Book excerpt: Es una recopilación de trece entrevistas con algunas de las figuras más importantes de la cultura cubana que gozan de todo el apoyo del régimen de Fidel Castro. Los entrevistados son trece representantes incondicionales de la cultura isleña: Silvio Rodríguez, Antón Arrufat, Alicia Alonso, Abelardo Estorino, Chucho Valdés, Pablo Armando Fernández, Leo Brouwer, Nancy Morejón, Roberto Fernández Retamar, Roberto Fabelo, Frank Fernández, Fernando Pérez y Jorge Perugorría. Según informan los autores, ninguno de los entrevistados censuró las preguntas que se le formularon ni tampoco hubo censura respecto de quiénes podían ser entrevistados, y todos ellos demostraron tener un fuerte sentimiento de pertenencia nacional. Un libro que de algún modo muestra otra cara de Cuba, vista por figuras que han permanecido en la isla y que han vivido una existencia íntimamente vinculada al devenir de su patria.

Book excerpt: "In the wake of the Buena Vista Social Club, the world has rediscovered the rich musical tradition of Cuba. A unique combination of popular and elite influences, the music of this island nation has fascinated since the golden age of the son - that new World aural collision of Africa and Europe that made Cuban music the rage in Paris, New York, and Mexico beginning in the 1920s." "Drawing on such primary documents as obscure church circulars, dog-eared musical scores pulled from attics, and the records of the Spanish colonial authorities, Music in Cuba sweeps from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Carpentier covers European-style elite Cuban music as well as the popular worlds of rural Spanish folk and Afro-Cuban urban music."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Rereading Women in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Jennifer Abbassi and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2002-03-26 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This indispensable text reader provides a broad-ranging and thoughtfully organized feminist introduction to the ongoing controversies of development in Latin America and the Caribbean. Designed for use in a variety of college courses, the volume collects an influential group of essays first published in Latin American Perspectives—a theoretical and scholarly journal focused on the political economy of capitalism, imperialism, and socialism in the Americas. The reader is organized into thematic sections that focus on work, politics, and culture, and each section includes substantive introductions that identify key issues, trends, and debates in the scholarly literature on women and gender in the region. Demonstrating the rich and multidisciplinary nature of Latin American studies, this collection of timely, empirical studies promotes critical thinking about women's place and power; about theory and research strategies; and about contemporary economic, political, and social conditions in Latin America and the Caribbean. Valuable as both a supplementary or primary text, Rereading Women makes a convincing claim for a materialist feminist analysis. It convincingly shows why women have become an increasingly important subject of research, acknowledges their gains and struggles over time, and explores the contributions that feminist theory has made toward the recognition of gender as a relevant—indeed essential—category for analyzing the political economy of development.
Download or read book Diecis is Islas Cubanas written by Yoaxis Marcheco Suárez and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-08-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieciséis islas cubanas, esta compilación de entrevistas realizadas por Yoaxis Marcheco Suárez, es una estocada contra esa estrategia de desinformación. Es un bojeo inteligente a través de las experiencias vitales de un abanico amplio de protagonistas de la sociedad civil cubana de la isla y la diáspora. Mediante una, en apariencia simple, estrategia de hacer hablar a los entrevistados sobre sus vínculos personales y profesionales con Cuba y las circunstancias históricas específicas en las que han transcurrido sus vidas, se ofrece un panorama bastante amplio sobre la multitud de disidencias que han existido en la isla y la diáspora en estas seis décadas de totalitarismo castrista, un muestrario de anécdotas que evidencian las grietas oscuras y tenebrosas, históricas y del presente, de un sistema que se creía a sí mismo infalible, al tiempo que se pregonaba al mundo como luminoso y humanista. (AMIR VALLE) --***-- YOAXIS MARCHECO SUÁREZ (Mayarí, Cuba, 1973). Licenciada en Ciencias de la Información por la Universidad de La Habana.

Download or read book The Cuban Filmography written by Alfonso J. García Osuna and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 24, 1897, an event took place that would change Cuban culture forever: the first moving pictures were shown in Havana. A couple of weeks later, on February 7, the first movie was filmed on the island. Since then, cinematography and Cuba have shared peculiar and innate connections, as their beginnings roughly coincide and Cubans are living in both the age of independence and revolution and the age of film. This work is a filmography of every Cuban film (including documentaries, shorts and cartoons) released from 1897, the first year films were shown and made in Cuba, through 2001. Each entry gives the original title of the film, the English translation of it, director, production company or companies, year of release, black and white or color, total running time, writing credits if the film is based on a story or novel, animation credits if the film is a cartoon, music credits if music has been written specifically for the film, cast credits, and a synopsis and short critical evaluation. The work also provides comments on the relationship between Cuban film and history, and the changes that have taken place over the years in themes, topics, methods, and other aspects of filmmaking in Cuba.

Download or read book Race Anthropology and Politics in the Work of Wifredo Lam written by Claude Cernuschi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reinterprets Wifredo Lam’s work with particular attention to its political implications, focusing on how these implications emerge from the artist’s critical engagement with 20th-century anthropology. Field work conducted in Cuba, including the witnessing of actual Afro-Cuban religious ritual ceremonies and information collected from informants, enhances the interpretive background against which we can construe the meanings of Lam's art. In the process, Claude Cernuschi argues that Lam hoped to fashion a new hybrid style to foster pride and dignity in the Afro-Cuban community, as well as counteract the acute racism of Cuban culture.
