba
    OLÍVIA MARIA GOMES DA CUNHA Unmapping knowledge: connecting histories about Haitians in Cuba This article is an exercise in comparing narratives that depict the ‘presence’ of Haitians in Cuba. It focuses on the creative forms through which groups of residentes and descendientes, formally designated asociaciones, are experimenting with new modes of creating relationships with kin, histories, places and times. Rather than emerging exclusively from the memories of past experiences of immigration and the belonging to ‘communities’, these actors seem to emphasise that histories apparently associating them with certain bounded existential territories can in fact be created and recreated in multiple forms, mediated by diverse objects and events, and apprehended through a critical perspective, albeit one subject to personal interpretations. Key words ethnography, history, Cuba, knowledge, migration Introduction In an old building in downtown Havana, around the end of 2004, a group of about ten people gather every week to rehearse presentations of Creole songs and dances. This small collective formed part of a larger group called Dessaline, whose members are children and grandchildren of Haitian immigrants. During one of their rehearsals, Felicia told me how a friend’scravingfora dish of Haitian origin had put her in contact with countless paisanos (‘fellow countrymen’) living in Havana. Far from the Cuban capital, on the outskirts of the city of Villa Morena, a group of pensioners would also meet regularly to hear and discuss Haitian history. Every month, and on special commemorative dates, an asociación (‘association’) called Los Hatianos (hereafter LH) organised meetings of local residentes (as those born in Haiti are called) and descendientes (chil- dren of Haitians born in Cuba).
