It challenges the notion of a “great divide” between Republic and Revolution by tracing contentious interactions between technocrats, politicians, and financial elites on one hand, and mobilized, mostly-Afro-descended tenants and shantytown residents on the other hand. The dynamics of housing inequality in Havana not only reflected existing socio- racial hierarchies but also produced and reconfigured them in ways that have not been systematically researched.

  • CATALOGUE of the GRASSES of CUBA by A. S. Hitchcock
    CATALOGUE OF THE GRASSES OF CUBA By A. S. Hitchcock. INTRODUCTION. The following list of Cuban grasses is based primarily upon the collections at the Estaci6n Central Agron6mica de Cuba, situated at Santiago de las Vegas, a suburb of Habana. The herbarium includes the collections made by the members of the staff, particularly Mr. C. F. Baker, formerly head of the department of botany, and also the Sauvalle Herbarium deposited by the Habana Academy of Sciences, These specimens were examined by the writer during a short stay upon the island in the spring of 1906, and were later kindly loaned by the station authorities for a more critical study at Washington. The Sauvalle Herbarium contains a fairly complete set of the grasses col- lected by Charles Wright, the most important collection thus far obtained from Cuba. In addition to the collections at the Cuba Experiment Station, the National Herbarium furnished important material for study, including collections made by A. H. Curtiss, W. Palmer and J. H. Riley, A. Taylor (from the Isle of Pines), S. M. Tracy, Brother Leon (De la Salle College, Habana), and the writer. The earlier collections of Wright were sent to Grisebach for study. These were reported upon by Grisebach in his work entitled "Cata- logus Plant arum Cubensium," published in 1866, though preliminary reports appeared earlier in the two parts of Plantae Wrightianae. * During the spring of 1907 I had the opportunity of examining the grasses in the herbarium of Grisebach in Gottingen.6 In the present article I have, with few exceptions, accounted for the grasses listed by Grisebach in his catalogue of Cuban plants, and have appended a list of these with references to the pages in the body of this article upon which the species are considered.

  • Texto Y Fotos: José Quesada Pantoja Revista SENDAS Núm. 65 (CUBA
    Texto y fotos: José Quesada Pantoja Revista SENDAS núm. 65 (CUBA) Ciudad de La Habana requería, desde hace un buen número de años, la reparación general de sus principales calles y avenidas, vías fundamentales para el tránsito en la capital. Actualmente, el Centro Provincial de Vialidad (CPV) en conjunto con el Grupo Gestor de Redes Técnicas del Poder Popular, se encuentran en una importante fase de importantes trabajos que incluyen el rebacheo y la repavimentación, labor para que se utilizan técnicas modernas, incluyendo la única fresadora de calles que existe en el país. Entre las vías ya reparadas se encuentran, la Avenida Tercera y las calles 42 y 70, en Playa; las avenidas del Puerto y de Rancho Boyeros; las calles Línea y 23, en el Vedado y 114 en Marianao. También han recibido la merecida reparación Santiago de las Vegas y Novia del Mediodía. Un factor importante para la eficiente vialidad lo conforman las señales horizontales, de las cuales han sido pintadas o repintandas las de Malecón, calle G, el acceso a la Universidad de Ciencias Informáticas (UCI) y la 5ta. Avenida. En esta última se ha instalado un nuevo sistema de semáforos modernos de tecnología china, equipos que progresivamente se instalarán en toda la capital y en otras ciudades del país. Para esta importante tarea, las entidades responsables han recibido el apoyo de dos empresas de provincia Habana, la ECOAI del Este y la del Oeste. Nuestra ciudad, la capital del país, se está reanimando, no solo desde el punto de vista vial, sino también en el aspecto urbanístico: se siembran árboles, se pintan las fachadas de las casas, se reparan salideros de agua, labores en las cuales han participado importantes colectivos laborales de ETECSA, Aguas de La Habana, la Empresa Eléctrica, y otras entidades provinciales que también han colaborado en este empeño.

  • Ingenios De Santiago De Las Vegas. Siglos Xviii Y Xix
    INGENIOS DE SANTIAGO DE LAS VEGAS. SIGLOS XVIII Y XIX. Ivette Villaescusa Padrón Instituto de Historia de Cuba Santiago de las Vegas, perteneciente en la actualidad al municipio de Boyeros, en Ciudad de La Habana, tuvo su primer asentamiento poblacional en la segunda mitad del siglo XVII, con un grupo de inmigrantes de Islas Canarias que – como en otros sitios del país donde se establecieron_ se dedicaron al cultivo del tabaco1, planta que dio origen a la comarca y a su desarrollo; pues devino ésta una de las zonas tabacaleras más importantes de Cuba. Santiago quedó registrado oficialmente en 1749, con la constitución de su Primer Cabildo.2 Desde 1780 Wajay estaba sujeto a su Tenencia de Gobierno;3 luego se le añadieron Calabazar, fundado en 1830 con el nombre de Santa Cristina de la Nueva Palmira; El Rincón, con posterioridad a 1837 cuando al inaugurar el primer tramo de ferrocarril de Cuba, acondicionaron allí un andén y empezaron a levantarse casas; y Rancho Boyeros reconocido en 1840, en el caserío donde paraban los carreteros y boyeros para pagar el peaje en una Casa de la Real Hacienda, a la que llamaban el Rancho de los boyeros. Aunque las vegas primero, y las manufacturas de tabaco después, resultaron las que más contribuyeron a la notoriedad de la zona, los ingenios que existieron en ese espacio influyeron también en su bienestar, ya que caña, café y tabaco, cultivos base de la economía colonial de la mayor de las Antillas, lo fueron igualmente de los predios en cuestión. La información disponible sobre los ingenios en el área de estudio, es insuficiente y dispersa.
