Never Thaw that coming! US strategy toward Cuba under Obama and Trump

John de Bhal | April 17, 2018

Barack Obama’s trip to Cuba in 2016 marked the first US Presidential visit to the island nation since 1928. The trip was a product of the ‘Thaw’ in US-Cuba relations, announced by Obama himself in December 2014. Indeed, the announcement marked the first time that the two states have shared [...]

Fidel Castro, the Cuban Revolution and its lessons for Latin America

Rodrigo Acuña | December 20, 2016

Time to reflect on Fidel’s legacy

Marce Cameron | December 2, 2016

Struggle over the Cuban press intensifies

Marce Cameron | September 23, 2016

On August 4, I posted my translation of Cuban intellectual Esteban Morales’ response to the explosive intervention by the 37-year-old Granma deputy editor, Karina Marron, at a meeting of the Cuban Journalists Union (UPEC) on June 28. I then translated Marron’s leaked intervention [...]

The Repeating Barrio

Sujatha Fernandes | September 9, 2016

The 2014 film Canción de Barrio tells a dark story about those who are being left out of the promises of liberty and prosperity in the new Cuba.

The urban slums have always been a source of vexation for the Cuban revolution. During the seventies, the revolution [...]

Afro-Cuban Activists Fight Racism Between Two Fires

Sujatha Fernandes | September 2, 2016

They’re caught between a government that denies the existence of racism and fellow black Cubans who lack racial consciousness.

On May 4, the Network of Afro-descendant Women convened an urgent meeting of activists, academics, and members of organisations fighting [...]
