  • 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.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Case Western Reserve Law Review by an authorized administrator of Case Western Reserve University School of Law Scholarly Commons. TRANSNATIONAL LAW PRACTICE Richard L. Abelt T RANSNATIONAL law practice has grown dramatically in recent years, but scholarship has not kept pace. This Article fills the void in three different, yet related, ways. The first section seeks to explain the patterns of transnational law practice that have emerged in recent decades. The second describes the constraints on transnational practice, especially those imposed by national and supranational regulation. I conclude with proposals about how lawyers, professional organizations, and governments should regulate transnational law practice. Since there is no comprehensive account of the growth of transnational law practice, I have appended one, drawn from a wide variety of sources, including Martindale-Hubbell, the International Financial Law Review, and Business Lawyer,' as well as a dozen interviews with lawyers in t Professor, U.C.L.A. (B.A., 1962, Harvard; LL.B., 1965, Columbia; Ph.D., 1974, London). 1.
