Al triunfar la revolución cubana es claro que no solo debe enfrentarse a los cambios económicos y sociales a realizar. Debe enfrentarse también a la transformación de los sujetos sociales, que son quienes hacen viable el cambio en última instancia. Para ello deben cambiar las formas de la conciencia social y dentro de ellas un papel determinante lo jugará la moral. Esta deberá enfocarse hacia la sociedad que se quería construir, el comunismo. Cuáles fueron los principales medios de los que se valió la Revolución cubana para el proceso de divulgación de la moral comunista como parte de la construcción del ideal social, así como las principales características de la moral comunista difundida durante las tres primeras décadas de la revolución, será el principal punto a tratar en este artículo. When the Cuban revolution triumphs, it is clear that it must not only face the economic and social changes to be made. It must also face the transformation of social subjects, who are the ones who ultimately make change viable. For this, the forms of social conscience must change and within them a determining role will be played by morality. This should focus on the society that was wanted to build, communism. The main means used by the Cuban Revolution for the process of spreading communist morality as part of the construction of the social ideal, as well as the main characteristics of the communist morality spread during the first three decades of the revolution, will be discussed in this article.

The Second Declaration of Havana ratified on February 4, 1962 is the most important document of the socialistic stage of the Cuban Revolution. The historical analysis of this document is essential to appreciate all the peculiarity of the socialism formation in Cuba and to understand the origin of the principles of the revolutionary internationalism during the Cuban Revolution. However, investigations, which are dedicated to specifically this issue, does not present in the Russian historiography. The aim of this work is to clarify the role of the Second Declaration of Havana in the process of the socialistic ideology formation in Cuba under specific historical conditions of the first half of the 20th century and also to estimate the impact of the foreign policy of USA and VIII Consultative Meeting of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of American States (OAS), which took place in January 1962, onto the radicalization of the Cuban Revolution.

Fidel Castro, the revolutionary leader of Cuba, gave a speech on the fourth anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, mainly focus- ing on how to solidify the pueblo cubano under the revolutionary flag against the U.S. intervention. This paper aims to examine the Cuban revolution stand on the view from four years after Castro has died, to prove that what Castro has mentioned during his Fourth Anniversary Speech has been accomplished, as well as compare the revolutionary movements of its neighbours like Grenada, to see why Cuba could be the only successful example of socialism in the Western Hemisphere. The paper will focus on the social changes during the post-revolution Cuba based on the scholar research of Louis A. Pérez and John Walton’s comparison article between Grenada and Cuba.

Cuba was the last country to establish diplomatic relations with the Republic of Korea, doing so on February 14, 2024. Notably, however, it was the first nation in Latin America and the Caribbean to recognize Korea, preceding Brazil, which also recognized Korea in 1949. The absence of concrete evidence of the official establishment of diplomatic ties on July 12, 1949, or the subsequent cessation of these ties--likely due to de facto recognition of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea following the Cuban Revolution in 1959--necessitates a re-evaluation of the terms "establishment" and "re-establishment" in the context of renewed relations in 2024. The year 2024 also marks the 75th anniversary of Cuba's official recognition of the Republic of Korea and the commencement of diplomatic relations between the two countries. This article explores the evolution of the largely unknown relations between Cuba and Korea, which has been the focus of an in-depth investigation initiated in 2022. Some elements within this article will be presented academically for the first time, while others have appeared in previous works by the author in the Republic of Korea. The two countries, in their historical interactions, share the unique characteristic of having maintained diplomatic relations without bilateral disputes, establishing a foundation for a new phase of cooperation based on these enduring ties.

This paper discusses the two most revisited experiences of transition to socialism in the Latin American twentieth century: the Cuban Revolution and the Chilean Popular Unity government. To contrast Cuban and Chilean leftist conceptions of that period, we analyzed how the cultural magazines Casa de las Américas and La Quinta Rueda represented the agenda of the left. Based on these sources, we will discuss each government's cultural policies, the intellectual debates, the exchanges, and conflicts between the two revolutionary processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Though rural Protestant missionaries stationed in Cuba routinely reproduced Anglo-American epistemologies and values, often in the service of US corporations, they also worked alongside their parishioners to challenge state and economic violence, as well as break the cyclical nature of Cuban poverty. Shared struggle with Cubans against Fulgencio Batista’s dictatorship proved transformative for many rural missionaries who, in the late 1950s, developed a revolutionary consciousness born through transnational solidarity. Missionaries challenged the dominant narrative coming from the US government and foreign corporations, as the Revolution pursued an increasingly anti-imperial and anti-capitalist agenda after Batista entered exile. While corporate executives and government officials from North America and Europe feared the new government, rural missionaries, often funded by these same corporations, defended the structural changes taking place after 1959. Through oral history and archival research, this article exposes how Cuban Protestants proved particularly influential in shaping the lens by which foreign missionaries came to understand, appreciate, and ultimately support the Cuban Revolution.

A implantação do ateísmo estatal seguiu ao longo da década de 1980. Não obstante esse dado, esse período é comumente reconhecido como um momento de diálogo entre a Igreja Católica e o Estado socialista até sua segunda metade. A partir de então, a instituição religiosa passa à ofensiva acreditando que o regime insular seguisse o mesmo percurso de queda pela qual passava o leste europeu. Nessa segunda parte desse artigo, tratamos dessa década com atenção especial ao Encontro Nacional Eclesial Cubano (ENEC), que entendemos ser o mais importante evento do catolicismo

The article is an attempt to detect the main research areas of the U.S. reaction towards the Cuban Revolution in the current historiography. The main groups of the works in the Soviet, post-Soviet, American and Cuban historiography were analysed. There were shown the basic research centres that had studied various aspects of the U.S. actions towards the Cuba. In the article, there were also considered the main dimensions and approaches towards the issue. There were revealed changes which happened in the studies at the post-Cold war period. It was also determined that the formation and change of the main approaches to the U.S. reaction towards the Cuban Revolution depended on the ideological context and transformation of the international situation. In the American historiography, the main research areas have reflected a plurality of views and were dominated by a more balanced approach in the post-Cold War period. In the Soviet and post-Soviet historiography, we found the substitution of the main concept: the notion of the American imperialism has been replaced by the conception of U.S. geopolitical interests in Latin America. The Cuban historiography was characterized by two different groups: Cuban studies and the publications of historians-emigrants.

From new political history, this paper analyzes Salvador Allende's reception of the Cuban revolutionary process between 1953 and 1964. About this, until the triumph of the Cuban revolution this process did not occupy a relevant place in the continental political references of the socialist leader. The foregoing changed rapidly after the revolutionary triumph, carrying out an intense process of reaffirmation and deepening of his main definitions regarding the character of the Chilean revolution. In this way, through the analysis of his parliamentary speeches, party documentation, magazines and militant memoirs, it is possible to point out that the Cuban Revolution became an important experience and input for Salvador Allende during the process of formulating his strategic project. On the one hand, to ratify its commitment to the peaceful path and on the other, to develop central elements of its national-popular programmatic proposal with a view to socialism.

This article aims to investigate how political violence was conceptualized within the Argentine Trotskyist organizations of the 1960s. The influence of the Cuban Revolution, the growth of foquismo (theory of guerrilla warfare) and the crisis of the political regime impacted on their debates regarding the relation between violence and the development of a political strategy. We will analyze the positions towards armed struggle developed by the different organizations belonging to the field of Trotskyism concerning three aspects: the actions carried out, the controversies between various groups and the tensions and internal debates that led to crisis or splits from within and towards Trotskyism.

The subject is to give a new vision of an old problem that is the subject of more than half a century - the Cuban Revolution and utopia that it produced. Official ideological discourse of this Revolution is conditioned by culture and turns into disappointment and dystopia. At the beginning it pretends to be a new model of human society and by the time is transformed into a form of totalitarian regime. The work is primarily based on theories of Levitas, Che Guevara, Sartre, and Benjamin, among others. Mapping the most important utopia, we have tried to present the ideology of the Cuban society and its impact on aesthetics and art. The hypothesis of this paper is that this Revolution has produced many specific utopias which are an integral part of its ideology. Making a huge impact on the various cultural fields it coused the emergence of new artistic modalities: black Cuban novel, new discourse full of nostalgia and melancholy, as well as ruins in various artistic representations in which we find dystopian elements.

Coveted from the beginning of the 19th century by the United States who wanted to annex it to their territory, Cuba lived under the constant threat of seeing its aspiration for independence questioned by the powerful neighbor who denied them the right to a sovereign existence. After the military intervention of 1898 and the occupation of the island, Washington in one way or another exerted a more or less direct influence over all aspects of Cuban society, thereby gaining control over its natural resources. The origins of the 1959 Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro lie in the turmoil of this tormented history, between aspiration for independence and subjection.

The first official poets of the Cuban Revolution founded in 1966, under the patronage of the Cuban Communist Party, a review named The Bearded Caiman. This beard, often maintained in remembrance of combat, had indeed become a revolutionary insignia merging virile identity and political identity. These young, smooth-faced poets thus brandished a discursive beard like they would have displayed a red star. But to what extent did displays of virility equal political displays? How was this “new man”, who political leaders wished for, supposed to articulate gender and commitment? And what meaning should be given to excessive gender performances, bordering on parody, in these poets’ texts? To answer these questions, we must first examine politico-gendered prescriptions weighing on them in particular, as official poets, but also on the whole literary field. We will then consider gender performance in their texts and in their social mise-en-scènes as doubt, deliberately cast over their political commitment. What if the hollow shell was not the gendered subject, but the revolutionary subject?

The testimonies of seven Cubans can't, of course, tell the full story, but they do paint a picture of a radically changing post-1990s Cuba that led Dore to conclude: "Socialism in Cuba is over, at least for the time being. Cuban Privilege: The Making of Immigrant Inequality in America, by Susan Eva Eckstein & How Things Fall Apart: What Happened to the Cuban Revolution, by Elizabeth Dore Dore first visited Cuba as a student in 1972 and, in her own words, wanted ever since to conduct life histories on the island, inspired by the late 1960s anthropological work of a U.S.-Cuban team led by Oscar Lewis.
