  • Una Revista Al Servicio De La Nación: Bohemia and the Evolution of Cuban Journalism (1908-1960)
    UNA REVISTA AL SERVICIO DE LA NACIÓN: BOHEMIA AND THE EVOLUTION OF CUBAN JOURNALISM (1908-1960) By RICHARD DENIS A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2016 © 2016 Richard Denis To my parents, Elio and Oilda Denis, for their unconditional love and support, and for instilling in me a love of patria at a young age. The memory of them and their sacrifice burns bright in their children and grandchildren. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work is the result of a lifetime of curiosity about the world my parents were born into, and I want to thank them, Elio and Oilda Denis, for instilling in me a sense of the love and devotion they had for their beloved homeland, their patria. I take some solace in the thought that perhaps their physical absence in this world is mitigated by their spiritual reunion with the country they had to leave. Their countless sacrifices are not forgotten. My advisor Professor Lillian Guerra deserves much of the credit for helping guide me into shaping this work into its current form. Her vast and profound understanding of twentieth century Cuba has always amazed and impressed upon me the importance of working harder to understand Cuban history from as many different perspectives as possible, considering the diverse range of voices that deserve to be heard and represented to give a more nuanced interpretation to the complex history that characterized Cuba before the triumph of the Revolution. I am indebted to Professor Sherry Johnson for mentoring and encouraging me to pursue what I have always loved and for helping to light up my path to graduate school at the University of Florida.

  • Fulgencio Batista and Populism in Cuba, –*
    J. Lat. Amer. Stud. , – Printed in the United Kingdom # Cambridge University Press The Architect of the Cuban State: Fulgencio Batista and Populism in Cuba, –* ROBERT WHITNEY Abstract. This article examines how Fulgencio Batista y Zaldı!var emerged as the ‘strong man’ of Cuba. Historians have pointed out that from to Batista’s primary support came from the army and the police. We also know that, like many other Latin American leaders at the time, Batista went through a ‘populist phase’. Populists acknowledged the reality that ‘the masses’ were a new force in society and that ‘the people’ were at the centre of the nation and the state. Populist discourse functioned to construct a ‘people’ out of fragmented and scattered populations. Batista was very aware that in order to rule Cuba he had to appeal to ‘the people’ and to the revolutionary sentiments of . But we need more information about exactly what Batista’s political ideas were and how he put them into practice. This article shows how Batista became, in his own words, the ‘architect’ of the post-revolutionary state between and . Batista supervised Cuba’s transition from a military dictatorship in to a nominal constitutional democracy in . The aim is to shed some light on how this remarkable transition took place. Between the s and the early s the combined pressures of mass mobilisation, revolution, economic crisis and the threat of foreign intervention from the United States compelled Cuban politicians from across the ideological spectrum to come to terms with the clases populares " as a factor in national and international politics.

    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu ¿Qué se hizo de...? (II) Presidentes cubanos en la neocolonia: historias tras el adiós (I) Publicado: Domingo 19 julio 2009 | 12:51:56 am. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde Continuamos hoy la historia a la que se dio comienzo la semana anterior. ¿Qué hicieron los presidentes cubanos, cómo fue su vida, luego de que abandonaron el poder? En la página pasada hablamos sobre Estrada Palma, José Miguel Gómez y Mario García Menocal. Toca ahora el turno a los restantes. El licenciado Alfredo Zayas y Alfonso sustituyó a Menocal en 1921. Su llegada al poder fue fruto de una larga paciencia. Su gobierno transcurrió en una crisis permanente que él supo superar con inteligencia y astucia. Debió hacer malabares para no ser arrollado por la ola cada vez más alta de la inconformidad popular. Sofocó la insurrección del Movimiento de Veteranos y Patriotas sin disparar un tiro. Le bastó la libreta de cheques que llevaba en el bolsillo cuando visitó el campo enemigo. Tuvo la precaución de hacerse erigir una estatua en vida y la develó antes de salir de Palacio. Se retiró entonces a la vida privada. Murió en su casa del Vedado, el 11 de abril de 1934. No llegó a escribir la historia de Cuba por la que la República le pagó 500 pesos mensuales desde 1913. Su viuda, María Jaén, donó al Archivo Nacional la valiosa papelería que el ex presidente había ido acumulando como historiador oficial. Ni un minuto menos El 11 de agosto de 1933, el general Gerardo Machado solicitó licencia al Congreso de la República y al día siguiente salió del país en avión con destino a Nassau.

El que desconoce su pasado, no puede vivir su presente a cabalidad y, por lo tanto, le será mucho más difícil intentar diseñar su futuro. Cuba, comparada con otros países, tiene una historia breve pero intensa, compleja y singularísima en su devenir. Cuenta con destacadas figuras que han contribuido a enriquecer la idiosincrasia de su pueblo y a estimular la participación colectiva en los asuntos que conciernen a la nación y al mundo. Pablo Félix Alejandro Salvador de la Torriente Brau no nació ni murió en Cuba, pero la historia de este país en la cuarta década del siglo XX no puede escribirse omitiendo su nombre. No se vinculó a las aulas universitarias, pero es imposible referirse a las luchas estudiantiles universitarias sin mencionarlo. En la Universidad de La Habana existe un busto con su imagen. Nunca cursó estudios de periodismo, pero está considerado uno de los mejores periodistas de su época.
