A new book reveals an incredible slice of Cuban-American history that's been all but forgotten until now. Lisandro Perez‘s Sugar, Cigars and Revolution: The Making of Cuban New York (NYU Press, 2018) tells the story of a vibrant Cuban émigré community in 19th-century New York that ranged from wealthy sugar plantation owners investing their fortunes in New York real estate, to working-class Cubans rolling cigars in Lower Manhattan decades before the industry took hold in Tampa. Cubans in New York had their own businesses, newspapers, and clubs, and many were involved in the struggle to liberate Cuba from colonial Spain. Among those New York-based political activists was the great hero and poet Jose Marti, who lived most of his adult life here. In fact, says Perez, a professor at John Jay College of the City University of New York in the department of Latin American and Latino/Latina studies, New York was the most important city in the U.S. for Cubans until 1960, when of course Miami became the destination for Cubans fleeing communism. This interview is part of an occasional series on the history of New York City sponsored by the Gotham Center at CUNY.

On final approach to Havana's José Martí International Airport in 1977, the Aeroflot Ilyushin IL-62M with 69 people on board, descended below the clouds and the pilot immediately was confronted with power lines between the plane and the runway – and the runway was close. The pilot attempted to pull the nose up to avoid the powerlines, but the emergency maneuver was not enough – the plane clipped the power lines and the steel-reinforced cables severed the vertical stabilizer from the rest of the plane. Rendered uncontrollable, the plane pitched sharply down and to the right, impacting the ground within seconds of contact with the power lines. The plane burst into flames, and though the rear of the fuselage was relatively intact, there were only two survivors. What, exactly, happened on this day, some 46 years ago? An airliner from one of the world's largest airlines clipping powerlines? A rookie mistake like this seems impossible. How did – how could – this happen? There aren't many details, but the Radar Contact Lost team examines the details and tries to fill in the blanks.
How did the Florida Keys become a critical gathering point in Cuba's struggle for independence from Spain? What role does Key West's Cuban community play in preserving Cuban heritage?

At age 91, my mom, Martina, lived in the historic neighborhood Ybor City in Tampa, independedly and surrounded by Cuban heritage. Everyday, on her way to the grocery store she passed Jose Marti's bust, at the Cuban Club a spot where our he came to raise funds for the liberation of Cuba from Spanish colonial rule. For her, this day would not be an ordinary day, as you will hear. A los 91 años, mi madre, Martina, vivía en el histórico barrio de Ybor City en Tampa, independientemente y rodeada de herencia cubana. Todos los días, de camino a la bodega, pasaba por el busto de José Martí, en el círculo cubano, un lugar donde nuestro apóstol venía a recaudar fondos para la liberación de Cuba del dominio colonial español. Para ella, este día no sería un día ordinario, como escucharán. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/susana-mueller/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/susana-mueller/support
Arlyn Broche Breakout star and stunning Cuban beauty Arlyn Broche is taking Hollywood by storm in the highly anticipated Season 2 of NBC's "Young Rock.” Broche appeared in 6 of the 12 episodes in the season, starring as Dany Garcia, the woman behind the iconic Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Audiences will recognize Arlyn from series such as “Ballers,” “Gravesend,” and “The Haves and the Haves Nots”, produced by Tyler Perry to name a few. In “Gravesend,” the series about a Brooklyn mob family in the 1980's, Arlyn stars alongside Louis Lombardi, Leo Rossi and William DeMeo who also serves as writer and director of the series. Broche stars as Danielle, a Cuban that meets Benny once he leaves for Florida to leave the world of crime. The series is currently available on Amazon Prime and Tubi. Dubbed “La Broche,” by her Latin following, she is quickly becoming the newest Latina to take over Hollywood. Both on and off the screen, she is representing Latinas everywhere as the new VP of Content for Areu Bros. Studios, the largest Latin studio in the United States. As the daughter of Cuban immigrants, the Miami native had acting in her blood, quite literally. Her father was a very successful television, film and theatre actor in Cuba, Arlyn was destined to follow in his footsteps and from an early age envisioned herself to become a successful Hollywood actress. For political reasons the family had to flee the country in the Mariel boat lift with Arlyn's two older siblings. A gifted and creative child, at 9 years old, she was cast as Shakespeare's 'Juliet,' later chosen to recite Jose Marti's famous poem 'Cultivo una Rosa Blanca' at a Spanish Heritage Festival and subsequently cast in different roles, none too small, so long as they allowed her the opportunity to continue to express her passion for the arts. Arlyn went on to play different roles in her personal and professional life, including the role of young wife, mother of three kids and entrepreneur. After graduating from G Holmes Braddock High School, she went on to attend Florida International University to major in business. Simultaneously, she was managing a family bakery with her high school sweetheart turned husband and gave birth to her first child. The young wife and mother at only 19-years-old proved she could handle lots of responsibility. One thing led to another, and she decided to change her major to health care administration, and became the sole owner and administrator of a health care company. But, no matter what life threw at Arlyn, she never abandoned her dream of pursuing a career as an actress. Even while managing her business, she auditioned and was accepted into the FIU Theatre program, while also being mentored and trained privately by Crystina Wyler, Lori Wyman, Marc Macauley, Marjorie W. Morhaim and Jeanett Hopkins, among others. When she isn't on set or at an audition, Arlyn loves spending time with her husband, Osvaldo and their three children: Victoria, Justin and Sophia.

This week the Bros are going to Guatemala! Or more specifically, a friend of the podcast brings back a piece of Guatemala for the Bros! We're drinking Gallo this week, the most popular beer from that Central American country, and one of only two Western Hemisphere beers to win one of the world's most prestigious prizes. Alongside this wonderful ale, we're reading Jose Marti, one of Cuba's most famous poets. While Cuba may be his homeland, we'll learn how Marti also became one of Guatemala's most famous poet, and the tragic story behind one of his greatest poems "The Girl of Guatemala."

By examining industrial patterns, foreign relations, Gilded Age masculinity, and the rise of print and consumer culture, Charlie's work seeks to discover why American citizens began to support, or at least comply with, a more aggressive role for the United States on the world stage starting with the Spanish-American War in 1898. Charlie has also spent the last six years as a public historian at organizations like the American Victory Museum in Tampa, Independence Seaport Museum in Philadelphia, and H-War, the military history arm of H-Net Online listserv history database. ***Charlie Harris is a Doctoral Candidate in the University of South Florida History Department studying the United States military during the Gilded Age/Progressive Era.***Artwork by Nacer Ahmadi: IG @x.filezzz

What's up to my polymath panthers and purposeful porpoises! Welcome back to the BNP y'all, another episode of splendor and glory. It's late and I'm tired, so this summary is gonna be short and sweet.Let's learn about vertical farming! This episode is the first installment in a series that aims to meander down the forest trail of... Utopia. What would Utopia look like? What factors would need to be prioritized in a Utopian society? How would Utopia utilize agritecture to feed its people? This episode aims to address the food security side of Utopia by conveying the concept of Vertical Farming. There are currently several functioning vertical farms in the world, feeding people in big cities as we speak. For the purpose of this series, I'm not going to dwell too heavily on the question of whether Utopia is possible. As far as I'm concerned, anything is possible. So we may as well strive for something dope. Help me expand our tribe of philosopher-barbarians by rating, reviewing and subscribing to the BNP.

What's up to all my Barbarous Revolutionaries and Insuperable Love Bugs! This episode is the first installment of a BNP Original Minisode Series about the life of Fidel Castro and the history of the Cuban Revolution. Open your mind and let go of preconceived notions as the BNP revisits Fidel Castro's singular legacy, and we take a deep dive into the makings of the remarkable island nation of Cuba. Cuba has successfully stood up to and withstood the inexorable hostility of the world's greatest superpower just 103 miles off its shore for the past 61 years, since Fidel led the successful Cuban Revolution, overthrowing the U.S. and Mafia puppet dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959.This first episode begins all the way back through the misty sands of time, and examines pre-European Cuban history with a look at the indigenous inhabitants of the island, including the Taino people. We go up to 1898, after Cuba's first two wars of independence, the first being the 10 year war of independence against Spain from 1868-1878 and the second being Jose Marti's 3 year war of independence from 1895-1898. In 1898 the U.S. defeats Spain, ending the Spanish-American war, and Spain fully cedes Cuba to the United States. The second BNP Minisode installment of Revisiting Fidel is coming soon, and will pick up from there. Thank you for listening and supporting the BNP!

The first Gato cigar factory is a three story building constructed in 1870, the first for the fact that was used for receiving tobacco and distributing scars. The second story consisted of rows and rows of benches, and rolling tables, where workers produced a wide range of cigars in front of the workers was a raised lectern for a reader. This reader was paid by the factory workers to be books, poetry, and daily newspapers. While they work on the third floor, the tobacco was both stored and sorted to the best grade of tobacco leaves that was chosen for the outer layer of the cigars. In 1915, the original building was destroyed by fire. Construction of a new fireproof factory started in 1916, and was finally completed in 1920, during the construction of the new factory. Eduardo Gato moved his operations to several buildings on the island that had been vacated by the cigar companies that have relocated to Tampa when Eduardo Hidalgo Gato open the new factory in Key West. He did everything he could to ensure that he had the best cigar artisans working under his roof to better the lives of his workers. He built a city of 40 cigar makers cottages around his factory started the first street car system, created a hospital and supported a baseball league. The average day of factory workers was very structured Saunders would arrange the Cuban tobacco leaves into 20 shades of brown, the most expensive leaves were used for the wrapper. The rollers knew exactly how many tobacco leaves to roll into cigars each day. All the rollers had their own rolling tables, and were paid by the number of cigars they crafted each day, a good roller could produce an average of 300 cigars a day, the factory itself was illuminated only by natural sunlight. cigar factories were typically built on a north south axis, so that the windows face the east and west. The maximizing the hours of sunlight in the Gato factory employed 500 workers and produce 70,000 cigars every single day in December of the factory output reached 400,000 cigars a week. From 1899-1905 Key West averaged $2.3 million a year in cigar exports. Eduardo Gato's house located at 1209 Virginia Street, with its elaborate Queen and style detailing was built in 1911 by E.H. Gato, Sr. The Gato family was one of Key West most prominent families and three generations of the family lived here all the way up until 1951. Eduardo Gato was a Cuban patriot who helped finance Cuba's revolutionary leaders, including Jose Marti who fought for freedom from Spain. Gato came to Key West in 1874 he was instrumental in Key West evolution from a small fishing town to one of Florida's wealthiest cities through his development of the Cuban tobacco industry gotta was president of the E.H. Gato Cigar Company, Vice President of the Key West Bank and proprietor of the Key West streetcar a horse drawn system and oversaw the extensive Gato real estate holdings. In 1911. Eduardo Gato donated his house to become a hospital with the stipulation that it would be called Mercedes hospital after his wife Mercedes. On a side note this property at 1209 Virginia street is currently for sale its list price, $3.85 million. It was today, December 4, 1926 that Eduardo Hidalgo Gato died in Havana, Cuba.

A new book reveals an incredible slice of Cuban-American history that’s been all but forgotten until now. Lisandro Perez‘s Sugar, Cigars and Revolution: The Making of Cuban New York (NYU Press, 2018) tells the story of a vibrant Cuban émigré community in 19th-century New York that ranged from wealthy sugar plantation owners investing their fortunes in New York real estate, to working-class Cubans rolling cigars in Lower Manhattan decades before the industry took hold in Tampa. Cubans in New York had their own businesses, newspapers, and clubs, and many were involved in the struggle to liberate Cuba from colonial Spain. Among those New York-based political activists was the great hero and poet Jose Marti, who lived most of his adult life here. In fact, says Perez, a professor at John Jay College of the City University of New York in the department of Latin American and Latino/Latina studies, New York was the most important city in the U.S. for Cubans until 1960, when of course Miami became the destination for Cubans fleeing communism. This interview is part of an occasional series on the history of New York City sponsored by the Gotham Center at CUNY.

The Incomplete, True, Authentic and Wonderful History of May Day (PM Press, 2007) is a new collection of essays from Peter Linebaugh about the history of May Day. The essays were written for a range of occasions celebrating or otherwise relating to May Day. Collectively, the essays recognize the power of May Day historically and internationally. They reflect on the holiday in relation to a number of historical figures from Native American anarcho-communist Lucy Parsons, the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement, and Karl Marx to Jose Marti, W. E. B. Du Bois, and SNCC, along with many others. The book also makes an argument for the continued relevance and importance of this workers’ day. In the interview Linebaugh discusses his own background as a child of empire from schooling in London to working as a professor in the United States and living in numerous places in between. He introduces listeners to some of the essays in detail and then generally talks about the importance of May Day historically. He also addresses questions about the continued relevance of the holiday today, including possible lessons for today’s political and economic climate. Christine Lamberson is an Assistant Professor of History at Angelo State University. Her research and teaching focuses on 20thcentury U.S. political and cultural history. She’s currently working on a book manuscript about the role of violence in shaping U.S. political culture in the 1960s and 1970s. She can be reached at clamberson@angelo.edu.

I learned a lot this episode. With this mixed drink I learned more about Cuba, Coca-Cola, the Spanish American War and the Cuban Revolution and I learned that the standard rum and Coke originally had a different name. [caption id="attachment_906" align="alignright" width="300"] Cuban Revolutionaries in Tampa.[/caption] The Cuba Libre is essentially a rum and Coke with lime juice added. I had no idea that this combination existed as a named cocktail previously. The tumultuous tale of how Cuba acquired its freedom...or almost acquired its freedom...must be told to get to the traditional story explaining the origins of the Cuba Libre. At the end of the Spanish American War in 1899 (we go into much more depth in the show) the United States was left with several new maritime colonies to manage including Cuba. It was this standing presence of U.S. soldiers on the island that made it possible for U.S. serviceman Captain Charles Russel to make a toast in a Havana bar "Por Cuba libre!" [caption id="attachment_908" align="alignleft" width="211"] Jose Marti, Father of Cuban Independence[/caption] We 0ften regard heroic stories like this with a degree of skepticism. Unfortunately, there is usually very little we can do to verify their truth other than checking the circumstances. The circumstantial evidence itself is sound. There was, indeed, a Captain Russel who fought in the war and was stationed in Cuba and Coca-Cola was available in Cuba at the time. There is nothing in the story that is outwardly false and to some extent the verified unnecessary specifics suggest more value towards it being a genuine story. Another interesting aspect of this cocktail is how the story about it kept growing after its inception. As American interests soured relations with the Cubans, the cocktail's name became somewhat of a bitter pill so that now throughout the Caribbean the drink is known as La Mentirita which means "the little lie." Also, with the rise of Communism on Cuba, the focus for the drink has shifted and now the drink is used in toasts by Cuban dissidents in America as a political statement against Castro. Once again we see cocktails shifting to fit the culture that values them. The drink is made thusly: 2 oz rum Juice of 1/2 a lime Coca-Cola The lime juice does make it more than a rum and coke, but we all agree it doesn't make it incredibly better. Now, in my travels, I learned from another fellow that in South America they routinely add cinnamon to their Cuba Libres, so we tried that version as well. I have to admit after having the cinnamon added (traditionally they either sprinkle it on top or used a cinnamon stick to mix it) I don't want to drink rum and cokes without adding cinnamon ever again. It changes it up so dramatically that it makes the beverage a whole new monster.
Martin feels uncomfortable about his reception in Cuba, but things begin to change when he meets Luka. We learn of Martin's connection to Jose Marti.

Michaeline A Crichlow is Associate Professor of Sociology and of African and African American Studies at Duke University. She is interested in projects related to citizenship, nationalism and development mainly in the Atlantic and Pacific regions. Michaeline's current projects are focused on the sorts of claims that populations deemed diasporic make on states, and how this reconfigures their communities and general sociocultural practices. She is also interested in development's impact on social and economic environments, and the way this structures and restructures people's assessments of their spaces for the articulation and pursuit of particular kinds of freedoms. She has attempted to project these perspectives in her new book, Globalization and the Postcreole Imagination: Notes on Fleeing the Plantation (July 2009) and her current project, Power and its Subjects: Development Dilemmas, Postcolonial Restructuring of Rural Spaces/Places/Identities and State Reconfiguration. The title for the Spring 2011 Colloquium series is "Our America: Cross Currents and Intimate Dialogues in the Making of a Hemisphere." The idea of America has long been dissected and reconstituted by a number of ideologues, theorists, policymakers, artists, activists, and ordinary people. Each has sought to craft a new existence that distinguished itself from "Old World" tyranny and tensions, significantly through the creation of imagined communities of identity and belonging, based on various cultural, political-economic, and social criteria. In a "New World" where delineations of territory and definitions of home have shifted as populations, resources, and hegemonies respond to global and local forces, debated claims to "our America" (to borrow from 19th century Cuban intellectual Jose Marti) reveal "America" to be an extraordinarily malleable notion, one that shapes and reflects understandings of belonging, identity, rights, and justice--across shifting borders and diverse conceptualizations of region and hemisphere. Emphasizing anthropological and historical approaches, this course will explore "our America" as simultaneously sites of empirical practice and imagined ways of being, where the interfaces, or cross currents among "American" ideas, dialogues, and communities raise questions about the ways data inform categories of analysis as well as categories of experience
