As a student with very limited knowledge on the Cuban revolution, with information only gathered from movies about the Cuban missile crisis and short reads on the Bay of Pigs, as well as the numerous sightings of Che Guevara shirts, I found this paper to be a great opportunity to learn more about a subject that has been a large part of American politics. However, after reading the chapter about the Cuban revolution in Jan Rogozinski’s book, I found that there were main issues that could be…

Although it certainly contributed to the overall conflict, ideology was not the main concern that brought about the Cuban Missile Crisis but rather the threat of national security that it imposed on the US, Cuba and Soviet Union. The reason the crisis occurred was due to distinct differences in views on how society should be run and not simply based on rivalry amongst the superpowers. The US believed in democracy, and due to Soviet influence, Cuba supported a communist regime. It is undeniable…

It is not accurate to state that the Cuban Revolution was the event that turned Che into a great leader. In fact, the best way to approach his greatness is by Collins´ flywheel effect, which states that with persistent pushing, in a consistent direction, over a prolonged period of time, the flywheel would build momentum, eventually hitting a point of breakthrough.

Even though Mendieta’s work fits within the earth art movement, her artwork’s…

In the case of the Cuban Revolution we must find sources from Cubans and Americans to give the reader the information that one source may lack. While most americans in the 1960’s saw Cuba as a threat and Castro and his revolution as a failure that could lead to the downfall of the U.S., most Cubans supported Castro is his goals for the country and that capitalism was imperial. They saw the reforms put in…

Both masculine and feminine constructions have occurred, with Fidel Castro’s beard as a sign of masculinity or how patriarchy before the 1930’s shaped the way that women were sexualized and controlled. In the past century, women’s roles had changed tremendously from before the revolution, during the revolution, and post-revolution. Cuban women were sexualized before the revolution, which increased…
