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.

Since necessary data in Cuba is rare or nonexistent, water- quality standards, pollutant data, and stormwater management data from the state of Florida were used, an approach justified by the highly correlated meteorological patterns between South Florida and Havana. A GIS platform was used to delineate the watershed and sub-watersheds and breakdown the watershed into urban and non-urban land uses. The UM model provides a relative assessment of which river junctions were most likely to exceed water-quality standards, and can model water-quality improvements upon application of appropriate remediation strategies. The pollutants considered were TN, TP, BOD5, fecal coliform, Pb, Cu, Zn, and Cd.

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.

  • The 1980 Canimar River Massacre: Dozens Killed for Attempting to Flee Cuba

    The 1980 Canimar River Massacre: Dozens Killed for Attempting to Flee Cuba

    The 1980 Canimar River Massacre: dozens killed for attempting to flee Cuba Update of August 25, 2019 In 1980, a tourist excursion service was inaugurated using the XX Aniversario, a large boat with two decks of chairs and capacity for around one hundred passengers. It was to navigate for around five miles inland along the scenic Canimar river, that flows into Matanzas Bay, near Varadero beach. Leaving Cuba was almost impossible for average Cubans; since the revolution came to power two decades earlier, it had been strictly controlled by the government. On 6 July, 1980, the excursion boat was hijacked by three youngsters seeking to flee Cuba for the United States –Roberto Calveiro León (16) and the brothers Silvio Aguila Yanes (18) and Sergio Aguila Yanes (19). Sergio was in the Cuban Armed Forces doing his obligatory military service and had taken several firearms for the hijacking. Upon taking control of the vessel, the youngsters shouted: “To Miami!” amid screams of approval on the part of the surprised passengers. A security guard posing as a civilian resisted and pulled his gun. Sergio shot and wounded him. Concerned for his health, they placed him on a small boat and sent him back to shore; it was later reported that he had died. Upon arriving, however, he had alerted authorities. As the XX Aniversario was heading to open seas, Julián Rizo Alvarez, Secretary of the Communist party in Matanzas Province, set up a command post near the river bank. Two high-speed Cuban Navy patrol boats were dispatched with orders to prevent the escape and sink the vessel if necessary.
