To Nadine Gordimer
Homage from the Five to South Africa's Nobel Prize Laureate
July 16, 2014
She fought against the hateful South African Apartheid together with Cubans, siding with the victims when the complicity of the powerful nations of the time favored their assailants. She supported Cuba when the forecasters bet on our defeat and favored the victory of infamy. She joined the line of good people when a sense of shame brought them to fight for the freedom of the Five. She challenged the cruelty of the empire in times of elated revenge. She accompanied us and was always ready to add her name to the increasing list of those who call to end the torment imposed on us and our families by a corrupt legal system.
She was fair. She was humane. She was great. That is why she has the respect and admiration of the Five, our loved ones and the entire Cuban people.
Nadine Gordimer has passed away. She shall live forever with the peace of these who are just. Immortal and tireless.

Para Nadine Gordimer
Homenaje de los Cinco a la Premio Nobel sudafricana
16 de julio de 2014
Tomado de CubaDebate
Junto a los cubanos luchó contra el odioso Apartheid sudafricano, poniéndose al lado de las víctimas cuando la complicidad de las potencias de la época se inclinaba hacia los victimarios. Supo estar al lado de Cuba cuando los augures apostaban por nuestro abatimiento y las apuestas se inclinaban por el triunfo de la infamia. Se puso en la fila de los buenos cuando la vergüenza los convocó a luchar por la libertad de los Cinco, retando al imperio cruel en tiempos de exultada venganza. Nos acompañó y estuvo siempre presta a poner su nombre en la lista creciente de los que reclaman fin al calvario impuesto a nosotros y a nuestros familiares por un sistema legal viciado por el oprobio.
Fue justa. Fue humana. Fue grande. Por eso fue digna del respeto y la admiración de los Cinco, de nuestros seres queridos y del pueblo cubano.
Nadine Gordimer ha muerto. Que en la paz de los justos viva para siempre. Inmortal e incansable.

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
