Cuba: Why The Revolution Still Matters with Professor Aviva Chomsky
Tuesday, March 12, 6:30 PM
Main Library, 449 Broadway, Lecture Hall , Cambridge
While the U.S. media may portray Cuba as a crumbling relic of
twentieth-century socialism, it is in fact a dynamic and vibrant country
that has both changed drastically in the past three decades, and
continues to engage with local, regional, and global events in
significant ways. We will look at the changes that have been happening
in Cuba and explore how studying the Cuban Revolution can help us
understand Latin American politics, migration, violence, global trade
and economic issues, race, U.S. foreign policy, economic development,
and more
