Raúl Castro's Government: Recent Economic Reforms and Some Political Considerations.

Four years after calling for structural and conceptual changes, Raúl Castro finally unveiled a roadmap of substantive economic reforms. Over the next 18 months, at least a million workers will be laid off from the bloated state sector. Alternative forms of earning a living – self-employment, cooperatives, leasing of land or physical space, among others – are being authorized as old constraints on these alternatives are rescinded. From the perspective of ordinary Cubans, these reforms – called an actualizaciόn, or an update of the economic model – were long overdue. Yet, in hindsight, the slow-paced process can be explained, not in terms of the need for time to “identify” Cuba’s economic problems which have been known for decades, but by Raúl Castro’s emphasis on la institucionalidad, the need to channel decision making through institutions. His brother left a chaotic state apparatus which first needed mending before an elite consensus on the reform package could be forged. Cuba is entering a situation without precedent: this package is likely to run its own course without the Comandante (Fidel Castro) stopping it. By 2015, Cuban society will probably look different than today, featuring unprecedented inequality and living standards that are on the rise.

Resumen del documento en catalán

La historia de Hispanoamérica en nuestro Bachillerato.

Se analiza el papel que desempeña la enseñanza de historia de Hispanoamérica en el bachillerato español. Se considera que un hecho histórico suscita el interés sobre la historia de Hispanoamérica: la revolución cubana de Fidel Castro y Che Guevara. De este modo durante la década de los sesenta, frente a la visión tópica e imperialista de la historia de América, se desarrolla otra Historia de América, y se observa como esta se pone de moda. Posteriormente se analiza la visión imperialista española de la historia Iberoamericana, a lo cual siguen los fallos estructurales, y la nueva etapa. Posteriormente se analizan algunos signos de cambio, y por último se defiende la existencia de una historia de América viva.

Cultural policy and cultural politics in Revolutionary Cuba: re-reading the 'Palabras a los intelectuales' (Words to the Intellectuals)

This article re-reads Fidel Castro's speech to Cuban artists and intellectuals at the Biblioteca Nacional José Martí (National Library) in June 1961. Despite extensive discussion of its famous extract, the speech has rarely been examined in depth. This article thus analyses the entire speech, situating it within its co-text and its context and examining its multiple functions, offering as it does an insight into the social and educational implications of cultural revolution in Cuba and the inevitable tensions inherent in these. The article evaluates the negotiations in the text in the light of their relevance to contemporary cultural debates in Cuba.
