    Extractions: It is thought that humans first came to the Cuban island from South America around 3500 BC. These people were fishers and hunter-gatherers, and were joined some time later by the agricultural Arawak people. By the time the Spanish arrived in the late 15 th century, three-quarters of Cuba’s 100,000 indigenous people were Taino-speaking Arawaks. The Arrival of the Spanish Christopher Columbus sighted Cuba on October 27, 1492 and was enamoured by "the most beautiful land human eyes have ever seen". Nonetheless, the Spanish bypassed Cuba and instead established their first base at Santo Domingo on Hispaniola. In 1512, Diego Veláquez de Cuéllar led a 300-member party from Hispaniola to Cuba to claim it for the Spanish Crown. Within two years he had established seven settlements. encomienda system, which essentially enslaved indigenous people under the pretext that they were receiving religious instruction. By 1542, when the system was abolished, the deadly combination of exploitation and European diseases had slashed the indigenous population from 100,000 to around 5,000.

    Extractions: Miami's Cuban History The intertwined histories of Florida and Cuba have continued to unfold in the 20 th century. Thousands of Cuban émigrés began to arrive in Miami in 1959, reacting to the establishment of a new dictatorial regime in their native land. They considered themselves exiles, not immigrants, because they sought temporary relief from the political, social and economic turmoil that beset Cuba when Fidel Castro took power in 1959. Between 1966 and 1973, Freedom Flights brought nearly 300,000 Cubans to the United States. Many moved to New York, New Jersey and California but most settled in Florida. Thousands also arrived in boats from Port Camarioca in 1965. This was a foreshadowing of the massive exodus of Cubans from Mariel Harbor in 1980, and the thousands of rafters that crossed the Florida straits in the 1990s. During the 1950s and '60s, Cubans arriving in

    Extractions: Key West's Cuban History Before the arrival of Spanish explorers, Key West had been occupied by Calusa Indians. During the first Spanish period, a few Spanish families lived in Key West. They, along with some eighty Indian families, relocated to Cuba in 1763 when Britain took control of Florida. From time to time, Cubans and Bahamians visited the island and surrounding waters to fish, salvage wrecks and cut lumber. In 1821, the island was granted to Juan Pablo Salas by Spain, who sold it to American businessman John Simonton for $2,000 that same year. The transaction took place in a cafe in Havana, and thus began the modern history of Key West. Thousands of Cubans fled to Key West at the onset of the Ten Years' War in 1868. With great skill and ideal conditions, Cubans transformed the cigar industry in Key West into a major enterprise. Small shops called chinchales sprang up all over town. By the 1870s, 29 factories produced more than 62 million cigars annually. The economy prospered and the population soared with the success of the cigar industry in Key West.

    Extractions: The 1990s There have been three basic waves of Cubans coming to the U.S. The Cubans who emigrated to the United States during this period came for both political and economic reasons. They tended to be disillusioned with the direction or pace of change in Cuba within the revolution, as distinct from the earlier arrivals that were against the revolution in toto. The economic refugees in this wave tended to be less educated and less well off than the earlier wave and included "undesirables" such as criminals (political and otherwise), homosexuals, and mentally ill persons that Castro had taken advantage of the situation to expel from Cuba. This was of course the period of the Mariel boatlift, which we will discuss below in the context of Cuban history. This group of Cubans, which became known as the

    Extractions: History Introduction When the Nationalist Government banned the African National Congress (ANC) on 8 April 1960, the ANC began operating underground in South Africa. Outside the country the ANC started to establish itself as the official voice of South Africa's voteless masses. By the 1970s recognition of the ANC's legitimacy was growing, not only amongst the multiplicity of non-governmental anti-apartheid organizations, but also among foreign governments. The first missions were opened in London, Accra, Cairo, and Dar-es-Salaam. By 1980, the ANC had offices and representatives in 32 countries. The external missions worked to win support for the overthrow of apartheid by promoting the cause of the ANC and urging international economic pressure against the South African government. The missions also provided assistance to South African exiles. Following the banning of the organisation, Oliver Tambo, President General of the ANC left South Africa to head of the ANC's external operations. On 2 February 1990 the bans on the ANC and other political organisations were lifted. A process of negotiations between the unbanned organisations and the South African government ensued. In 1992 the ANC instructed its missions to collate and box their records for shipment to South Africa. These records were to form the basis of the official archives of the ANC, from which a true history of the ANC's role in the struggle against apartheid could be written.

    Extractions: When Christopher Columbus arrived in Cuba for the first time on the 27th of October, 1492, and sailed around the Cuban Northeastern coast during forty days, he not only found a lush vegetation, but also peaceful and naive aboriginals presenting him with cotton, a sort of spin yarn and small pieces of gold, all of which they would trade for valueless trinkets. Two years later, when exploring the South coast of Cuba during his second trip, the Admiral would realize there were several groups of indigenous inhabitants. The natives from the East of the country that were travelling with him could not understand the language of those that lived in the Western region. Indeed, settlements in the island started four thousand years before with several migrations: the firsts, most probably coming from the North through Florida, and then several migration waves most probably coming from the Orinoco River through the arc of the Antilles. Spanish settlers established the raising of cattle, sugarcane, and tobacco as Cuba's primary economic pursuits. As the native Indian population died out, African slaves were imported to work the ranches and plantations. Slavery was abolished in 1886.

    Extractions: Course Description: Experience the rich history and exciting vibrant culture of Mexico's "Heroic City". Veracruz is where the Olmec, the mother culture of the Americas, first emerged 1,000 years before Christ. The Olmeca culture gave birth to the Totonac, Mayan, Tolteca, and Aztec cultures of Mexico. It was also the first city that was founded by the Spanish and where Hernan Cortez first landed on his way to conquer the Aztec empire in 1519. It was subsequently invaded by the armies of France and twice by the United States. It became and remains Mexico's most unique multicultural diverse city that reflects the mixing of Indigineous, African, and European cultures Field trips will be taken to the many historical and archeological sites throughout the state of Veracruz, including the pyramids of "El Tajin", the fortress of San Juan de Ulua, and one of Mexico's finest museums of anthropology in Jalapa, the capitol of the state of Veracruz. The class will also participate in the Veracruz annual International Festival of Afro-Caribbean culture. The course will critically examine the multiracial roots of Mexican culture. In particular it will focus on the racial and cultural evolution that has taken place in the Veracruz region of Mexico. Starting with the ancient indigenous peoples that first populated the region and the African and European peoples who arrived after the conquest of Mexico by Spain.

Cuba History (abstract) Historical Review Independence The presidential election of 1944 resulted in victory for Grau San Martin, the candidate of a broad coalition of parties. The first year of his administration was one of recurring crises caused by various factors, including widespread food shortages, but he regained popularity the following year by obtaining an agreement with the U.S. government for an increase in the price of sugar. In March 1952 former president Batista, supported by the army, seized power. Batista suspended the constitution, dissolved the congress, and instituted a provisional government, promising elections the following year. Batista's opponent, Grau San Martin, withdrew from the campaign just before the election, charging that his supporters had been terrorized. Batista was thus reelected and on his inauguration February 24, 1955 On December 2, 1956, Fidel Castro came in Granma yacht, and then Fidel continued the struggle in the mountains, where he organized the 26th of July Movement, so called to commemorate the 1953 uprising. For the next year Castro's forces, using guerrilla tactics, opposed the Batista government and won popular support. On March 17, 1958, Castro called for a general revolt. His forces made steady gains through the remainder of the year, and on January 1, 1959, Batista resigned and fled the country. The Cuban revolution had triumphed.

Sugar, slavery, nationalism, colonialism and peasant mobilization will receive special attention as the most important building blocks of the island's history during this period. In the twentieth century, we will examine the overwhelming influence of the United States over Cuba's continuing sugar economy, class structure and political life. In the final part of the course we will closely examine the origins and trajectory of the Cuban revolution. REQUIREMENTS:
