Inclement weather— though we’d like to think there won’t be any—may also necessitate minor alterations. All pricing in U.S. dollars. ©2015 Butterfield & Robinson Inc. 1-800-387-1147 | www.butterfield.com Your Journey In a fast-paced world where old seems to give way to new at a moment’s notice, there is a beauty in the patina of those few pockets of the globe that still truly feel vintage. In Cuba, there is simply no mistaking this feeling. After half a century spent on the periphery of modernity, its doors are finally opening, the island practically beckoning for discovery. As a Canadian company, B&R has long been wise to its charms; after years of waiting patiently (and politely—we are Canadian, after all), we’re thrilled to finally share this place with our closest friends. Havana Any Cuban journey must start in Havana. Her faded beauty is legendary – this is hands down the most winsome city in the Caribbean. It's also rising up from its ruins: a chunk of the tourist money that has hit the Cuban coffers over the last two decades has been showered on sprucing up Habana Vieja, the old colonial centre. Once fortified against the threat of pirates and colonial rivals, the seductive city has risen from the ashes with the painstaking restoration work of city historian Eusebio Leal, who had to bring some restoration artisans out of retirement to realize his dream and pass their wisdom on to the next generation. Cobbled streets lead to now immaculately polished Baroque churches, castles and palaces. Plazas have been returned to their former glory, their fountains flowing once more, their facades re- rendered attentively. Along the seafront of Havana, the malecón, the strains of salsa waft from the rebooted sound systems of vintage Cadillacs and Buicks, and the facades of grandiose seafront buildings are being slowly resurrected. Admittedly, the restoration money hasn't quite reached most of the rest of the city yet. Just west of Habana Vieja, the gritty working class district of Centro Habana is a picture of 2 ruined, rutted beauty, and the well-heeled districts of Vedado and Miramar, west again, are more peeling and faded than salubrious cousins in more solvent cities. Street life in Havana is key: on-the-ground socializing is the top Cuban pastime, whether that's domino playing, gossiping, or arguing loudly about baseball, so from the Havana belles to the beauteous buildings, there is always something to captivate and beguile. There is also something to do in Havana as well. There are realms of museums and cultural spaces, and you can enjoy virtuoso ballet, Afro Cuban dance, flamenco, jazz and timba. After years of boredom on the restaurant scene, panoply of new private restaurants, paladares, are pushing the envelope on the culinary scene as the government loosens the laws governing small business start-ups. Your time here is going to be perfectly timed as well; this is a place in flux! Day 1 - March 12 On your arrival you will be picked up at the international airport in Havana and brought to your hotel for check in. Welcome to Cuba and the crown jewel that is Havana. After arriving at the hotel you’ll have the option of strolling around the capital to stretch your legs and get acquainted with this wonderful city. Walking around Havana feels like strolling through a painting of some mythical land; past the fog of the doldrums, the buildings fade out on the edges in loose lines and scattered twitches, as if left by the stroke of a brush. It remains a city of secrets, of mystery, the perfect labyrinth in which to set a story. You can see why Hemmingway had his way with the place—it is a tropical muse. This afternoon we will meet at 3pm in the lobby of the hotel and drive to El Vedado, a neighborhood in Havana that is one of our favorites. Here we will meet with a few local friends who will take us through their home and walk with us to El Cocinero. El Cocinero is a new fabulous restaurant on top of the FAC (Fabrica de Arte Cubano) a contemporary arts space. Meals: Dinner Day 2 - March 13 This morning we will walk from the hotel into Havana’s Old Town. The city was founded in 1514 by Conquistador Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, though its original iteration morphed over the years, until it settled deep into the ground and became the city you will see today. Along the way you will see the highlights of the city, the Capitolio, Gran Teatro, Museo de Revolution, Parque Central, the Bacardi building, Art Museum, Calle Obispo, Plaza de Armas, Plaza de la Cathedral, Plaza San Francisco de Asis, 3 Plaza Vieja and Hotel Ambos Mundos. During the walk we will make a stop at San Francisco Square and will peek into the Basilica to meet 20 of our friends of the Camerata Romeu, an all female chamber orchestra, who will perform a few classic and folk songs on their stringed instruments. Then we will have lunch with one of our local friends, who invite us into their home for a home-cooked meal. Often in Havana the meals in homes are far better than in the restaurants. Due to the decades-long embargo, the food in Cuba has a less than stellar reputation. But there are a lot of delicious traditional dishes, which we’ve helped dig up through a network of chefs we know and local friends. After lunch we will visit the Convent of Santa Clara of Assisi and Santa Teresa de Jesus Cloisters. The Convent of Santa Clara of Assisi is Havana’s very first convent. After visiting these sites we will return to the hotel to freshen up. This evening we will go to a special place for dinner. Our friends, Pamela Ruiz and artist Damian Aquiles have invited us to their villa in Havana’s embassy district for the evening. This house is the center of a few different worlds in Havana, the art world, movers and shakers, and a home away from home for many visiting politicians coming to work on the US Cuba Relations. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner HOTEL | Hotel National, Havana Havana's Hotel National is the icon, the one in the movies, the electric soul of the city. Eclectic style building with marked neoclassical features, located on the water. 4 Trinidad Trinidad is far and away the most handsome town in Cuba, with multi coloured pastel hued terraces and rust-red roofs. This fertile land of mountain and sea has always brought wealth to lucky locals. In the colonial area, especially between 1750 and 1850, sugar cane was huge, and fabulously rich Spanish families raised gorgeous mansions around Trinidad's main square off the back of their sugar mills in the valley. Now their descendant rent rooms out to hordes of visiting foreigners. Mountain and sea collide around the Topes de Collantes, producing rich soil for crops. As produce is bountiful, so the home-cooked food has always been superior, even in bad economic times. As the state restaurants in this town are below par, investigate the private restaurants – paladares – even the meals offered by your own casa particular, or that of other visitors you encounter. Bell towers intersperse the picture-book houses, offering winning views to mountain and the hazy coast. It's a short drive from Trinidad to Playa Ancon, one of the loveliest beaches on the island, and if you can cope with all-inclusive hotels, it's possible to stay there too, though day trips are the better alternative. Day 3 - March 14 Today we head out of the city and go due south, into another world of Cuba, south and central to Cienfuegos, a laid-back city situated on the huge bay of the same name. Today’s drive will take us on country roads lined with mango orchards and palm trees. As we get closer into Cienfuegos we will pass by sugar cane farms, ending with a boat ride that will deliver us right into the old town of Cienfuegos. Cienfuegos was settled late in the colonial game when Louis de Clouet, a Frenchman who had immigrated to New Orleans, established it in 1819. After the 1959 revolution, Cienfuegos received substantial investment from the Soviet Union and a large industrial base developed, including the impressive Karl Marx Cement Factory. Cienfuegos is also home to 12 sugar mills with a capacity to grind about 40,000 tons of sugar cane each day. In stark contrast to the industrial development is Cienfuegos’ charming town centre and the impressive architecture of the buildings around Parque Jose Marti. One of 5 Cienfuegos’ most famous sons was the singer Benny More, whose name also adorns the Meson (café) El Palatino on the town’s main square.

The Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca was carefully constructed during his lifetime to be his lasting legacy in New Spain. The goal of this dissertation is to reexamine published primary sources in light of this new argument and integrate unknown archival material to trace the development of a lasting legacy by Cortés and his direct heirs in Spanish colonial Mexico. Part one looks at Cortés’s life after the conquest of Mexico, giving particular attention to the themes of fame and honor and how these ideas guided his actions. The importance of land and property in and after the conquest is also highlighted. Part two is an examination of the marquisate, discussing the key features of the various landholdings and also their importance to the legacy Cortés sought to construct.

  • Puerto Rican Food Sovereignty As Embodied Decolonial Resistance
    “DESDE ABAJO, COMO SEMILLA”: PUERTO RICAN FOOD SOVEREIGNTY AS EMBODIED DECOLONIAL RESISTANCE by MOMO WILMS-CROWE A THESIS Presented to the Department of Political Science and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts An Abstract of the Thesis of Momo Wilms-Crowe for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Political Science to be taken June 2020 Title: “Desde Abajo, Como Semilla: Puerto Rican Food Sovereignty as Embodied Decolonial Resistance Approved: _______Dan Tichenor, Ph.D______________ Primary Thesis Advisor This thesis explores the power, possibility, and agency embedded in food in the contemporary Puerto Rican context. Building from participatory ethnographic fieldwork with activists, chefs, and farmers engaged in food sovereignty work, I examine the concepts of political agency and subjectivity as they relate to embodied experiences of politics and highlight the generative potential of work occurring in unconventional locations for political participation. This approach is made possible with the understanding that the food we consume directly connects our individual lived experiences to broader structures of power in intimate and material ways. Through food, I offer a grounded critique of US colonial violence, inherently linked to ecological destruction, cisheteropatriarchy, and disaster capitalism. I also document dynamics of radical prefigurative politics as visible in people’s generative reimagining of relationships with their bodies, each other, and the land. This analysis is supported theoretically by Indigenous, anarchist, and queer/feminist perspectives which similarly connect the personal to the political and offer examples of political action that extend beyond state-centric formal politics.

  • Brazil of Biofuels
    The launch of this report on the impacts of 2008’s sugarcane harvest marks the conclusion of the first cycle of activities of the Biofuel Watch Center (BWC) of NGO Repórter Brasil. SUGARCANE This research on sugarcane, an expanding crop facing the ethanol global boom, brings an alert on the contrast between the wealth and poverty that characterizes the sector: on the one hand, high investments from national and international groups guarantee cutting- edge technology development; on the other, the advance of monoculture generates environmental problems and thousands of workers are still suffering laboural super- exploitation. During 2008, we have also produced a report on the impacts of soy and castor bean, and another on palm oil, babassu, cotton, corn and jatropha, always with the goal of subsiding, with qualified info and analysis, social movements, non-governmental organisations, authorities, entrepreneurs and specialists in general. In 2009, new reports will be published, aiming at verifying the evolution of the problems caused by the agroenergy crops.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Earth and Material Sciences THE GOVERNANCE OF FOOD TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE FLOWS: CONNECTING MILLS, WATER, WHEAT, AND PEOPLE IN COLONIAL LIMA, PERU (1535-1700) A Dissertation in Geography by Martha G. Bell © 2013 Martha G. Bell Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2013 The dissertation of Martha G. Bell was reviewed and approved* by the following: Karl S. Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Deryck W. Holdsworth Professor of Geography Brian H. King Professor of Geography James P. McCarthy Professor of Geography David L. Webster Professor of Anthropology Brent Yarnal Professor of Geography Associate Head of the Department of Geography Graduate Program Officer *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes interrelationships between technology change, environmental resource flows, and environmental resource governance as part of the broader social-ecological and landscape transformations of the Columbian Exchange period. It takes the example of the Spanish introduction of gristmill technology and related wheat/bread production and water management practices to Lima, Peru during the early colonial period (1535-1700). Mills are analyzed in a historical political ecological and landscape perspective; they are conceptualized not as isolated mechanical devices, but rather as components of extensive water management systems, far-reaching grain markets and economies, and broad social networks of resource access. They were physical sites of intersection between flows of water, grain, and people. One remarkable archival collection was the main source used to trace these flows.
