Desde hace más de una década comenzaron las travesías en bicicleta y siempre estaba en agenda poder transitar Cuba, pero por diversos motivos, otros destinos fueron prioritarios. Luego sucedió la muerte de Fidel y esto apuró la decisión para poder conocer el país antes de que grandes cambios se dieran. Con la experiencia ganada de transitar otros países en bicicleta, con el ojo acostumbrado y el espíritu abierto a otras realidades, llegó el momento de transitar la isla a puro pedal. Nunca fue el objetivo de andar por las zonas preparadas para el turismo, sino buscar el contacto con los ciudadanos y campesinos, vivir su realidad, compartir sus tiempos y sueños, cosa que sucedió en largas charlas. El libro expresa por un lado lo vivido, dejando de lado los prejuzgamientos que miradas hegemónicas ponen en nuestras mentes; andar con libertad por caminos poco transitados, recibir el saludo emocionado de los peones de caña de azúcar, que al ver la bandera argentina nos recibían como hermanos que le habíamos cedido a la persona ejemplar de su patria como lo es el Che. Por otro, revela una geografía impensada; sus playas y mares son lo conocido pero sus sierras, mogotes, pantanos y praderas hacen diversa una pequeña tierra. La travesía fue un dejarnos llevar de un lugar a otro por carreteras casi para nosotros solos, compartiendo sus viviendas, comprando en los mismos mercados, escuchando las voces, viviendo sus tiempos que corren sin apuro. De sus muros que hablan, aprendimos sobre historia, valores, y la prioridad de lo colectivo por sobre todas las cosas. Este texto es una invitación a sumergirse en una sociedad distinta, ni mejor ni peor; relatada desde la experiencia y vista desde la velocidad de la bicicleta.

"A moving testament, his narrative provides an insider's look at the Castro regime's personality cult, its indoctrination of children and surveillance of ordinary Cubans. " - Publishers Weekly In December 1992 Orestes Lorenzo undertook the most daring journey of his life. More than a year earlier, while a major in the Cuban Air Force, he had escaped from Cuba by flying a MiG to the United States, and for twenty-one frantic months had been trying to get permission for his wife, Vicky, and their two sons to join him. When all his attempts to gain their freedom failed, Orestes decided to go back and rescue his family himself. Meanwhile, Vicky had been undergoing a terrifying ordeal back in Cuba, where the authorities were pressuring her to denounce her husband as a traitor. They informed her that she would never be allowed to leave, and that Raul Castro himself had declared: "If Lorenzo had the guts to leave with one of my MiGs, maybe he has the guts to come back and get his family." Desperate, Orestes Lorenzo did just that, flying an old twin-engine Cessna across the straits of Florida, avoiding Cuban radar, and landing on a busy highway in a breathtaking rescue. Wings of Morning is Lorenzo's account of this astonishing feat, but it is also the unforgettable odyssey of a young man growing up during the euphoria of the Cuban Revolution, marrying his sweetheart, and going off to train as a fighter pilot in the Soviet Union. Lorenzo movingly describes his growing disillusionment with communism, his religious awakening amidst the revelations of Perestroika, and the near-death of his beloved Vicky, as well as his increasing conviction that he must not let his children grow up in a country that denies any dignity or spiritual values in the individual, in the family, and to society.

Cuba no século XXI: dilemas da revolução é o resultado de uma pesquisa realizada por um grupo de trinta e três investigadores de várias universidades brasileiras (Unifesp, USP, Unicamp, Unirio, UFRR e Unila) e de diferentes áreas do conhecimento (Relações Internacionais, História, Economia), nos marcos da terceira edição do Programa de Extensão "Realidade Latino-Americana" da Unifesp. Em fevereiro de 2016, demos início a um calendário de estudos coletivos, leituras e palestras, ocorridas no auditório da biblioteca do Memorial da América Latina, em São Paulo, instituição que apoia o programa desde a sua primeira edição. Após dez meses de trabalho, finalizamos esse ciclo de formação com uma "oficina de formulação de perguntas", buscando indagar sobre a realidade cubana do século XXI em perspectiva histórica. Munidos de uma agenda de investigação coletiva, viajamos a Cuba na primeira quinzena de dezembro de 2016, onde realizamos mais de trinta entrevistas com pesquisadores, movimentos, dirigentes políticos e instituições especializadas. Não foi menos importante o que o grupo chamou de "agenda invisível", isto é, as conversas com os cubanos que participaram de nosso cotidiano, nas ruas, feiras, praças, restaurantes e demais espaços públicos. O acaso nos proporcionou que a viagem ocorresse poucos dias depois do falecimento de Fidel Castro, em um momento delicado da história cubana, o que também contribuiu para captarmos a sensibilidade e o sentido das mudanças em curso. Em outras palavras, esse livro é resultado de um processo que combinou formação teórica, elaboração coletiva e investigação de campo. Com ele, pretendemos trazer informações e análises atualizadas sobre a ilha no século XXI e os dilemas da sua revolução, em um mundo cada vez mais distante daquele que a gestou. Nosso propósito é dialogar com as dúvidas e inquietações que os brasileiros carregam a respeito da história cubana e do socialismo latino-americano. Todos os capítulos são guiados por perguntas, para as quais apresentamos aproximações e hipóteses, sem nenhuma pretensão de esgotamento. Segundo nossa percepção sobre o debate público brasileiro a respeito de Cuba, algumas dessas perguntas costumam ser evitadas pelo senso comum de esquerda e vulgarizadas pelo senso comum de direita, sendo este um dos fatores que nos motivou a escrever o livro. Nesse sentido, nosso objetivo é alargar e aprofundar o debate sobre Cuba no Brasil, oferecendo mais elementos informativos e analíticos ao público, buscando fugir de polarizações fáceis. Por isso também, os capítulos nunca ultrapassam dez páginas, podendo assim ser lidos coletivamente em salas de aula, universitárias ou escolares. Alguns exemplos das questões levantadas podem ser vistos no sumário: Cuba é uma democracia? É um país pobre? É um país desenvolvido? Há censura na ilha? Como a juventude se relaciona com a revolução? Quem se beneficia da reaproximação entre Cuba e Estados Unidos? Qual a participação do capital estrangeiro na ilha? Qual a força das empresas privadas? Com essas e outras perguntas buscamos criar um panorama dos dilemas da revolução cubana no século XXI. Os autores desse livro formam um grupo politicamente diverso, mas que encontram pontos em comum na defesa do pensamento crítico, no compromisso com a transformação social e na rejeição aos dogmatismos. A partir desta perspectiva, entregamos ao leitor um material de formação política e histórica, visando estimular o debate e a reflexão fraterna, em sintonia com quem encontra na experiência cubana um ponto inescapável para o estudo da América Latina. Não pretendemos apresentar a revolução cubana como "modelo" ou "contra-modelo", mas sim analisar as lições que sua história pode nos oferecer para o presente e o futuro.

Who has not heard of Cuba? Its beaches, music, food, the beautiful women... and even Fidel Castro? But how many of you know about the misery and repression in which the people of Cuba live? How far does the violation of the civil rights of the people of Cuba go? It's hard to put so many bad things together in a small book. I'll show you some of the most relevant and the simplest things you never think about because you always had it when you need it and when you want it.

Our Caribbean written by Thomas Glave and has been published by Duke University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2008 with History categories.
The first book of its kind, Our Caribbean is an anthology of lesbian and gay writing from across the Antilles. The author and activist Thomas Glave has gathered outstanding fiction, nonfiction, memoir, and poetry by little-known writers together with selections by internationally celebrated figures such as José Alcántara Almánzar, Reinaldo Arenas, Dionne Brand, Michelle Cliff, Audre Lorde, Achy Obejas, and Assotto Saint. The result is an unprecedented literary conversation on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered experiences throughout the Caribbean and its far-flung diaspora. Many selections were originally published in Spanish, Dutch, or creole languages; some are translated into English here for the first time. The thirty-seven authors hail from the Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, St. Vincent, St. Kitts, Suriname, and Trinidad. Many have lived outside the Caribbean, and their writing depicts histories of voluntary migration as well as exile from repressive governments, communities, and families. Many pieces have a political urgency that reflects their authors' work as activists, teachers, community organizers, and performers. Desire commingles with ostracism and alienation throughout: in the evocative portrayals of same-sex love and longing, and in the selections addressing religion, family, race, and class. From the poem "Saturday Night in San Juan with the Right Sailors" to the poignant narrative "We Came All the Way from Cuba So You Could Dress Like This?" to an eloquent call for the embrace of difference that appeared in the Nassau Daily Tribune on the eve of an anti-gay protest, Our Caribbean is a brave and necessary book.
