This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La obra que está delante de tus ojos, querido lector, es el resultado de una larga investigación realizada en la Facultad de Filosofía e Historia de la Universidad de la Habana, y en breve se convertirá, sin lugar a dudas, de una obra de obligada referencia para todos aquellos interesados en el origen y desarrollo de instituciones, movimiento e ideas religiosas cubanas. El tema específico es El Protestantismo Histórico en Cuba (1883-1959), que nos sitúa en el apogeo de la lucha por la independencia de Cuba contra la dominación española, que comenzó con el Grito de Yara en la Demajagua, culmina, aunque un tanto frustrada en sus ideales, en 1898 con la intervención norteamericana. Este proceso que transita por la neocolonia o más bien llamada, pseudorepública llega a su fin con el triunfo de la Revolución Cubana en 1959.
Book Synopsis Decolonizing Theology in Revolution by : Ary Fernández-Albán
Download or read book Decolonizing Theology in Revolution written by Ary Fernández-Albán and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on decolonial perspective, this book provides a critical retrieval of Sergio Arce’s theological thought, and proposes it as a source of inspiration to continue renewing liberation theologies in Cuba and in Latin America. In light of current social contexts in Cuba and abroad, this volume examines the relevance of Arce’s theological legacy, identifying significant contributions and also key limitations. It presents a panoramic view of the historical contexts previous to Arce’s articulation of his theology, and also reconstructs the various stages of the development of his theology by reviewing his major writings from the early 1960s to the late 1990s. Bringing Arce into a conversation with other recognized Latin American liberation theologians, this book delivers a reconstruction of his major theological insights related to discourses and practices of liberation, highlighting important similarities and differences between their approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuba has been transformed more radically within one decade than almost any society in recent history.

Book Synopsis Patriots and Traitors in Revolutionary Cuba, 1961–1981 by : Lillian Guerra
Download or read book Patriots and Traitors in Revolutionary Cuba, 1961–1981 written by Lillian Guerra and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authorities in postrevolutionary Cuba worked to establish a binary society in which citizens were either patriots or traitors. This all-or-nothing approach reflected in the familiar slogan “patria o muerte” (fatherland or death) has recently been challenged in protests that have adopted the theme song “patria y vida” (fatherland and life), a collaboration by exiles that, predictably, has been banned in Cuba itself. Lillian Guerra excavates the rise of a Soviet-advised Communist culture controlled by state institutions and the creation of a multidimensional system of state security whose functions embedded themselves into daily activities and individual consciousness and reinforced these binaries. But despite public performance of patriotism, the life experience of many Cubans was somewhere in between. Guerra explores these in-between spaces and looks at Cuban citizens’ complicity with authoritarianism, leaders’ exploitation of an earnest anti-imperialist nationalism, and the duality of an existence that contains elements of both support and betrayal of a nation and of an ideology.

Download or read book Cuba written by Ted A. Henken and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 727 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by some of the best-known independent scholars, citizen journalists, cyber-activists, and bloggers living in Cuba today, this book presents a critical, complete, and unbiased overview of contemporary Cuba. In this era of ever-increasing globalization and communication across national borders, Cuba remains an isolated island oddly out of step with the rest of the world. And yet, Cuba is beginning to evolve via the important if still insufficient changes instituted by Raul Castro, who became president in 2008. This book supplies a uniquely independent, accurate, and critical perspective in order to evaluate these changes in the context of the island's rich and complex history and culture. Organized into seven topical chapters that address geography, history, politics and government, economics, society, culture, and contemporary issues, readers will gain a broad, insightful understanding of one of the most unusual, fascinating, and often misunderstood nations in the Western Hemisphere.

Book Synopsis Like Leaven in the Dough by : José Carlos Mondragón González Mondragón
Download or read book Like Leaven in the Dough written by José Carlos Mondragón González Mondragón and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Like Leaven in the Dough: Protestant Social Thought in Latin America, 1920-1950, Carlos Mondrag n offers an introduction to the ideas of notable Protestant writers in Latin America during the first half of the twentieth century. Despite their national and denominational differences, Mondrag n argues that Protestant intellectuals developed a coherent set of ideas about freedom of religion and thought, economic justice, militarism, and national identity. This was a period when Protestants comprised a very small proportion of Latin America's total population; their very marginality compelled them to think creatively about their identity and place in Latin American society. Accused of embracing a foreign faith, these Protestants struggled to define national identities that had room for religious diversity and liberty of conscience. Marginalized and persecuted themselves, Latin America's Protestants articulated a liberating message decades before the appearance of Catholic Liberation Theology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En la presente obra, la autora aborda científicamente la historia de la educación protestante en Cuba durante las tres primeras décadas de la etapa republicana, para lo cual se ha nutrido en su acuciosa investigación de documentos y publicaciones de la época, así como de fuentes orales provenientes de profesores y exalumnos de colegios protestantes. El lector podrá conocer que para metodistas, presbiterianos y bautistas, entre otras denominaciones, la educación centrada en el infante, los buenos modales, los conocimientos tanto científicos como artísticos y cualquier otro que le pudiera servir al alumno en su vida adulta, fueron aspectos esenciales en sus escuelas. Resulta importante destacar que fueron estos religiosos y sus instituciones escolares las que introdujeron en nuestro país la coeducación; algo que nos parece tan natural en la actualidad. Sin lugar a dudas, este libro contribuye al rescate de una historia sin prejuicios desde una perspectiva científica."--Publisher
Book Synopsis Protestantism and Political Conflict in the Nineteenth-century Hispanic Caribbean by : Luis Martínez-Fernández
Download or read book Protestantism and Political Conflict in the Nineteenth-century Hispanic Caribbean written by Luis Martínez-Fernández and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catholicism has long been recognized as one of the major forces shaping the Hispanic Caribbean (Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic) during the nineteenth century, but the role of Protestantism has not been fully explored. Protestantism and Political Conflict in the Nineteenth-Century Hispanic Caribbean traces the emergence of Protestantism in Cuba and Puerto Rico during a crucial period of national consolidation involving both social and political struggle. Using a comparative framework, Martínez-Fernández looks at the ways in which Protestantism, though officially "illegal" for most of the century, established itself, competed with Catholicism, and took differing paths in Cuba and Puerto Rico. One of the book's main goals is to trace the links between religion and politics, particularly with regard to early Protestant activities. Protestants encountered a complex social, economic, and political landscape both in Cuba and in Puerto Rico and soon found that their very presence, coupled with their demands for freedom of worship and burial rights, involved them in a series of interrelated struggles in which the Catholic Church was embroiled along with the other main forces of the period--the peasantry, the agrarian bourgeoisie, the mercantile bourgeoisie, and the colonial state. While the established Catholic Church increasingly identified with the conservative, pro-slavery, and colonialist causes, newly arrived Protestants tended to be nationalistic and to pursue particular economic activities--such as cigar exportation in Cuba and the sugar industry in Puerto Rico. The author argues that the early Protestant communities reflected the socio-cultural milieus from which they emerged and were profoundly shaped by the economic activities of their congregants. This influence, in turn, shaped not only the congregations' composition, but also their political and social orientations.

Book Synopsis Cuban Counterpoints by : Mauricio A. Font
Download or read book Cuban Counterpoints written by Mauricio A. Font and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2004-12-23 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Fernando Ortiz's contribution to our understanding of Cuba and Latin America more generally has been widely recognized since the 1940s, recently there has been renewed interest in this scholar and activist who made lasting contributions to a staggering array of fields. This book is the first work in English to reassess Ortiz's vast intellectual universe. Essays in this volume analyze and celebrate his contribution to scholarship in Cuban history, the social sciences—notably anthropology—and law, religion and national identity, literature, and music. Presenting Ortiz's seminal thinking, including his profoundly influential concept of 'transculturation', Cuban Counterpoints explores the bold new perspectives that he brought to bear on Cuban society. Much of his most challenging and provocative thinking—which embraced simultaneity, conflict, inherent contradiction and hybridity—has remarkable relevance for current debates about Latin America's complex and evolving societies.
