Extractions: fax: (504) 862-8678 The Cuban and Caribbean Studies Institute, a part of Tulane's Stone Center for Latin American Studies In the Spring of 2002, the Institute's name changed from the "Cuban Studies Institute" to its current name to reflect the expansion of its scope to Cuban and Caribbean Studies. The Institute's intent is to continue developing great strength in Cuban and other Caribbean programming as these areas are enriched by Tulane's new faculty lines and considerable student interest. As part of Tulanes Stone Center for Latin American Studies, the Institute is affiliated with faculty throughout most schools and departments on campus and has been able to collaborate with other faculty / departments in the promotion and sponsorship of Caribbean programming. Academic Programs Presently, the Cuban and Caribbean Studies Institute operates Tulane's Summer in Cuba Program, the first and largest undergraduate program ever nationally offered by a U.S. Center for Latin American Studies. The Cuban and Caribbean Studies Institute also offers speakers series, symposia, and conferences to the academic community and general public, where experts on Cuba and the Caribbean are invited to Tulane to discuss the culture, literature, visual arts, performance arts - particularly theatre and music, history, economics and other issues of interest. Reflecting our commitment to community outreach, these events are publicized on all major university campuses in New Orleans as well as in the non-academic community.

You'll see many Cubans at Vizcaya, especially on Sundays when it's a tradition to bring out-of-town guests here. Vizcaya was built between 1912 and 1916 as the winter residence of James Deering, a very rich Chicago industrialist. He was one of the founders of the International Harvester Company, which must have made a lot of tractors to pay for this place! If you've ever spent a winter in Chicago, you'll understand why he spent all this dough for a winter escape! Deering loved Italian architecture, which is featured throughout the house and attached gardens. The mansion, formal gardens and grounds cover 30 acres overlooking Biscayne Bay. The house includes 70 rooms, many filled with paintings, antiques, and sculpture. A Place without Seasons Three Guys from Miami? How about Two Guys and a Girl from Miami? Three Miami theater students have hit the big time with an invitation to perform their original work in the 8th annual New York International Fringe Festival. FringeNYC is the largest multi-arts festival in North America, with more than 200 theater companies from all over the world performing for 16 days Ghost Heart Reviewed by Jorge Castillo Quite naturally, we read a lot of books about Cuba. Many of the books we read are heartfelt recollections of the pre-Castro days of Cuba. As memoirs, they give great insights into a life and culture that no longer exists in Cuba today. However, many of the Cuba-themed books we read lack a strong literary focus. That's why it was very refreshing to discover a work of fiction that is not only well written, but remains true to its Cuban roots.

I have spent a number of years surfing here and found that if you can be in the right spot at the right time you can get some great waves for yourself T he eastern end of the island is the most constant with the best months being late September, October, November and December. With northeasterly fronts travelling down the length of Cuba which in turn forms good surf on the northern shores. Combined with large tropical storms in the Caribbean sea providing good ground swell and this also gives the Guantanamo province the best surf in Cuba.
