This book was released on 2022-10-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roberto Luque Escalona nació en Holguín, Cuba, en 1936. Hijo menor de un matrimonio de clase media, más bien alta, se graduó de bachiller en el Instituto de Segunda Enseñanza de Holguín. Matriculó Derecho en la Universidad de La Habana, pero apenas asistió a clases pues la Universidad cerró por las circunstancias políticas de entonces. Su familia lo envió a estudiar a Estados Unidos, pero en Miami, cambió de rumbo. Se fue a México y se enroló en una expedición que preparaba el Movimiento 26 de Julio. La expedición fracasó y al caer Batista decidió permanecer en México y matriculó Historia en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma (UNAM). Dejó sus estudios sin terminar y regresó a Cuba. Matriculó Ciencias Políticas en la Universidad de La Habana, donde se graduó en 1964. En 1970, cuando trabajaba en la Agencia de Noticias Prensa Latina, presentó una novela en el Concurso Casa de Las Américas, la cual fue tildada de contrarrevolucionaria. Después de la expulsión de Prensa Latina trabajó en una revista de temas económicos, como corrector de estilo. Fue expulsado también de ese trabajo cuando ingresó en el Comité Cubano Pro Derechos Humanos. En 1990 publicó en México una breve historia de Cuba, que era en realidad una diatriba contra Fidel Castro. Tituló ese libro LOS NIÑOS Y EL TIGRE. En 1992 se exilió. En el exilio ha publicado tres ediciones de ese libro, escrito en Cuba, una de ellas en inglés. También un ensayo sobre Mitos Cubanos y ocho novelas. Gastón Baquero opinó sobre la primera edición de YO EL MEJOR DE TODOS: Este libro, maravillosamente escrito por Roberto Luque Escalona. Esa primera edición la escribió el autor cuando todavía vivía bajo el régimen totalitario en Cuba. A esta segunda edición se le han suprimido algunas partes, corregidas otras y también ampliada. No creo que el entusiasmo de Baquero se fundara en ellas, ni las echaría de menos, de estar vivo y poder leer esta segunda versión. El libro es un estudio muy completo sobre la vida del Che Guevara desde su nacimiento en Argentina hasta su muerte en Bolivia. Recorre todas sus andanzas por Centro América, su inicial relación con Fidel Castro, la Sierra Maestra, el triunfo de la Revolución, las luchas en África y el final de la guerrilla, abandonado por Castro, en Bolivia.

This book was released on 2024-01-17 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hemos escuchado, a los estadistas mundiales, hablar de como se cuentan los grandes acontecimientos; el desarrollo de un pais, una plaga, una enfermedad, etc. No se alarme, el sufrimiento del pueblo de Cuba se cuenta en numeros de muertos; por mas de 65 anos. Este pequeno pais es una isla, situada en el caribe, su poblacion ha sido sometida, a la mas terrible de las torturas, solo comparable al exterminio de la poblacion camboyana, por el regimen comunista de Pol pot. Este libro, facil de leer, y muy ameno, por la dinamica, en la que resulta su estructura, en capitulos breves, en los cuales, se relatan acciones y acontecimientos, que involucran a este argentino; nombrado Che Guevara. Como cubano; hablare por las victimas de los primeros anos del comunismo radical, en la isla de Cuba, ya que a ellos, no les estuvo permitido expresarse, aun cuando ante la inminente privacion de la vida, suplicaban a sus verdugos, que no los asesinaran, pues eran inocentes. No pretendo abarcar toda la historia, seria creo imposible, pues cada cubano que ha vivido en la isla durante estos mas de 65 anos tiene su propia historia, mas tragica o menos tragica, pero cada uno tiene su historia, les confieso algo: Me ha sido muy dificil escribir a cerca de este asesino, Pero, como secuestrado por estos verdugos, creo que las victimas merecen respeto, por lo tanto. En memoria de las victimas, contare mi version de los hechos; no sin antes, hacer mias las palabras del Maestro de todos los cubanos, Jose Marti; cuando dijo: "Cuando hay muchos hombres sin decoro, hay siempre otros que tienen en si el decoro de muchos hombres. Esos son los que se rebelan con fuerza terrible contra los que les roban a los pueblos su libertad, que es robarles a los hombres su decoro. En esos hombres van miles de hombres, va un pueblo entero, va la dignidad humana." -JOSE MARTI.

Download or read book Companero written by Jorge G. Castañeda and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-07-16 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time he was killed in the jungles of Bolivia, where his body was displayed like a deposed Christ, Ernesto "Che" Guevara had become a synonym for revolution everywhere from Cuba to the barricades of Paris. This extraordinary biography peels aside the veil of the Guevara legend to reveal the charismatic, restless man behind it. Drawing on archival materials from three continents and on interviews with Guevara's family and associates, Castaneda follows Che from his childhood in the Argentine middle class through the years of pilgrimage that turned him into a committed revolutionary. He examines Guevara's complex relationship with Fidel Castro, and analyzes the flaws of character that compelled him to leave Cuba and expend his energies, and ultimately his life, in quixotic adventures in the Congo and Bolivia. A masterpiece of scholarship, Companero is the definitive portrait of a figure who continues to fascinate and inspire the world over.

Download or read book Redeemers written by Enrique Krauze and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-08-16 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America has been of vital importance to the United States almost since the birth of our nation, and the significance of this relationship has only increased in recent decades. But mutual understanding between these regions is lacking, even as Latin Americans are striving to promote the values of democracy in their native countries and beyond. Why has this process proved to be such a struggle, and what does the future of the region hold? In Redeemers, acclaimed historian Enrique Krauze presents the major ideas that have formed the modern Latin American political mind during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, from early postcolonial authoritarian regimes to nineteenth-century Liberalism and Conservatism, and then the impact of Socialism and Marxism as well as nationalism and indigenism and the movement toward liberal democracy of recent years. Krauze looks closely at how these ideas have been expressed in the lives of influential revolutionaries, thinkers, poets, and novelists—figures whose lives were marked by a passionate involvement in history, power, and, for some, revolution, as well as a personal commitment to love, friendship, and family. Krauze’s subjects come from across the continents. Here are the Cuban JosÉ MartÍ; the Argentines Che Guevara and Evita PerÓn; the groundbreaking political thinkers JosÉ Vasconcelos of Mexico and JosÉ Carlos MariÁtegui from Peru. Writers JosÉ Enrique RodÓ, Mario Vargas Llosa, Octavio Paz, and Gabriel GarcÍa MÁrquez reinforce the importance of imagination to inspire social change. Redeemers also highlights Mexico’s Samuel Ruiz and Subcomandante Marcos and Venezuela’s president Hugo ChÁvez, and their influence on contemporary Latin America. In this brilliant and deeply researched history, Enrique Krauze uses the range of these extraordinary lives to illuminate the struggle that has defined Latin American history: an ever-precarious balance between the ideal of democracy and the temptation of political messianism. Through this comprehensive collage of the distinct but interconnected experiences and views of these twelve fascinating cultural and political figures, we can better understand how this balance continues to affect Latin America today and how its nations will define themselves and relate to the larger world in the years ahead.

Download or read book The Dictator s Seduction written by Lauren H. Derby and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-17 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo, who ruled the Dominican Republic from 1930 until his assassination in 1961, was one of the longest and bloodiest in Latin American history. The Dictator’s Seduction is a cultural history of the Trujillo regime as it was experienced in the capital city of Santo Domingo. Focusing on everyday forms of state domination, Lauren Derby describes how the regime infiltrated civil society by fashioning a “vernacular politics” based on popular idioms of masculinity and fantasies of race and class mobility. Derby argues that the most pernicious aspect of the dictatorship was how it appropriated quotidian practices such as gossip and gift exchange, leaving almost no place for Dominicans to hide or resist. Drawing on previously untapped documents in the Trujillo National Archives and interviews with Dominicans who recall life under the dictator, Derby emphasizes the role that public ritual played in Trujillo’s exercise of power. His regime included the people in affairs of state on a massive scale as never before. Derby pays particular attention to how events and projects were received by the public as she analyzes parades and rallies, the rebuilding of Santo Domingo following a major hurricane, and the staging of a year-long celebration marking the twenty-fifth year of Trujillo’s regime. She looks at representations of Trujillo, exploring how claims that he embodied the popular barrio antihero the tíguere (tiger) stoked a fantasy of upward mobility and how a rumor that he had a personal guardian angel suggested he was uniquely protected from his enemies. The Dictator’s Seduction sheds new light on the cultural contrivances of autocratic power.

Download or read book Che s Afterlife written by Michael J. Casey and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-06-06 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1960, Cuban photographer Alberto Korda captured fabled revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara in what has become history's most reproduced photo. Here Michael Casey tells the remarkable story of this image, detailing its evolution from a casual snapshot to an omnipresent graphic—plastered on everything from T-shirts to vodka to condoms—and into a copyrighted brand. As Casey follows it across the Americas and through cyberspace, he finds governments exploiting it and their dissenters attacking it, merchants selling it and tourists buying it. We see how this image is, ultimately, a mercurial icon that still ignites passion—and a reflection of how we view ourselves.

Download or read book Tango Lessons written by Marilyn G. Miller and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its earliest manifestations on the street corners of nineteenth-century Buenos Aires to its ascendancy as a global cultural form, tango has continually exceeded the confines of the dance floor or the music hall. In Tango Lessons, scholars from Latin America and the United States explore tango's enduring vitality. The interdisciplinary group of contributors—including specialists in dance, music, anthropology, linguistics, literature, film, and fine art—take up a broad range of topics. Among these are the productive tensions between tradition and experimentation in tango nuevo, representations of tango in film and contemporary art, and the role of tango in the imagination of Jorge Luis Borges. Taken together, the essays show that tango provides a kaleidoscopic perspective on Argentina's social, cultural, and intellectual history from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries.
