Cuba Today:

Continuity and Change since the 'Periodo Especial'

Symposium
October 4-5, 2004

This symposium is organized by:
Bildner Center for Western Hemisphere Studies: Cuba Project
The City University of New York, Graduate Center

Location:
CUNY Graduate Center
365 5th Avenue @34th Street
New York, New York 10016

This symposium explores contemporary Cuban reality since the early 1990s. The crisis of state socialism after 1989 challenged pre-existing policies, practices, and assumptions, providing incentives for innovation and reform. Many areas of social life are experiencing considerable change, while legacies of the revolution endure. The symposium will gather students and scholars from diverse disciplines and institutions to probe patterns of continuity and change in economics, politics and policy, civil society, art and literature, race relations and national identity, culture, historical perspectives, and Cuba's role in world affairs. The symposium builds on the expertise of Cuba specialists at the City University of New York.
