Race and Revolution AfroCubans in cuban history, Society and the Cuban Revolution. Overview. Various dimensions of cuban history and culture will be explored.
http://www.afrocubaweb.com/stmary.htm

Extractions: Afro-Cubans in Cuban History, Society and the Cuban Revolution Overview Cuba remains one of the most controversial and alluring countries. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc and the strengthening of the United States economic embargo, Cuba has occupied a prominent place on the world stage. Despite numerous predictions about imminent collapse, the Cuban Revolution and the government of President Fidel Castro continue to defy the conventional wisdom of the "experts". Indeed, the Cuban Revolution has not only been able to survive, but has also embarked on a period of sustained economic recovery. Moreover, Cuba continues to lead the Third World and compare very favourably with industrialized countries in many social indicators, most notably health and education. However, what is often ignored is the vital Afro-Cuban experience and contribution. The course encompasses a two-week study tour of Cuba and focuses on the Black Cuban experience within Cuban history, particularly the Cuban Revolution. The aim of the course is to connect the issues surrounding marginality and marginalized peoples, groups and collectives within development theory and praxis by examining and locating Cuba - specifically, the Afro-Cuban odyssey - in light of this body of thought and experience.

Extractions: 1492 to 1900 Here is a time line of Cuban history with links to resources both within this site and elsewhere. It is updated as we get suggestions and acquire more dates and links. This section covers up to 1900. See Time Line II for dates in the 20th and 21st century. We plan to expand the time line before 1492 to cover Native Cuba as soon as we get materials. Christopher Columbus "discovers" Cuba. The Genovese capo's favorite Caribbean money-maker: threaten to chop off Indians' hands off if they don't bring him enough gold. He did Meyer Lansky and Santos Traficante proud. Diego de Velázquez conquers Cuba, fighting the Taíno, the Arawak Ciboney, and other nations, then founds several towns, including Havana. In one gruesome episode, 2500 Taino welcome the Spaniards with a feast, then are slaughtered, disembowled, hacked to pieces until their blood runs as in a river. Hatuey, a Taíno chief who had come to Cuba from Hispaniola to warn his people of the Spaniards, is captured and burned at the stake. The first record of slavery in Cuba. Landowner Amador de Lares gets permission to bring four African slaves from Hispaniola.

http://www.cubasocialista.com/history.htm

Extractions: A century to be remembered: a synopsis of Cuban History THE 19th century ended badly for Cubans. In 1898, the United States opportunistic intervention in the war against Spanish colonial rule, which Cuban patriots were on the verge of winning, frustrated hopes for sovereignty and independence. In terms of time, more than 100 years have passed since then; but in terms of history, much more took place in this Caribbean island than in the 19 previous centuries. FROM SPANISH COLONY TO U.S. NEOCOLONY Tomás Estrada Palma's assumption of power on May 20, 1902, with the consent of the U.S. military governor, Leonard Wood, who ran the electoral process, signaled the start of the neocolonial republic in Cuba. With the dissolution of the Cuban Revolutionary Party on December 30, 1898, two days before the official start of the U.S. military occupation, the delegate Tomás Estrada Palma, successor to José Martí in the post, delivered a mortal blow to the yet to be born republic. Cuba was already in crisis at this point, mainly due to Spanish colonialism, but also because of the U.S. military occupation and its consequences of hunger, poverty and unemployment. The fragmentation of the national revolutionary political organization and ideological confusion, with evident distortions in the revolutionary and anti-imperialist thinking of José Martí, exacerbated the situation.

Extractions: Sugar and Railroads: A Cuban History, 1837-1959. By Oscar Zanetti and Alejandro Garcia. Translated by Franklin W. Knight and Mary Todd. (Chapel Hill and London: University of North Carolina Press, 1998. Pp. xxviii, 496. $59.95.) The work of University of Havana historians has not been widely disseminated since the 1960s. Even major works have not been translated. Sugar and Railroads is an example of work to which the North American scholarly community has had too little access. Set in a deterministic, though by no means simplistic, Marxism, the book offers access to a rich variety of Cuban archival sources. The goal is to demonstrate "the dialectical relationship between technology and the social conditions for its utilization" (xx). The story, however driven by material forces, is not a simple one. A wide variety of individuals and groups had to work out their compatible or incompatible goals. We read of the conflicts between such groups as the old Spanish merchants (in both Spain and Cuba), the old and new landowners on the island, and the native and foreign capitalists. The roles of technicians, bankers, and suppliers of railway equipment are also considered. Finally, there is an extensive treatment of the difficult shift from slave to free-market labor in the sugar industry, and the consequent rise of a railway proletariat. At many points there is useful information and illuminating insights for scholars who may not share the authors' perspective.

Extractions: schedule of events more about Sonidos: Cuba ... aco homepage "Cuban music clearly offers two sides of a coin: one directly nurtured by folkloric elements and popular (and subsequently commercial) forms of expression, and another, more abstract and complex, where composers from Cuba have followed the difficult route of art music." view Sonidos: Cuba schedule of events por Aurelio de la Vega Ya al final del siglo dieciocho esta mezcla musical hispano-africana produce una música bai-lable de poderosas raíces populares que, dentro de la órbita social secular, lentamente desplaza a las danzas europeas que habían constituido hasta entonces el entretenimiento fundamental de la nueva y emergente burguesía criolla. El compositor e investigador cubano Carlo Borbolla (1902-1990) afirma que el básico, seminal y siempre presente "tresillo cubano" (una semifusa, una fusa y otra semifusa, seguida ésta por dos fusas) apareció cuando los músicos populares interpretaban erróneamente, desde un punto de vista rímico, el tresillo europeo, el cual era un enunciado rítmico de dos contra tres en cómputo de tiempo igual. El siglo diecinueve es testigo de la rápida evolución de esa música danzable rítmicamente dife-rente de los modelos europeos, la cual ejerce una influencia decisiva en las sofisticadas obras de piano de Saumell y de Ignacio Cervantes (1847-1905), así como en la música fuertemente romántica de Nicolás Ruiz Espadero (1832- 1890). Es tambien durante este siglo diecinueve que Cuba produce sus primeros instrumentistas de renombre internacional, del pianista José Manuel ("Lico") Jiménez (1855-1917) y de la pianista y compositora Cecilia Aritzi (1856-1930) a los violinistas Claudio José Domingo Brindis de Salas (1852-1911) y José White (1836-1912).

Extractions: Cuban History History Christopher Columbus landed on the island of Cuba on October 28, 1492, during his initial westward voyage. In honour of the daughter of Ferdinand V and Isabella I of Spain, his benefactors, Columbus named it Juana, the first of several names he successively applied to the island. It eventually became known as Cuba, from its aboriginal name, Cubanascnan. Colonization by Spain When Columbus first landed on Cuba it was inhabited by the Ciboney, a friendly tribe related to the Arawak. Colonization of the island began in 1511, when the Spanish soldier Diego Velazquez established the town of Baracoa. Velázquez subsequently founded several other settlements, including Santiago de Cuba (1514) and Havana (1515). The Spanish transformed Cuba into a supply base for their expeditions to Mexico and Florida. As a result of savage treatment and exploitation, the aborigines became, by the middle of the 16th century, nearly extinct, forcing the colonists to depend on imported black slaves for the operation of the mines and plantations. Despite frequent raids by buccaneers and naval units of rival and enemy powers, the island prospered throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. Restrictions imposed by the Spanish authorities on commercial activities were generally disregarded by the colonists, who resorted to illicit trade with privateers and neighbouring colonies. Following the conclusion in 1763 of the Seven Years' War, during which the English captured Havana, the Spanish government liberalized its Cuban policy, encouraging colonization, expansion of commerce, and development of agriculture. Between 1774 and 1817 the population increased from about 161,000 to more than 550,000. The remaining restrictions on trade were officially eliminated in 1818, further promoting material and cultural advancement.

http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/vjw/Cuba.html

Extractions: Present-Day Jewish Life History It is unclear when the first Jews arrived in Cuba, some arrived after the expulsion from Spain in 1492 . Francisco Gomez de Leon, a Jew, was put on trial during the Inquisition in Havana. He was later executed in Cartagena and his large fortune was confiscated. There is little information about Jews in Cuba until the late 19 th century, when a larger Jewish community was formed. In the late 1800's, Jews from the Dutch Antilles settled in Cuba. They supported Jose Marti, who liberated Cuba from Spanish colonial rule in 1898. Following the Spanish American War, a number of American Jewish war veterans settled in Cuba and founded a congregation in Havana in 1904. Cuban Jews were involved in all aspects of Cuban society and economy. Jews were instrumental in the sugar cane business; they brought the sugar cane from Madeira to Brazil and to the Antilles. Jews also were the first ones to use a protective cloth used when growing tobacco to protect the plants from sun and wind. These protective coverings are still used today to produce the highest quality tobaccos leaves in the world. A large number of Jews immigrated to Cuba from 1910 until 1920, including

Yitzhak Rabin Additional Subjects Madame Mao: The White-Boned Demon Brawl: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Mixed Martial Arts Competition Michael Wintle Yves Charles Zarka ... Boarding Party: The Last Action of the Calcutta Light Horse Written by Marifeli Perez-Stable Customer Reviews This book provides an excellent background to social dynamics in Cuba before, during and after the Cuban Revolution, and does a good job analyzing its causes and consequences. It is indeed a must for anyone trying to understand the Revolution. The right wing exile community in Florida will not like this book because it is one of the few that consciously tries to be objective, but that should not dissuade other readers from purchasing this book. It is a bit too crammed with charts and statistics in places, which makes it cumbersome, but those sections are skimmable. I will certainly use it in my undergraduate classes. Despite attempts to keep an open mind, I grew increasingly annoyed at the omissions, exaggerations and half-truths passed off as researched facts in this book. The author calls Cuba - a country under a dictator which holds no elections - a "democracy" and extols the virtues of the revolution without ever presenting the views and the injustices perpetrated against those who opposed the revolution. It is a shame that a work which could have been an objective scholarly book instead is little better than a propaganda pamphlet.
