This was not a particularly brilliant move on my part, but was a consequence of trying to field too many questions at once. If by any wild chance, the tape was found oy someone and turned into your lost and found, I should be much obliged if you could return it to me, or for that matter, give it to my colleague at George Washington, Dr. Ray C.

Speaking of common intellectual aches and pains often has a cathartic effect. Your courtesy in attending, and taking time out of your own busy schedule, means a great deal to me. I only regret that we had far too little private time together - the curse of such occasions. I did have the chance to read through OJO PINTA on the train ride home. In art as in life one has favorites. My own is the work of Magin Perez Ortiz. His work has a brilliance and sharp cutting edge. There is an amusing element of Klee like dimensions that reveals a person of extraordinary talent and courage alike. If you would send me the slides of his work, I should be much obliged. That Cuba can produce people like Cedey de Jesus Rojas who can write, in the midst of a grotesque tyranny that "my work is a perverse game between the sacred and the profane, the classic and the historic, the presence and absence of politics and art..." proves that irony will always triumph over ideology. Perhaps some of your wealthy Miami contacts can underwrite the costs of publication of Raul Rivero's effort.

It seemed to extend the efforts of the Chicago School in genuinely innovative directions. Doubtless, your work has taken a different turn in the last decade, living in Washington will do that.

  • Cuba, Castro and Anti-Semitism
    Curr Psychol DOI 10.1007/s12144-007-9016-4 Cuba, Castro and Anti-Semitism Irving Louis Horowitz # Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2007 Abstract The Soviets provided Cuba with the model of attacking human rights activities and organizations as a necessary extension of the Jewish Zionist conspiracy. The identification of Castro with forces dedicated to the destruction of Israel was made plain in proclamation and practice. The Cuban position is that the war on terrorism is actually an example of “Liberation Imperialism.” Cubans make no reference to the repeated assaults on Israel, or the actual causes of the Middle East conflict—the denial of the right of Israel to exist as a Nation-State in that region. Anti-Semitism is so powerfully rooted as a cultural element in authoritarian cultures that even when, as in the case of Cuban communism, it entails the tortured twisting of doctrinal elements within Marxism–Leninism, such as doctrinal claims about the “materialist foundations of society,” its leaders will sacrifice the ideology to the reality. Part of the Castro attachment to communism is an overall contempt for the Jewish mini-Diaspora within the larger flight of Cubans to the United States and other places where the practice of free speech remain unimpeded. The regime of Fidel Castro has changed little in the past 49 years, compared to the rest of the world. Keywords Communism . Jihadist . Zionist . Nazism . Hostility Introduction Karl Marx, in his brilliant historical study of The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, starts out by reminding us that “Hegel says somewhere that all great historic facts and personages recur twice.

  • The Jewish Community of Buenos Aires'
    THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF BUENOS AIRES' - Irving Louis Horowitz ITH a population of approximately a quarter million, Greater Buenos Aires and its adjacentprovinces unquestionably has the Wlargest concentration of Jewish people in the Western Hemi- sphere outside the United States. Further, in absorbing more than one- half of all twentieth-century Jewish immigration to Latin America, Argentina ranks second only to the United States as a haven for the Diaspora Jew.2 Given this impressive fact, it comes as something of a surprise that serious sociological and demographic analysis of the Jews of Buenos Aires has not yet been undertaken. The reasons for this are many and various. We might here men- tion the following. First, the generally late development of empirical sociology in Latin America and the particular blight on social science research in Argentina during the rule of Juan D. Peron (1945-53), years which coincide with a widespread growth of interest in community life and the study of complex organization;4 second, the extremely powerful nationalistic ideologies which have tended to emphasize the homogeneity of Argentina in terms of Roman Catholicism as a social institution;5 third, the tendency of Jewish community leaders in Buenos Aires to accept the ground-rules set forth by competing nation- alist and statist ideologies, and thus to carry on their activities outside the glare of any sort of publicity which might adversely affect Jewish occupational or cultural advanees;6 fourth, the widespread 'assimi- lationist' Jewish intelligentsia, which has traditionally identified with posisivismo as against espiritualismo; taking the position that being Jewish, like being Gentile, isan accident of birth, an ethico-religious credo having no real utility in the post-feudal world—where a new enlighten- ment and new humanism ought to prevail (if they do not exist in fact) .

  • The Politics of Reality Avoidance: Pilgrimage to Cuba 1959-1996
    The Politics of Reality Avoidance: Pilgrimage to Cuba 1959-1996 Irving Louis Horowitz Rutgers University Political pilgrims have been a special part of the Cuban landscape ever since Fidel Castro came to power in January 1959. It started with Herbert L. Matthews’s dispatches from the Sierra Maestra, and came to fruition with his March 8, 1959, interview published in The New York Times Magazine, in which Matthews declared that “no one ever calls him anything else [but Fidel] in Cuba” since he “obvi- ously arouses all the maternal instincts in women”—a subject on which Mr. Matthews presumed to have been well versed. In thirty- seven years since then, the iconography has hardened into dogma- tism, while the idolatry has gone from bad to worse. How can it be that professional people of ostensibly sound mind and firm moral principles are able to tender their support for the longest-running dictatorship in the world? I have in mind those po- litical pilgrims who still manage to sing paeans of praise for Fidel Castro and his Cuban regime after thirty-seven years of demon- strated tyranny, while bemoaning militarism and the loss of civil lib- erties in other nations of the region. That individuals are able to do so, not only in the face of overwhelming empirical evidence of a sin- gularly failed government but also a century of turmoil and tyranny identified with communism throughout the world, is, in my view, less a failure of intelligence, perception, or knowledge-gathering This article is based on a lecture delivered at the Graduate School of Interna- tional Relations, The University of Miami, on April 15, 1996.
