Home Mission Board. Cuba Mission Collection. Date Span: 1960 – 1994 Abstract: Materials document the work of the Home Mission Board (HMB) in the four western provinces of Cuba during the revolution and post-revolution period. The collection is divided into two series – general files and property deeds. The general and subject files include architectural drawings, clippings, correspondence, annuals of the Baptist Conventions of Western Cuba, and historical information and pamphlets, with emphasis on the imprisonment and eventual release of HMB personnel Herbert Caudill and David Fite. The post-revolution period material documents the role of Oscar Romo and Baptist work in western Cuba and the work of the Baptist Convention of Western Cuba. The property deeds, all in Spanish, provide information on more than 100 churches, schools, homes, and other buildings owned by the Home Mission Board in the country. Size: 9 linear ft. (6 record center boxes) Collection #: AR 631-16 Historical Sketch The Home Mission Board began work in Cuba in 1886. Work in the country expanded for about a decade, but by the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898, nearly all mission activity had been demoralized. At the close of the war, the Board entered an agreement, with the American Baptist Home Mission Society, under which the eastern half of Cuba was transferred to the Society and the western half was retained by the SBC’s Home Mission Board. Southern Baptist work in Western Cuba flourished through the 1950s. In 1955, the Home Mission Board’s property value exceeded $1.5 million, and the Convention reported 508 baptisms in the four provinces of Western Cuba. Initially, Fidel Castro was greeted as a liberator, and freedom was enjoyed for a time. Religious activities were not abruptly terminated, but decrees progressively closed freedom’s doors. By 1961, many Christians had left the country. In April, 1965, HMB personnel Herbert Caudill and David Fite, along with fifty-three 3 other leaders, were imprisoned. In February, 1969, the Caudill and Fite families returned to the United States. In 1968, the Convention reported ninety churches, 6,667 members, and 161 baptisms. New work was almost impossible. Denominational meetings required government approval, and the clinic, assembly, and seminary enjoyed limited freedom. The work of the Baptist Convention of Western Cuba did continue with limited support from the Home Mission Board and leadership of the Home Mission Board staffers Oscar Romo and others. Scope and Content Note The Home Mission Board Cuba Mission Collection consists of materials that document the work of the Board in the four Western provinces of Cuba during an unsettled time of the country’s history. The collection is divided into two series: general files and property deeds. The general and subject files include architectural drawings, clippings, correspondence, annuals of the Baptist Conventions of Western Cuba, and historical information and pamphlets, with emphasis on the imprisonment and eventual release of HMB personnel Herbert Caudill and David Fite. The collection includes information on Baptist churches and mission work after the Cuban revolution. Oscar Romo, of the Home Mission Board, was closely involved with the continued work in Cuba in the 1970s and 1980s. The collection includes valuable information on the work and history of the Baptist Convention of Western Cuba (Asociacion Convencion Bautista de Cuba Occidental). The historical material includes a History of the Baptist work in Cuba, by Leoncio G. Veguilla Cene. A variety of Cuban Baptist publications are part of the collection, including numerous copies of La Voz Bautista, 1982 – 1993. The collection also includes articles and a timeline on the history of Baptist work in Cuba. Several press releases from Baptist Press and the Religious News Service provide information on the unsettled situation in Cuba and imprisonment of Caudill and Fite. Most of the documents and correspondence is in Spanish. The property deeds, all in Spanish, provide information on more than 100 churches, schools, homes, and other buildings owned by the Home Mission Board in the country. The original deeds were returned to the North American Mission Board, and copies were made for this collection. Arrangement The collection is divided into two series – general files and property deeds. Items in the general/subject files series are arranged in alphabetical order by folder title. Property deeds are arranged in the original numerical order in which the deeds were transferred to the SBHLA.

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.

    Análisis Socio-Espacial de la Cuenca Hidrográfica Superficial del Río Quíbú Dr. Isabel Valdivia Fernández Dr. Arturo Rúa de Cabo Lic. Rafael Rodríguez García Facultad de Geografía Universidad de La Habana [email protected] [email protected] INTRODUCCIÓN Desde la Cumbre de Río de Janeiro en el año 1992 hasta nuestros días, el mundo ha sido testigo de un intenso repuntar de la conciencia ambiental, manifestada en la proliferación de grupos y organizaciones de toda índole, la creación de un sin número de instituciones públicas y privadas dedicadas al tema, la celebración de innumerables conferencias, talleres y reuniones y la aprobación de cientos de leyes y reglamentos en todo el mundo, e incluso de diversos convenios ambientales internacionales. Pero lamentablemente, es también en esta etapa donde se han incrementado todas las tendencias negativas para el medio ambiente, siendo las guerras un ejemplo muy claro de maltrato al medio ambiente y, en especial, a la especie humana, dicotomía que pone en tela de juicio la efectividad del despliegue de las acciones antes señaladas, que se han movido básicamente en los ámbitos institucionales y legales sin lograr una repercusión real en el estado del medio ambiente. (Santos, O., 2002) Ciertamente, la alteración de las condiciones naturales de vida es una consecuencia indispensable del desarrollo social de la humanidad. Es también cierto que no siempre el hombre estableció de modo correcto sus relaciones con la naturaleza y todo indica que diversas sociedades, desde la antigüedad, pueden haber sucumbido o al menos adelantado su colapso por esta razón. Sin embargo, es un hecho que esos casos y procesos aislados no son en modo alguno comparables con el carácter global y urgente que hoy caracteriza al fenómeno ambiental.

Through an extensive review of information on Cuban herpetofauna, including protected area management plans, we present the first comprehensive inventory of introduced amphibians and reptiles in the Cuban archipelago. We classify species as Invasive, Established Non-invasive, Not Established, and Transported. We document the arrival of 26 species, five amphibians and 21 reptiles, in more than 35 different introduction events. Of the 26 species, we identify 11 species (42.3%), one amphibian and 10 reptiles, as established, with nine of them being invasive: Lithobates catesbeianus, Caiman crocodilus, Hemidactylus mabouia, H. angulatus, H. frenatus, Gonatodes albogularis, Sphaerodactylus argus, Gymnophthalmus underwoodi, and Indotyphlops braminus. We present the introduced range of each of the 26 species in the Cuban archipelago as well as the other Caribbean islands and document historical records, the population sources, dispersal pathways, introduction events, current status of distribution, and impacts.

  • Comportamiento Estacional Y Temporal De Aedes Aegypti Y Aedes Albopictus En La Habana, Cuba
    62 REV CUBANA MED TROP 2008;60(1):62-7 INSTITUTO DE MEDICINA TROPICAL “PEDRO KOURÍ” Comportamiento estacional y temporal de Aedes aegypti y Aedes albopictus en La Habana, Cuba Lic. María del Carmen Marquetti,1 Lic. Juan Bisset,2 Ing. Maureen Leyva,3 Téc. Aimara García4 y Lic. Magdalena Rodríguez5 RESUMEN OBJETIVOS: por causa de la permanencia de Aedes albopictus en el ecosistema urbano y periurbano de varios municipios, después de su introducción en Cuba en 1995, así como la presencia de poblaciones residuales de Aedes aegypti, se evaluó el comportamiento temporal y espacial de ambas especies en un municipio de Ciudad de La Habana. MÉTODOS: se realizó la inspección de todos los locales del municipio La Lisa durante enero-diciembre de 2006, se revisó todo tipo de depósitos con agua así como los criaderos naturales y las larvitrampas, dispositivo utilizado en la vigilancia del vector del dengue. RESULTADOS: se demostró la plasticidad ecológica de Aedes aegypti destacándose su presencia en los tanques bajos y las latas, mientras que Aedes albopictus prevaleció en las latas y las gomas. El mayor número de recipientes positivos para ambas especies se encontró en los meses julio-septiembre, perteneciente a la estación lluviosa en Cuba. Se evidenció una distribución alopátrica entre ambas especies; porque a pesar de estar Aedes aegypti distribuido en todo el municipio, su presencia fue menor en las áreas rurales donde predominó Aedes albopictus; aunque este último se mantuvo durante todo el año con baja positividad en los recipientes. CONCLUSIÓN: a pesar de las actividades directas de control contra Aedes aegypti que se desarrollan en Cuba de manera permanente, las cuales hacen que prevalezcan bajas densidades de la especie, Aedes albopictus no la ha desplazado de sus sitios de cría habituales.
