El socialismo y el hombre en Cuba
Escrito hace 45 años, este ensayo capital del Guerrillero Heroico tomó inusitada vigencia tras el derrumbe del modelo socialista soviético y europeo. Es un claro ejemplo de lucidez dialéctica e histórica, que permite interpretar las ideas socialistas en el contexto único de América Latina y el Caribe y, muy en particular, en el caso de Cuba. Revela entero al hombre de pensamiento y paradigma humano del siglo XXI que sin dudas fue Ernesto Guevara. Retomarlo y aprehenderlo hoy ha sido vital para los cubanos. Al final del artículo, se presenta una cronología a cerca del caso de los cinco héroes cubanos que data desde el año 1998 hasta el año 201
Money, Love, and Fragile Reciprocity in Contemporary Havana, Cuba
Among low-income Havana residents, men frequently give money and other forms of material support to women in whom they have a romantic interest. For women, men's material contributions are expressions of responsibility and care. While men share this view to a degree, they sometimes have more ambiguous emotions regarding such practices. These tensions in different views of gendered reciprocity are influenced by large-scale changes that have taken place in Cuban society since the 1990s. Although, traditionally, state socialism has embraced ideas of gender egalitarianism and women's independent income, the post-Soviet period has seen the emergence of new inequalities, dependencies, and marginalizations that threaten earlier, socialist understandings of intimacy. The importance that women currently place on material wealth in terms of their views of a desirable partner highlights the gendered consequences of Cuba's contemporary economic transformations and their complex interplay with individuals' aspirations for love.Peer reviewe
Going underground: Resort to terrorism in mass mobilization dissident campaigns
© The Author(s) 2018. When and why do groups participating in mass dissent choose to initiate terrorist campaigns? I argue that groups involved in civil wars and mass civil resistance might face similar organizational pressures, which encourage the initiation of terrorism due to higher tactical effectiveness. Internal organizational pressure might depend on leaders’ expectations of a decline in followers’ commitment with protracted use of mass tactics. This is likely to motivate leaders to initiate terrorist campaigns to secure organizational survival. External organizational pressures might depend on increasing dissident campaigns’ fragmentation. This intensifies competition making leaders more likely to initiate terrorism so as to establish themselves at the forefront of their movements. The findings provide empirical support consistent with my
claims and indicate no significant difference between civil wars and mass civil resistance movements with regards to these effects. Contrary to the common idea that the use of conventional violence should entail a higher willingness to engage in illegal violence against non-combatants, this finding suggests that conflict dynamics affect the decision to
initiate terrorism and that terrorist campaigns have a coherent strategic logic across different types of mass dissent.Economic and Social Research Council (1511095
