Extractions: BY MIREYA CASTAÑEDA Granma International staff writer TWO names have followed singer Daniel Santos throughout his career. The first was bestowed upon him in Havana: a restless Anacobero, meaning an imp or bohemian. Either one could be used to describe him and to reflect upon his intense and difficult life. Much later, having triumphed, Colombians called him El Jefe (The Boss). Doubtless an exceptional figure of Latin American song, Daniel Santos (Puerto Rico, 1916 United States, 1992) remains an almost unforgettable figure today. But it is not the complete story of his life and career that concerns us now. For those interested, there are several biographies, not including his fatefully prophetic autobiography

Extractions: Sun-Sentinel By Vivian Sequera, Associated Press. Web-posted: 12:17 p.m. June 27, 2000 CARDENAS, Cuba With hope that the Elian Gonzalez saga will soon be over, Cubans said Tuesday the 6-year-old has already entered into Cuba's history as a symbol of one of the few instances in four decades in which the U.S. and Cuban governments have seen eye-to-eye. Both governments said the young shipwreck survivor deserved to be with his father, who wants him returned to Cuba, and both opposed efforts by Miami relatives to keep him in the United States. "I cannot remember another time in which Washington and Havana have been in agreement," said Pedro Noda, a 59-year-old retired construction worker in Elian's hometown Cardenas, about 90 miles east of Havana. "They both said the boy belonged with his father," Noda said as he brought his two fifth-grade granddaughters to Elian's school where they were finishing up their final exams for the year. Elian's Miami relatives on Monday took their bid to keep him in America to the Supreme Court, which was expected to decide whether to review the case. A stay preventing the boy from leaving the country expires at 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Extractions: CUBAN E T Zenit, December 24 Declarations of Cardinal Jaime Ortega, Archbishop of Havana HAVANA, 24 dec (ZENIT)- "It has been a very special year for us: first the Pope's visit, which is summed up in one phrase, or rather one program: that Cuba open itself to the world, and that the world open itself to Cuba. Now this Christmas, which has been restored as a national holiday." Cardinal Jaime Ortega, Archbishop of Havana, made these comments to the Italian newspaper "Avvenire" regarding the incredible year 1998 in the Caribbean island. The Cardinal stressed the importance of this feast for Cubans. "For us, in the light of our history, it is a great event. Christmas has once again become institutional in Cuba. It is one sign that is added to others. This year, we have been able to hold various processions, and authorization has been granted through normal channels. Some towns, such as San Nicolás and Tapaste have celebrated their patron saints. People have taken up again their own traditions and the Church has acquired, in a certain sense, its habitual scope of action." The Cardinal feels that the fruits of the Pope's visit are evident. "As the president of our Episcopal Conference recently said, relations between the Church and State had been 'formally' good, and now they have begun to be formally better. President Castro received the president of the Episcopal Conference and communicated to him, before announcing to the press, his decision to institutionalize Christmas. Permission has been granted for 43 priests and religious to enter the country, and among them are some Cubans who were forced into exile. Throughout this year, we have had other opportunities for meetings with civil authorities on various levels. The meetings have gone smoother, and we have been able to speak and present our demands and petitions."

Extractions: Introduction: Series TwoCuban History and Literature, Part One: Serials and Printed Materials from Harvard University The periodicals, books, and pamphlet publications collected here provide a unique window on Cuban culture from the early-19th century through the 1920s and 1930s. Cubas large population of literate crillollos or creoles supported an active publishing industry that offered almanacs, gazettes, magazines for women, literary journals, books, and more. Preserved here on microfilm are a wide variety of these publications. The serial publications include many complete or near complete runs of major magazines such as El Album , and hard-to-find short-lived periodicals such as the literary periodical La lira de apolo . These provide insights into the taste and preoccupations of the creole classes who were their target audiences. Filmed from the collections of Harvard College Library, this collection gives users access to hard-to-find materials, supporting research not only on Cuban, but on Caribbean and Latin American history in all of its aspects: from literature to economics to science to womens issues.

http://www.iisg.nl/exhibitions/chairman/cubintro.html

Extractions: With a small rebel army, Fidel Castro seizes power in Cuba by the end of 1958. Although he tries to take an independent line, he must deal with significant Russian influence on the new regime. The socialist realist posters from the early years attest to this influence. Around 1965, in a period of strained relations with the Soviet Union, the Cubans decide to develop styles more suitable to their own circumstances. A period of artistic freedom follows. The arts flourish, and there are lively international contacts. Talented Cuban artists start designing colourful, inventive posters of traditional subjects such as commemorations of the revolution or calls for more production. The Cuban leaders are portayed as cheerful and unconventional. Especially striking are the splendid posters issued by cultural organizations such as the ICAIC, the Cuban film institute. OSPAAAL, the organization for solidarity with the people of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, distributes its posters worldwide. Che Guevara's portrait is transformed into an international symbol for romantic rebellion. In the 1970s the liveliness becomes less marked. Artistic freedom is subordinated to the spreading of the proper revolutionary morality. Ties with the Soviet Union are tightened in the same period. A unique chapter in the history of the political poster comes to an end.

http://www.cwo.com/~lucumi/history.htm

Extractions: Cuba Topic Brief Cultural History Yoruba Arará Abakuá Kongo U ntil the last decades of the 18th Century, Cuba was a relatively underdeveloped island with an economy based mainly on cattle raising and tobacco farms. The intensive cultivation of sugar that began at the turn of the nineteenth century transformed Cuba into a plantation society, and the demand for African "slaves", who had been introduced into Cuba from Spain at the beginning of the 16th century, increased dramatically. The slave trade with the West African coast exploded, and it is estimated that almost 400,000 Africans were brought to Cuba during the years 1835-1864. [That's roughly 1150 per month for 29 years!] In 1841, African slaves made up over 40% of the total population. The late flourishing of the Cuban sugar industry and the persistence of the slave trade into the 1860s are two important reasons for the remarkable density and variety of African cultural elements in Cuba. Fernando Ortiz Counted the presence of over one hundred different African ethnic groups in 19th century Cuba, and estimated that by the end of that century fourteen distinct "nations" had preserved their identity in the mutual aid associations and social clubs known as cabildos

On October 27th, 1492, Christopher Columbus landed on Cuba, called Cubanacán by the natives who lived there. He found about 50,000 of them—the Ciboney and Guanahatabey in the west and the Taíno elsewhere. Thinking he had reached India, Columbus dubbed these natives "Indians," renamed the island Juana in honor of Prince Juan of Portugal, and, leaving the island undisturbed, sailed on to Hispaniola (present-day Haiti and Dominican Republic), where he founded the first Spanish settlement in the New World. encomienda was established whereby each conquistador was granted a set number of Indians who had to pay tribute to the encomendero (grantee), while the grantee was responsible for the Indians' welfare and Christianization.

Living on borders and in margins, keeping intact one's shifting multiple identity and integrity, is like trying to swim in a new element, an "alien" element . . . not comfortable but home. For those of us accustomed to navigating the fluid borders dividing our "Cuban" and "American" cultural identities, the condition of being both and neither at the same time is indeed not comfortable but home. We are, in Gustavo Perez Firmat's catchy phrase, "born in Cuba, made in the U.S.A." We are members of that group referred to as the "one-and-a-half" generation, a designation that, like "Generation X" or "Baby Boomer," reduces some aspect of human experience to a ready sound bite. The phrase attempts to capture the "in-between" status of cubanos/as who immigrated to the States as children or adolescents and have lived, as Firmat calls it, "on the hyphen." As part of that "in-between" generation, I came to understand that how I see myself how others classify me fluctuates according to context and perspective.

Rather, its a tribute, an homage to the thousands of Cuban anarchists who worked over the course of more than a century to build a freer, juster world, and who, but for this book, would remain almost entirely forgotten.

He is also the author of the book, , which deals with a pivotal event in Spanish and Cuban history, the assassination of the Spanish premier Cánovas del Castillo in 1897. Twenty years after this Cuban disaster, large numbers of the worlds anarchists (including many Cubans) threw their support to the Bolshevik government after the 1917 Russian revolution. Despite growing evidence of the brutal, totalitarian nature of the Communist regime, many anarchists continued to support it until well into the 1920s, when two well known and respected anarchists, Alexander Berkman (in The Russian Tragedy and The Bolshevik Myth ) and Emma Goldman (in My Disillusionment in Russia and My Further Disillusionment in Russia ) revealed the truth. Even then, some anarchists refused to surrender their illusions about the nature of the workers state.

Yesterday I heard it, rising from the earth itself, as I crossed the dreary afternoon on my way to this faithful town . . . Amidst the shredded clouds, a pine tree defied the storm and thrust the stately trunk upwards. Suddenly, the sun broke through a forest clearing, and there, by a swift flash of light I saw, rising from the yellowed grass amidst the blackened trunks of the fallen pines, the joyful shoots of the new pines. That's what we are: new pines!" The expedition was unmasked by an informer and the ships confiscated by the U. S. government In the often paradoxical ways of publicity, however, the realization that Marti had, after all, managed to organize so ambitious a scheme, galvanized the separatist movement. Colonial authorities in Havana and Madrid were jolted. mambises , as the Cuban insurgents were called, was not so much the Spanish army as the island's economy. Their aim was to paralyze economic activity, thereby bringing the colony to a standstill, making it useless to Spain. As Maximo Gomez said, the mambises' best weapon was the torch.
Why The Cuban Trade Embargo Should Be Maintained
Article by the Heritage Foundation's John Sweeney, providing an overview of the history and effects of the embargo and arguing for its extension.
http://www.heritage.org/Research/TradeandForeignAid/BG1010.cfm

Extractions: With the end of the Cold War and collapse of the Soviet Union, there has been a growing chorus of cries for the United States to lift the economic embargo on Cuba. This chorus has included even such responsible anti-communist voices as those of former President Richard Nixon and the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal. Such calls are curious, coming as they are just when it appears that the 32-year-old embargo may be bearing fruit. Five years after losing the financial patronage of the former Soviet Union, Fidel Castro's communist regime is facing severe shortages and growing popular discontent. Cuba's economy has shrunk by more than half since 1989, the black market is more dynamic than the formal command economy controlled by the state, and Fidel Castro's efforts to build a huge tourism industry and attract billions of dollars in new foreign investments have proved dismal failures. This economic collapse has imperiled the stability of the Castro regime. The Soviet Union's demise robbed Castro of his ideological base and about $4.5 billion a year in direct subsidies, exposing the complete failure of the communist revolution to improve the lives of the Cuban people. Moreover, as the economy's collapse has accelerated, popular discontent has increased to levels that threaten the survival of the regime. That was made clear in August, when thousands of Cubans rioted in Havana's Old Waterfront district, and by the subsequent flight to sea of more than 30,000 Cubans of all ages. Another indication that Castro's grip on power is slipping is the increased repression of organized dissident groups by Cuban security forces.
