Abstract The problem facing the Cuban Revolution after 1959 was how to increase productive capacity and labour productivity, in conditions of underdevelopment and in transition to socialism, without relying on capitalist mechanisms that would undermine the formation of new consciousness and social relations integral to communism. Locating Guevara’s economic analysis at the heart of the research, the thesis examines policies and development strategies formulated to meet this challenge, thereby refuting the mainstream view that his emphasis on consciousness was idealist. Rather, it was intrinsic and instrumental to the economic philosophy and strategy for social change advocated. -

¡Patria O Muerte!: José Martí, Fidel Castro, and the Path to Cuban Communism
¡Patria o Muerte!: José Martí, Fidel Castro, and the Path to Cuban Communism A Thesis By: Brett Stokes Department: History To be defended: April 10, 2013 Primary Thesis Advisor: Robert Ferry, History Department Honors Council Representative: John Willis, History Outside Reader: Andy Baker, Political Science 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank all those who assisted me in the process of writing this thesis: Professor Robert Ferry, for taking the time to help me with my writing and offer me valuable criticism for the duration of my project. Professor John Willis, for assisting me in developing my topic and for showing me the fundamentals of undertaking such a project. My parents, Bruce and Sharon Stokes, for reading and critiquing my writing along the way. My friends and loved-ones, who have offered me their support and continued encouragement in completing my thesis. 2 Contents Abstract 3 Introduction 4 CHAPTER ONE: Martí and the Historical Roots of the Cuban Revolution, 1895-1952 12 CHAPTER TWO: Revolution, Falling Out, and Change in Course, 1952-1959 34 CHAPTER THREE: Consolidating a Martían Communism, 1959-1962 71 Concluding Remarks 88 Bibliography 91 3 Abstract What prompted Fidel Castro to choose a communist path for the Cuban Revolution? There is no way to know for sure what the cause of Castro’s decision to state the Marxist nature of the revolution was. However, we can know the factors that contributed to this ideological shift. This thesis will argue that the decision to radicalize the revolution and develop a relationship with the Cuban communists was the only logical choice available to Castro in order to fulfill Jose Marti’s, Cuba’s nationalist hero, vision of an independent Cuba. -

Huber Matos: His Life and Legacy (A Panel Discussion) March 11,2014 | 2:00 PM Modesto A. Maidique Campus Greeen Library 220 Huber Matos Benftez (1918-2014) was a Cuban political activist and writer. Born in Yara (Oriente province), Cuba, he became a rural school teacher and rice farmer. In 1952, Matos opposed Fulgencio Batista's coup d'etat. In 1956, he joined Fidel Castro's guerrilla movement and became one of the leaders of the 26th of July Movement, which overthrew Batista's dictatorship. Matos grew increasingly critical of the movement's shift toward Marxism and closer ties with Communist leaders. He resigned his post as Military Governor of Camaguey in October 1959. Convicted of "treason and sedition" by the Castro regime, he spent 20 years in prison (1959-1979). Once in exile, Matos founded the anti-Castro organization Cuba lndependiente y Democratica (Independent and Democratic Cuba). -

By Dr. Felipe Pazos the Firs
The Carlos F. Díaz-Alejandro Lecture "The Economic Problems of the Period of Transition" by Dr. Felipe Pazos The first Carlos F. Diaz-Alejandro Lecture was delivered on December 28, 1990 at the "Salon de las Americas" of the Inter-American Development Bank by Dr. Felipe Pazos, our Ex. Officio President. This presentation served to raise a number of important issues concerning the Cuban economy which have served as a framework for later discussions during the first annual meeting of the Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy. We have decided therefore to reproduce the full text of the spanish version of this lecture in this volume. An english summary of the main points covered follows: Dr. Pazos' presentation centered on an outline of some of the main types of economic problems likely to be encountered by the Cuban economy during the period of transition. While recognizing that the problems to be faced will depend, in part, on the nature of the political process that leads into the period of transition, Dr. Pazos pointed out that some issues were likely to arise irrespective of how this process evolved and that it was, therefore, important to give some thought as to how they would be tackled when they arose. The main problems, as he saw them, were: 1) How to handle the reconversion of the economy from a centrally planned to a market determined system? In this context, one of the main issues will be how to bring about the privatization of the existing publicly owned enterprises? 2) How to manage the country's international trade -
Review of Julia E. Sweig's Inside the Cuban Revolution
Inside the Cuban Revolution: Fidel Castro and the Urban Underground. By Julia E. Sweig. (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2002. xx, 255 pp. List of illustrations, acknowledgments, abbre- viations, about the research, notes, bibliography, index. $29.95 cloth.) Cuban studies, like former Soviet studies, is a bipolar field. This is partly because the Castro regime is a zealous guardian of its revolutionary image as it plays into current politics. As a result, the Cuban government carefully screens the writings and political ide- ology of all scholars allowed access to official documents. Julia Sweig arrived in Havana in 1995 with the right credentials. Her book preface expresses gratitude to various Cuban government officials and friends comprising a who's who of activists against the U.S. embargo on Cuba during the last three decades. This work, a revision of the author's Ph.D. dissertation, ana- lyzes the struggle of Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement (M-26-7) against the Fulgencio Batista dictatorship from November 1956 to July 1958. Sweig recounts how the M-26-7 urban underground, which provided the recruits, weapons, and funds for the guerrillas in the mountains, initially had a leading role in decision making, until Castro imposed absolute control over the movement. The "heart and soul" of this book is based on nearly one thousand his- toric documents from the Cuban Council of State Archives, previ- ously unavailable to scholars. Yet, the author admits that there is "still-classified" material that she was unable to examine, despite her repeated requests, especially the correspondence between Fidel Castro and former president Carlos Prio, and the Celia Sánchez collection. -
