The history of secret and ritualistic organizations has never received the attention that the subject deserves. Although their influence has been and continues to be considerable, they are viewed as having members who are enjoined to be tight- lipped about the activities. Despite the manifest differences between the branches of this fascinating group, their culture has a commonality whose consideration has been neglected, and the research problems they present for scholars have similarities.

    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.

I was particularly pleased to present a traditional Anglo-Saxon Beacon and Plinth, situated in the historic Lepe Country Park, to the Leader of the Hampshire County Council which will be available for future generations to join in national celebrations. The Diamond Jubilee celebrations were of course followed by the Olympics which feature in a number of articles in this issue of Insight. New Lodges continue to be consecrated and I was particularly pleased to attend the Consecration of two motorcycling Lodges, one in the Isle of Man and the other in our neighbouring Province of Sussex.

    The Master's Letters

    The Master’s Letters Jorge Luis Romeu, M.M. Liverpool Syracuse Lodge No. 501 Onondaga Masonic District of the GL NY A Compilation of my 10 monthly Master’s Letters appearing in The Word, The Masonic Monthly Newspaper of the Four Districts in Central New York. To other Lodge Masters and to my Brother Freemasons With the hope that these letters help them in their Lodge work. Copyright 2019 About the Author Jorge Luis Romeu is a Master Mason, Initiated in January, in Estrada Palma Lodge, and Raised in his Island Lodge No. 56, Havana, Cuba, in April of 1969. These were difficult times to be a Mason, in Communist Cuba, especially for a young man. In 1980 Romeu moved to the US. The social and economic conditions of an immigrant, plus the differences between Masonic Rituals and language, made it difficult for him to join an American Lodge. However, he kept his links with individual Brethren and Masonic listserves. After a long hiatus, where he remained unaffiliated, Bro. Romeu joined the Jose Celso Barbosa Lodge No. 106, in Bayamon, San Juan, Puerto Rico, the land of his paternal family, where he regularly visited his brother and other family members. Romeu later joined Liverpool Syracuse Lodge No. 501, in the state of New York, where he resides and teaches. He was the Worshipful Master of Liverpool Syracuse Lodge 2018-2019. Bro. Romeu is a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason, with the Syracuse Valley, AASR, NMJ, and the Onondaga Masonic District Mentoring Chair, where he leads the North Star Mentoring Program.

Herbert Poole in collaboration with the present junior author.

In condensing the whole of the history of Freemasonry in all its aspects into 283 pages, the chief difficulty has beer this very task of compression and much fascinating detail has perforce had to be omitted.
