ISBN: 9780822358718 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The birth and development of commercial television in Cuba in the 1950s occurred alongside political and social turmoil. In this period of dramatic swings encompassing democracy, a coup, a dictatorship, and a revolution, television functioned as a beacon and promoter of Cuba s identity as a modern nation. In Broadcasting Modernity, television historian Yeidy M. Rivero shows how television owners, regulatory entities, critics, and the state produced Cuban modernity for television. The Cuban television industry enabled different institutions to convey the nation's progress, democracy,...

Cuba in the American Imagination: Metaphor and the Imperial Ethos
ISBN: 9780807886939 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For more than two hundred years, Americans have imagined and described Cuba and its relationship to the United States by conjuring up a variety of striking images--Cuba as a woman, a neighbor, a ripe fruit, a child learning to ride a bicycle. Louis A. Perez Jr. offers a revealing history of these metaphorical and depictive motifs and discovers the powerful motives behind such characterizations of the island as they have persisted and changed since the early nineteenth century. Drawing on texts and visual images produced by Americans ranging from government officials, policy makers, and...

The 1980 Mariel Boatlift was a profound episode in twentieth-century American history, impacting not just Florida, but the entire country.

Kathleen Dupes Hawk, Ron Villella, Adolfo Leyva de Varona, and Kristen Cifers... Winner of the Florida Historical Society's 2015 Stetson Kennedy Award

Leadership in the Cuban Revolution: The Unseen Story
ISBN: 9781780325279 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much of the literature on the Cuban Revolution seem to be mesmerised by the personality and role of Fidel Castro, an interpretation which has often prevented a deeper political understanding of the Revolution's underlying structures. Here Anthony Kapcia offers a much-needed corrective to 'Fidel-centric' histories of the Cuban revolution, focusing instead on a wider cast of characters unknown to casual observers. Besides the more obvious contributions from Che Guevara and Raul Castro, each decade since has seen several key players involved in the processes of decision-making, often making a...

Une histoire de Cuba et d'Espagne: pour les nuls
ISBN: 9781502531919 / Francuski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cuba possede une histoire singuliere. Contrairement au reste des territoires americains, son affranchissement n'est ni le resultat d'un processus independantiste ni de decolonisation. Bien que l'on l'oublie souvent, elle doit son statut actuel a une intervention des Etats-Unis. L'intercession nord-americaine etait souhaitee par une partie minoritaire de la population espagnole qui se disputait violemment les benefices de l'expansion economique de la Province avec Madrid. De lors, le fruit qui etait Cuba en 1898 tomba dans le panier americain. Le transfert de souverainete fut negocie a Paris...
