  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

  • 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.

  • Cuba's Social Revolution
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION WITHOUT WRITER'S CONSENT INSTITUTE OF CURIENT WORLD AFFAIRS 535 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y. 10017 February 6, 1973 FJM-36: REPORT FROM A CUBAN PRISON VI Cuba's Social Revolution Contrary to much that is reported in the U.S. media, or in books written by "Cubanologists," there are positive aspects to the Cuban Revolution. Impressive gains have been made- the elimination of illiteracy, the universalization of free education, tremendous advances in health care, and the eradication of institutions that once fostered such vast inequalities between black and white, rich and poor, urban and ural Cubans. But do these accomplishments mask so much paranoia and repression? Had I been naive, and mistaken rhetoric for reality? Inside Number Eight, the reality of solitary provides a partial answer to that question, but objectively it's much more complex than that. While there are instances of injustice, injustices that even form an inherent part of the Cuban Revolutionary process, there has also been an institutionalizing of a collectiveor what I'd call social justice that has benefitted millions of Cubans. The time I spent in Cuba confirmed both realities. On one hand, if Justice is defined in terms of the right of every Cuban to employment, education, health, a proper (if not plentiful) diet and decent housing insofar as it is available, the revolution has accomplished more in fourteen years to achieve "justice" in this sense than any regime before it. The contrast is Cuba's message. First, there is no unemployment in Cuba today, a remarkable shift from 158 unemployment-underemployment figure EMPLOYMENT of 30 to 33 percent.
