Cuba Your instructor goes "everywhere" to seek out the truth even to places that the U.S. government prohibits its own citizens to go to! Indeed, a 75-year-old retired teacher from Wisconsin was fined $7,500 for a cycling holiday in Cuba [Source: The Disarm Education Fund Take an optional trip to Cuba: what did I see Why are his pants rolled up? 800,000 or so Cubans left Cuba to the United States since the Castro revolution of 1959 . The Cuban-American National Foundation (CANF), with its 5,000 members mostly wealthy businessmen uses its wealth to support congressional and presidential candidates who support a hard line against Cuba, such as the tough trade and travel embargo , and the Helms-Burton law aimed at foreign companies investing there. The US government funds Radio Marti and TV Marti , which broadcast the CANF view of the world to Cuba (pointlessly, since the broadcasts are jammed by the Cuban government). Imagine if Cuba passed laws and acted this way towards the USA politicians would be asking for revenge! What is truth? and What is propaganda? Answer : truth comes from the side one identifies with; propaganda comes from the "enemy"!

Hispanic is based on history and geography rather than on racial or ethnic categories because Hispanics may be of any race African, Asian, European, and/or Native American as long as they can trace their ancestry to Spain or one of its (former) colonies.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/peoplescentury/teachers/tgguerrilla.html
Despite their small numbers, guerrilla movements defeat larger, more sophisticated military forces in Cuba, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. In addition to using the natural terrain to their advantage, the movements' strong political philosophies inspire the loyalty of peasants. Unit Themes and Topics:
the Cuban Revolution
geography
guerrilla warfare
human endurance
the Soviet war in Afghanistan
the Vietnam War
Ahmed Shah Massoud
(guerrilla leader, Afghanistan)

"Strong motivation and belief in your own victory are the most important things in a guerrilla war. The other keys to victory are the proper use of terrain by guerrillas and the mobilization of the people."
Note to Teachers This program contains graphic depictions of violence. We recommend that you preview the program before using it in the classroom. Discussion Before Watching 1. Define the term guerrilla warfare. How is it different from conventional warfare? 2.

This is not a course on Latin America, per se, although you will learn more about the geography of Latin America. My goal is that you understand some of the types of questions asked by Latin Americanists, the paradigms and methodologies used, and the interpretations of the results. I will not lecture in this course. All students will be responsible for reading all the assigned material and being prepared to participate in discussions.

INTRODUCTION
Background: Fidel CASTRO led a rebel army to victory in 1959; his iron will has held the country together since. Cuba's communist revolution, with Soviet support, was exported throughout Latin America and Africa during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. The country is now slowly recovering from a severe economic recession following the withdrawal of former Soviet subsidies, worth $4 billion to $6 billion annually, in 1990. Havana blames its difficulties on the US embargo in place since 1962.

MSU Establishes Study Abroad Program in Cuba
Thanks to Michigan State University's recent success in obtaining an institutional license for travel to Cuba, students will soon be participating in a new study abroad program in Havana, capital city of the island nation. "Caribbean Regional Development: The Cuban Experience" will be offered for the first time for four weeks beginning May 19, 2002. The program is sponsored by the Department of Geography's Urban and Regional Planning Program in the College of Social Science and will offer students from any MSU majors the opportunity to earn ISS (social science integrative studies), geography, and/or independent study credits. The program is directed by two geography professors, René Hinojosa and Robert N. Thomas, who deserve the lion's share of credit for making the program a reality. Here at MSU, they worked with individuals and offices at many levels, including their department and college, the Office of Study Abroad (OSA) , and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) . They also worked with colleagues and officials at the University of Havana , the hosting institution, to establish the institutional linkage, arrange a series of guest lecturers, and work out the logistics of housing, meals, facilities, and travel that the program will entail. In June 2001, the pair spent a week in Havana on an OSA planning grant doing face-to-face planning. Their tenacity paid off when the program was given final approval in November 2001, upon notification from the State Department that the MSU Institutional License for Academic Activities in Cuba had been granted.
