Illuminating Cuban Literature Spanish Professor Elzbieta Sklodowska introduces students to the myths, the magic, and the many layers of meaning in Cuban culture and literature. By Judy H. Watts H er lightly accented English lilts like her name, Elzbieta z like the whispery j in jardin or maharajah Sklodowska acknowledges that hers is "definitely not the most obvious research focus for someone who grew up in Cold-War Poland behind the Iron Curtain"—and some Americans, in particular, might be surprised at her choice. "In the United States, anything Cuban has a very peculiar attraction," says Sklodowska, the inaugural holder of the Raymond R. Randolph, Lee Schroth Randolph, Paula Schroth Krummenacher, and William R. Randolph Professorship. "On the one hand, people are fascinated and curious; on the other, many are fearful, anxious, and full of misconceptions about the country." Following an early love of languages
Sklodowska's intellectual journey has involved leaps and connections, circles and intersections. In Poland, which was largely isolated from the rest of the world by politics and language not spoken globally, the government strongly encouraged foreign-language study. Throughout high school, Sklodowska studied French and Latin as well as the required Russian, but Spanish was not offered until cultural doors opened between Poland and Spain in the late '70s, following Generalissimo Francisco Franco's death. When Sklodowska learned that the University of Warsaw planned to offer courses in Spanish, she thought, "I want to explore this!"

previous exhibitions The Rhythm of Cuba
An Exhibition Of Contemporary Cuban Culture
February 6 - March 7 2004
"What did we do during the missile crisis? - We danced "
    Cuba is a country where the fusion of different cultures has produced some of the world's greatest music and dance. The rhythms of Cuba are now famous the world over because of the success of Buena Vista Social Club and the popularity of Salsa dancing.
    In this remarkable exhibition, acclaimed photographer Ian Livesey and Cuban specialist Graham Henderson explore the roots of Afro-Cuban rhythm in the music and dance of Cuba, and in particular of Guantanamo, at the far eastern tip of the island.
    Beyond just music and dance, the exhibition also includes many iconic images of Cuba; glorious 1950's American cars cruising bustling side streets, crowds celebrating at a packed baseball game and candid shots of the unique people that make up Cuba's diverse and incredibly resilient communities.
    For many however, the true spirit of Cuba is discovered through it's celebrated tradition of dance and rhythm. From Salsa to Cha cha cha, Rumba to Son, The Rhythm of Cuba captures the incredibly seductive sounds and styles of Cuba's rich musical culture. And, during the project, Ian's relationship with Cuban dancing soon became something far beyond the lens - he met and fell in love with Jessica, a principal dancer with The Danza Libre Ballet Company.
    "Jessica just came across the room and asked me to dance," he recalls. "I said I didn't dance but she wouldn't take no for an answer. By the end of the dance I think I was already in love with her." Ian and Jessica were married a year later in Ian's home town of Wigan and Jessica is now a highly respected teacher of Cuban dance who works across the north west.

Oct. 30, 1996 FROM CUBA A GLANCE AT CUBAN CULTURE
By Lucas Garve, Cuba's Independent Press Agency (APIC). HAVANA, October 23, 1996 (APIC).- For several years now, October 20th was selected to mark the day of Cuban Culture. In Bayamo, the craddle city of the Cuban nation, on October 20th the citizens heard, for the first time, a piece of music which was, more than a song, more than a religious chant, had the makings of a belligerent anthemn. Such was the birth of the Cuban anthemn. Many Cubans of that era contributed, with their labor and their ideas, to the emergence of Cuban culture. Our own, indivisible and a product of the actions, acts and accomplishments of all the inhabitants of the island, to a greater or lesser degree. This genesis was possible through the efforts of the slaves and the wealthy landowners, the Chinese immigrants, Spaniards who made their fortunes here, the black slaves and the mulatto freemen, the Catholic clergy from a hundred different religious orders and even more, the fleet and the contraband, the infamous whip and the warmth of the slave woman's bossom, the wet and dry climate, the land of sugar, tobacco and rum, the idea of independence and Spain's intolerance. All of this and more turned the island in what it is today. From here we come and, to be ourselves we must take on all our past even in the knowledge that it goes further than Cuba's natural frontiers, the creative work of Cubans who create under other skies, but have not stopped being part of Cuba's cultural creativity as they create within the spirit and traits of what is Cuban.

Creating alternative Cuban culture
Refugees brought their art, music, theater and dance with them Octavio Roca, San Francisco Chronicle Dance Critic. Sunday, September 16, 2001 The problem with the American melting pot myth is that a lot of us just don't want to melt. I am Cuban, born in Havana. I am considered Hispanic on the East Coast and Latino here. And I am proud to be an American. I probably have about as much in common with other Americans of Hispanic background such as Argentines or Mexicans as any Anglophone Californian has with an Australian or a Jamaican. My story is like that of a lot of Cuban Americans, but it is not typical of the lives of others who bring different accents, different memories and different goals to the American dream. There is no single defining narrative for the Latino experience. As statistical fictions go, "Latino" is a useful term. But as a cultural entity, Hispanics cover the globe from the Pyrenees to Tierra del Fuego, and we come in all colors. Closer to home, we are the most diverse ethnic group in this vast multiethnic nation. Yet surely we can come up with ways to embrace our unity as Americans across our ethnic and racial differences, if only because it is these differences that constantly redefine and enrich the dazzling mosaic of American culture.

By Michele Reaves Journal Staff Local News - Monday, June 21, 2004 By Michele Reaves Journal Staff ITHACA Residents will get a taste of Cuban culture, art and learn about the restrictions blocking that nation from our own this week as a small group of Ithaca residents worked to raise awareness on Cuban-American relations. Cuba Friendship Week, which started Saturday, includes art exhibits at the See Spot Gallery and Wessex-Bristol Gallery on The Commons and films in the Bernie Milton Center Pavilion. Planners want residents "to see the kind of ties there are between Cuba and our community," said Cris McConkey, a member of the Social Justice Council of the Ithaca Unitarian Church, one of the planning organizations. "It's such a warm place. The culture and people soon take over and win you over." He first became interested in the island nation in the early 1990s, becoming involved with social issues and learning about their jazz music.

Early days: Importation
Initially hip hop was viewed with suspicion, not just by the government, but by many in the community as well. With raperos emulating US rappers' aggressive posturing and lyrical content, hip hop was seen as just another cultural invasion from the US, bringing with it the violence and problems of the ghettos Gradually this began to change as raperos began to express their own reality and make use of traditional Cuban culture. edit
Birth of a Cuban scene
The change in both attitude towards hip hop and the move towards home grown expression was in part facilitated by the involvement of Nehanda Abiodun , a U.S.

Caribbean Cuba Culture ... Art
Culture, Art
Cuban painting began in earnest in the 18th century with such artists as Jose Nicolas de la Escalera and Vicente Escobar. Late 18th- and early 19th-century artists were influenced by newly developed European and American printing techniques in lithography, a process that reproduced paintings cheaply. Suddenly the middle class was able to afford art, and artists created works for a new audience. Costumbrismo, an art form that satirized social types within Cuban society, was particularly popular beginning in the 1840s and 1850s. Victor Patricio de Landaluze, a painter and cartoonist, is the most recognized artist of this type. His oil paintings and watercolors stereotype the farmer, landowner, slave, and Afro-Cuban santeros (religious practitioners). Romantic landscape painting also characterized this period and idealized nationalism not in political terms but in an attachment to the island’s natural habitat. With the introduction of European avant-garde styles in the 1920s and 1930s, a new generation of painters, such as Victor Manuel, Eduardo Abela, and Carlos Enriquez, concerned themselves with black and mulatto components of Cuban society. Their interests complemented anthropologist Fernando Ortiz’s argument that Afro-Cuban culture formed the distinguishing aspect of Cuban identity. Other painters, such as Fidelio Ponce de Leon or Aristides Fernandez, followed a different path by depicting certain dramatic or religious aspects of the human condition. Post-1930s painters such as Amelia Pelaez, Rene Portocarrero, and Mariano Rodriguez were linked to the literary group of Origenes and depicted modern, abstract variations of typically Cuban architecture features, such as domestic interiors, stained glass windows, and church facades.

Contacts: Jill Carnell Danseco, UWT Public Relations, (253) 692-4536 UW-Cuba study abroad to begin Winter 2006
Applications being accepted for new 10-week student program The governments of Cuba and the United States have formally approved the exchange program between UW Tacoma and the University of Cienfuegos. The program is open to students on any of the three UW campuses. In the past, Duncan has taken UWT students on one-week trips to Cienfuegos. New U.S. laws now prohibit student visits to Cuba lasting fewer than 10 weeks. The extended schedule required serious modifications to the old exchange program. Students in the program will study Spanish language, Cuban culture, history and society and the psychology of cultural transition. In addition, they will work with tutors on an individual research project. Participants will live with Cuban families and should expect to live as the Cubans live in order to have a full exchange experience. Only full-time, degree-seeking UW students will be accepted into the program. Incoming freshmen or transfer students with fewer than 20 hours of UW credit may not participate. The U.S. government does not permit UW staff or alumni to attend, and participants are not allowed to bring family members or friends unless they are full-time, degree-seeking UW students. The cost of this program is $4,500. Participants will earn 15 credits. For more information about this and other UWT international programs or to apply, please visit

http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~drclas/publications/revista/women/gonzalez.htm
Winter 1998 Black or Mulata? Reading Woman in Contemporary Cuban Culture A But I found myself drawn to the culture of my native Cuba, and in summer, 1995, I attended a theoretical workshop led by Cuban novelist and critic Antonio Benítez Rojo at the Caribbean Writers Summer Institute at the University of Miami. That summer was very formative in the formulation of my current research, "Mulata/Black Woman? Reading Woman in Contemporary Cuban Culture," which I am developing this academic year as a book-length project at the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for Afro-American Research at Harvard. This extremely supportive environment is allowing me to dedicate myself to research and writing, to examine the changing images of women in Cuban cultural imagination and to relate it to my own experience as a Cuban woman. I am exploring the ways in which Cuban writers and filmmakers since the 1960s have revised the stereotypical image of the mulata to transform her into a woman with a voice, capable of reconstituting her unrecorded historical involvement and her presence in the nation's actual political and cultural realities. The literary figures of mulata and black woman encompass a wide-ranging array of issues involving authority, race, gender, and genre. These issues have always characterized cultural discourse in Cuba and other Caribbean countries, but appear to intensify in these literary and film interpretations, as I first discovered in the 1995 Miami workshop. The theoretical framework provided by this workshop came alive in cultural and experiential terms for me in the summer of 1996 when I traveled to Cuba to participate in a two-week study program called "African Heritage in the Americas." Headed by Professor Julyanne Dodson of the University of Colorado, the program aimed to give academics an in-depth introduction to African and Afro-Caribbean belief systems and cultures. Traveling through most of the island and meeting with Cubans of Afro-Cuban descent was an extraordinary experience. I got to talk with prominent women in the Cuban-Haitian community near Bayamo, to appreciate folk art developing out of the santería religion, and to listen to the voices of the old and young.
