The Pope of Latin America - the New Yorker
9/17/2016 The Pope of Latin America - The New Yorker DAILY COMMENT THE POPE OF LATIN AMERICA By Jon Lee Anderson, JULY 17, 2015 When Pope Francis visited Bolivia, President Evo Morales presented him with a crucix made in the shape of a hammer and sickle. PHOTOGRAPH BY L’OSSERVATORE ROMANO / POOL / AP here are countries in the world where the history has been so brutal, so T humiliating, and so unreconciled, that it has become part of the national http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/the-pope-of-latin-america 1/8 9/17/2T016 The Pope of Latin America - The New Yorker iconography—sometimes to a degree that can startle foreign visitors. Bolivia’s President, Evo Morales, luridly underscored this point during Pope Francis’s recent visit there. In a ceremony that was held in front of television cameras, Morales handed the Pope the gift of a wooden crucifix made in the shape of a hammer and sickle. The Pope received the object politely, but he appeared wary. (In remarks he made later, the Pope Search The New Yorker GO claimed he had not been “oﬀended” by the crucifix, while Morales explained that his gift had been oﬀered “out of love” for the man he called “the Pope of the poor.”) The crucifix turned out to have been a specially commissioned replica of one made by the late Luís Espinal Camps, a left-wing Spanish priest and filmmaker who was murdered in La Paz, in 1980, by a Bolivian-government death squad. The killers gruesomely tortured Espinal before shooting him to death in a slaughterhouse.

NUEVA SOCIEDAD Número 42 Mayo
NUEVA SOCIEDAD NRO. 216 JULIO-AGOSTO 2008 Oil-for-Doctors: Cuban Medical Diplomacy Gets a Little Help From a Venezuelan Friend JULIE M. FEINSILVER Medical diplomacy is one of the key elements of Cuban foreign policy. In 2008, more than 30.000 doctors and other health professionals collaborated in 70 countries across the world. The strategy, based on the successes of the health system under the Revolution, has given Cuba international prestige and political capital, reflected in the annual votes against the blockage in the United Nations. In recent years, the existence of the Chávez government has enabled the island to sign an agreement exchanging doctors for oil, converting the exportation of health into the most promising economic activity for Cuba. Julie M. Feinsilver: Visiting Researcher, Center for Latin American Studies, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Georgetown University, Washington, DC. Key Words: International Policy, Health, Medical Diplomacy, Oil, Venezuela, Cuba. Introduction Most Latin Americans know that Cuba has a highly rated health system and that it provides medical assistance to other countries, most probably including their own. What they do not know is that since the outset of the Cuban Revolution almost 50 ye ars ago, the Cuban government has engaged in this medical diplomacy. The use of medical diplomacy both for humanitarian reasons and to win the hearts and minds of the recipients over the years has been expanded from disaster and emergency relief to the provision of both direct medical care and medical education in the beneficiary NUEVA SOCIEDAD 216 Julie M.

The Devil They Know - The New Yorker http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1998/07/27/the-devil-the... Save paper and follow @newyorker on Twitter Letter from Liberia JULY 27, 1998 ISSUE TABLE OF CONTENTS The Devil They Know BY JON LEE ANDERSON n Balamah, a village surrounded by a patchwork of forest and small farms in central Liberia, I asked a boy if there had been much killing in the area during the recent civil Iwar. “Too many people!” he exclaimed. “Much killing!” Who, I asked, had done the killing? I named some of the warring factions. The boy waved his hand and nodded, a gesture I understood to mean “All of them.” I asked, “Why?” and he replied, shrugging, “They killed because they had power.” When I was a teen-ager, in the early seventies, I spent a year in Liberia living with a geologist uncle and his family, and I visited Balamah several times. I danced there for the first time in my life, with a circle of youngsters who chanted and banged sticks on cracker-tin lids. I even learned some words of the local Kpelle language, and was given a Kpelle name, Saki—which I was told meant “Tall Man”—that I was very proud of. I hiked into the jungle beyond Balamah looking for elephants, and met children who had never seen a white person. They shrieked in terror at the sight of me. I was also present once when a bush devil came through. He was on a mission to capture children for one of the mysterious bush schools that indigenous Liberians attend to acquire the knowledge and the ritual scars that will enable them to become full members of their tribe.

Leonardo Padura Dans Le New Yorker Par Michel Porcheron Quand The
Leonardo Padura dans le New Yorker Par Michel Porcheron Quand The New Yorker met à un de ses sommaires un grand nom de la littérature, ce qui est fréquent, c’est toujours un évènement, quand le magazine newyorkais publie --pour la première fois -- un reportage sur un écrivain cubain, Leonardo Padura en l’occurrence, c’est un évènement et quelque chose de plus. Leonardo Padura vient en effet de se gagner dix pages dans le New Yorker (21 octobre 2013), invariablement – et justement- qualifiée de magazine « prestigieux », aux Etats Unis et (presque) partout ailleurs. Ce magazine, au très fort tirage, sort environ 40 numéros par an. L’écrivain cubain n’a pas eu à se déplacer. C’est Jon Lee Anderson (1957) qui est allé à sa rencontre, à La Havane. Pour franchir la porte de son domicile, il faut se rendre au quartier (dit périphérique) Mantilla, au sud de la capitale. « Je vis là où je suis né », a l’occasion de dire Padura. (voir deux photos plus bas) Le reportage de Jon Lee Anderson a été publié dans un numéro d’octobre de New Yorker. Son accès est réservé aux abonnés ou aux inscrits payants. Letter from Havana Private Eyes A crime novelist navigates Cuba’s shifting reality. by Jon Lee Anderson October 21, 2013 Bref aperçu : http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/10/21/131021fa_fact_anders on Jon Lee Anderson, né en Californie, collabore au The New Yorker depuis 1998, où ont été publiés notamment ses reportages en Irak, en Afghanistan ou encore au Liban. Il est l’auteur de plusieurs livres (non traduits en français) en particulier “The Lion’s Grave: Dispatches From Afghanistan,” “Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life,” “Guerrillas: Journeys in the Insurgent World,” et plus récemment “The Fall of Baghdad.” Il est également le co-auteur avec Scott Anderson de “War Zones: Voices from the World’s Killing Grounds,” et “Inside the League.” Pour sa biographie de Che Guevara (1997, rééditée en 2010), pour laquelle il a consacré 5 ans de travail, il a séjourné longuement à Cuba, à partir de 1992, ayant accès à des sources exceptionnelles.

Che Guevara's Bolivia Campaign
Che Guevara’s Bolivia Campaign: Thirty Years of Controversy By Matilde Zimmermann Departments of History and Latin American Studies Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, New York Prepared for Delivery at the 1998 Meeting of the Latin American Studies Association The Palmer House Hilton Hotel Chicago, Illinois, September 24-26, 1998 In late 1966, Che Guevara arrived in Bolivia at the head of a small band of Cuban and Bolivian guerrillas. Eleven months later almost all the guerrillas were dead and Guevara himself had been executed at the orders of the Bolivian president and in the presence of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s chief Che-hunter. Because of Bolivia, the collective memory of Che Guevara that has come to predominate over all others is that of the failed revolutionary, the impossible dreamer. For most people--with the possible exception of Cubans on the island--Guevara’s name brings to mind not the military commander of the war against Batista, not the hard-working and hard-nosed Minister of Industry of the early 1960s, but rather the “martyr” of Bolivia. The most common graphic image of Guevara is a perfect accompaniment to this view; besides his trademark beret, he is wearing a far- away gaze that is actually quite atypical of photographs of Che. Historians and social scientists--who have the advantage, of course, of knowing the outcome--have portrayed the Bolivia campaign as a classic romantic adventure, doomed from the start. For them it is clear proof that Che was a utopian, that socialist revolution was impossible outside of Cuba and the strategy of guerrilla warfare a deadend.
