This week Christina Abreu drops in to discuss Cuban-American history, Cuban music, and the representation of Cubans in film. We explore the origins and characteristics of Cuban music, as well as the migration of Cubans to the United States in the 1950s. We also discuss the relationship between Cuban-Americans and other Latino groups, as well as the integration and segregation within Cuban-American communities. This is a fun podcast and deep dive into Cuban American history. I hope you dig it.About our guest:Christina Abreu is associate professor of history and director of the Center for Latino/Latin American Studies at Northern Illinois University. Her research focuses on the role of race, nationalism, and migration in the Cuban and Spanish Caribbean diasporic communities of the United States with a particular emphasis on popular culture.  Her first book, Rhythms of Race: Cuban Musicians and the Making of Cuban New York City and Miami, 1940-1960, examined the relationship between black and white Cuban musicians and the Cuban and broader Latinx communities of New York City and Miami in the 1940s and 1950s. In her second book, Patria over Profits: The Story of Afro-Cuban Boxing Champion Teófilo Stevenson, she offers a cultural history of the life and times of Afro-Cuban boxing champion Teófilo Stevenson, winner of three heavyweight boxing Olympic gold medals in 1972, 1976, and 1980. In detailing Stevenson's triumphs in the ring, another more complex and interconnected story emerges about revolutionary Cuba and the island's Afro-Caribbean connections, race and black athletic activism, Cuban exile culture and politics, and international sports celebrity. Patria over Profits is under contract with the Sport and Society series at the University of Illinois Press.

When Fidel Castro took over Cuba in 1959, he deposed a dictator. And then the man who promised democracy turned into a dictator himself, and turned Cuba communist. Did he also make Cuba better than it was before? Or worse? Today we dig into the Cuba Revolution, and also go over the centuries of foreign subjugation and internal chaos and corruption that preceded it. Cuba has been struggling since long before Castro took it over. We meet a few interesting players in addition to going over the history, including infamous revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

Sturdy, Colorful, Charming Havanese Bring Cuban History to Life [caption id="attachment_10917" align="alignleft" width="230"] Dr. Adam King, DVM with one of his Havanese in a corded coat.[/caption] Dr. Adam King, DVM, of https://www.askinhavanese.com/ (Askin) Havanese, joins host Laura Reeves in Love the Breeds Month for an overview of the little dogs of Cuba's aristocracy that survived the Cuban Revolution. According to King, the precursor of the Havanese was brought to Cuba from Spain and Italy during colonization in the 1600-1700s. More European immigrants arrived in Cuba in the 1800s with Poodle type dogs, which also became incorporated into the developing breed. Originally developed as the family pet of the Cuban aristocracy, Havanese are sturdy, colorful and charming. King noted that wealthy Cubans fled the country during the Revolution in the 1950s. “Many of them thought it was going to be a short-lived thing, leaving their dogs with the domestic help at the time because they thought they'd be coming back to Cuba very shortly,” King said. “And that's something that obviously didn't happen for many of those families. “We are fortunate that a small number of Havanese were taken by their owners to Costa Rica and the US. That's where the majority of the breed then developed. Most of the Havanese, both in Europe and in America, came from those people who just happened to take their dogs with them.” “They are a toy breed, but the nice thing is that they are not a fragile toy breed for the most part. We don't want them to be clunky, but there should be nothing fragile or breakable about Havanese whatsoever.” [caption id="attachment_10919" align="alignleft" width="287"] Puppies generally change colors multiple times over the course of their lives.[/caption] The variety of colors is part of the breed's charm. Color is immaterial per the standard, with only dilute blue being unaccepted in the ring. Merle is not a naturally occurring color in the breed. “So, we definitely get people who come to us as puppy owners who say they want a specific color,” King said. “And it really is sometimes difficult to convince them that ‘that's nice that you think this is a good color right now, but I just want to make sure that you know it will not be this color probably in six months, it may come back to this color, but it won't be this color in six months.' “I wouldn't say that they are Einsteins at the dog world. People disagree with me, but I'd say that they're like a C plus student. They're happy to be here. They're game to do whatever you want, but it's not a breed that you have to out-think all the time. “Havanese do go through at least one coat change, usually sometime between the ages of 7 and 10 months, that can be pretty maddening. We look at them and they mat, like it truly is quite terrible and you think you're going crazy. But if you can get a coat through that, generally it's something that's relatively easy to do. “They don't shed like the typical dog and they tend to have a pretty low dander and pretty low odor as well. Everyone's allergies are different and so starting to come around this breed would be a good idea to see is this something that triggers you or is this a dog that you can really deal with. But because you do have hair versus fur, it is agreed that is a good breed for most people with allergies. “I can generally place my puppies in homes and know that I'm going to get multiple texts and emails about how much they love their dogs for the rest of the dog's life. “They are just like potato chips. They are so charming and so happy that you can't help but fall in love with them. And when you have one, all you can think about is, well, you know, it might be a good idea to have another one as well because they're so fun and easy. It really is a breed that does well in the vast majority of homes.”

"On the outskirts of Havana lies Mazorra, an asylum known to--and at times feared by--ordinary Cubans for over a century. Since its founding in 1857, the island's first psychiatric hospital has been an object of persistent political attention. Drawing on hospital documents and government records, as well as the popular press, photographs, and oral histories, Jennifer L. Lambe charts the connections between the inner workings of this notorious institution and the highest echelons of Cuban politics. Across the sweep of modern Cuban history, she finds, Mazorra has served as both laboratory and microcosm of the Cuban state: the asylum is an icon of its ignominious colonial and neocolonial past and a crucible of its republican and revolutionary futures. From its birth, Cuban psychiatry was politically inflected, drawing partisan contention while sparking debates over race, religion, gender, and sexuality. Psychiatric notions were even invested with revolutionary significance after 1959, as the new government undertook ambitious schemes for social reeducation. But Mazorra was not the exclusive province of government officials and professionalizing psychiatrists. U.S. occupiers, Soviet visitors, and, above all, ordinary Cubans infused the institution, both literal and metaphorical, with their own fears, dreams, and alternative meanings. Together, their voices comprise the madhouse that, as Lambe argues, haunts the revolutionary trajectory of Cuban history."

Lambe charts the connections between the inner workings of this notorious institution and the highest echelons of Cuban politics. Across the sweep of modern Cuban history, she finds, Mazorra has served as both laboratory and microcosm of the Cuban state: the asylum is an icon of its ignominious colonial and neocolonial past and a crucible of its republican and revolutionary futures. From its birth, Cuban psychiatry was politically inflected, drawing partisan contention while sparking debates over race, religion, gender, and sexuality. Psychiatric notions were even invested with revolutionary significance after 1959, as the new government undertook ambitious schemes for social reeducation. But Mazorra was not the exclusive province of government officials and professionalizing psychiatrists. U.S. occupiers, Soviet visitors, and, above all, ordinary Cubans infused the institution, both literal and metaphorical, with their own fears, dreams, and alternative meanings. Together, their voices comprise the madhouse that, as Lambe argues, haunts the revolutionary trajectory of Cuban history." I talked with Dr. Lambe about her first book, Madhouse: Psychiatry and Politics in Cuban History, which was published in 2017 by University of North Carolina Press as part of the Envisioning Cuba Series. Dr. Lambe is an Associate Professor of Latin American and Caribbean history at Brown University and is also the co-editor of The Revolution from Within: Cuba, 1959-1980 (2019).

Historically Speaking-Uncommon History with an Unconventional Pair

In October of 1492, Christopher Columbus landed on an island in the Caribbean Sea and christened it “Juana” in honor of Prince Don Juan, son of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain. From there, Cuba would remain under Spanish rule for over 400 years. Eventually, the United States would help the Cuban people overthrow their colonial rulers just as America had done a century before. Thus began a long and contentious relationship between America and Cuba. Ironically, it was America who also assisted a young Cuban revolutionary named Fidel Castro to overthrow a corrupt government and set up his own government. That was 1959 and Castro would remain in power for over 50 years while surviving more than 600 assassination attempts and outlasting 11 American presidents. With his death in 2016 and the resignation of his brother, Raul, in April of 2021, there have been new rumblings in Cuba. Will the Cuban people finally demand freedom, or will they continue under Communist rule? Will America once again involve herself in Cuban affairs? It seems there is more Cuban history yet to be written.BOOKSCuba: A History by Hugh ThomasThe History of Cuba by Clifford StatenThirteen Days: A Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis by Robert KennedyModern Times by Paul JohnsonAmerica: A Narrative History by George Tindall and David Shi FILMCuban Missile Crisis: Three Men Go to War (2012) DocumentaryJFK: A President Betrayed (2013) Documentary with Morgan Freeman narratingFidel (1971) DocumentaryThe Fidel Castro Tapes (2014) Documentary
