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.

For questions about specific projects, please contact the Global Education Office. Name: Yasmina Mattison Sudan Year: S2018 Tutor: Armando Fernández and Lissette Solozarno Title: “Research on the Cuban System on Education and Prevention of Natural Disasters: Facing the Inevitable” Topic: Hurricane Education and Prevention in Cuba Medium: Essay and Photo series This past semester in Cuba I have studied the country’s singular defense system against hurricanes and other natural disasters. I have found a five-fold answer to my research question, why is Cuba the safest place in the world during hurricane while is located in the sure path of hurricanes and continues struggles meteorologically? 1. The Revolutionary government’s commitment to defense, 2. hydraulic development plans and infrastructure, 3. meteoritical accuracy, 4. educated and informed public and 5. dedicated sense of solidarity. During my investigation I traveled to coastal towns and areas effected by tropical storms: Cojimar, Guanabo, Santa Fe, Jaimanitas, Central and Old Havana. I also noted the level of consciousness and education surrounding tropical cyclones in less effected, higher elevated areas such as Vedado. I embarked on this work with two tutors well versed in two seemingly distinct forms: environment science and research, visual arts and photography, who advised and guided my research.

  • Análisis Socio-Espacial De La Cuenca Hidrográfica Superficial Del Río Quíbú
    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.
