Book excerpt: This report by the committee majority staff is part of our ongoing examination into the efficacy of Radio and TV Marti. Radio Marti was created in 1983 to support the Cuban people in their quest for "accurate, unbiased, and consistently reliable" news and entertainment; TV Marti followed in 1990. Unfortunately, listeners and viewers never received the kind of high quality programming that was originally intended. Problems with adherence to traditional journalistic standards, miniscule audience size, Cuban Government jamming, and allegations of cronyism have dogged the program since its creation. As a result, Congress has reduced TV Marti's funding and has strongly encouraged Radio Marti to ensure that its broadcasts adhere to journalistic standards practiced by the Voice of America. Indeed, this report goes further, and recommends that the Office of Cuba Broadcasting be incorporated into the Voice of America.

  • Author : Albert Sergio Laguna
  • Publisher : NYU Press
  • Release : 2017-07-18
  • ISBN : 147983601X
  • Pages : 284 pages

Download or read book Diversi n written by Albert Sergio Laguna and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of warming relations between the US and Cuba, this book updates the conversation about Cuban America by revealing how this community has changed over the past 25 years. Albert Sergio Laguna investigates the generational shifts and tensions in a Cuban America where the majority is now made up of those who have arrived since the 1990s and those born in the US. To probe these changes, Laguna examines the aesthetic and social logics of a wide range of popular culture forms originating in Miami and Cuba from the 1970s through the 2010s. They include the stand-up comedy of performers like Alvarez Guedes, festivals, a media distribution network in Cuba called el paquete, morning radio shows, and the viral content of Los Pichy Boys, among others. This study illustrates the centrality of play in a community that has been described historically as angry and melancholic. Diversión contends that our understanding of the Cuban diaspora is lacking not in seriousness, but in play. By unpacking this archive, Laguna explores our complex, often-fraught attachments to popular culture and the way it can challenge and reproduce normative cultural ideologies-especially in relation to politics and race. In the wake of the largest Cuban migration wave to the US in history, Diversión is crucial reading for those who seek to understand not only the Cuban. American diaspora, but cultural and economic life on the island. Book jacket.

Book Right Wing Politics in the New Latin America

Download or read book Right Wing Politics in the New Latin America written by Francisco Dominguez and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2011-11-10 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus for students of Latin America in the past decade has been on the political forces of the left and the so-called 'pink tide' presidencies attempting to bring about social and economic change in the region. However, there has been far less attention paid to the rightwing political forces resisting such change. Such opposition is being orchestrated by political parties, business, the private media and other social and cultural institutions and is linked to the 'soft power' of US diplomacy. In recent years its activities have often appeared to challenge the democratic process itself. Based on a variety of original fieldwork and evidence, this volume addresses the current trajectories of rightwing politics in Latin America in the face of leftist governments, the discrediting of neoliberalism, and the decline of US hegemony. It includes chapters on US policy towards Latin America; the role of US-based think-tanks; the influence of transnational business and of the private media; as well as offering country-specific chapters on key states with rightwing governments and on opposition to left-of-centre governments in Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Chile. A revealing and important book for anyone interested in contemporary Latin American politics.
