INTRODUCTION:  This HomePage for Cuban Sociology began at the 10th Meetings of the Conference for Social Sciences and Philosophy at Havana, Cuba in June, 1998.

It began as a simple report to sociology networks in the USA on recent developments in Cuba but expanded so fast that by the end of the Conference, the Director of the Red Feather Institute for Advanced Studies in Sociology decided to create a permanent Home Page for Cuban Sociology.

And, as it turned out, Cuban Sociology is so interconnected with Economics, Political Science, Social Psychology and, above all, a very activist Philosophy that we decided to have Pages and presentments for all the scholarly work on Cuba irrespective of discipline boundaries.

DISCLOSURE:  Cuba and its rich culture connects to so many young people in both countries in  so many intimate ways that, in these times, it becomes necessary to defeat the foreign policy of  the USA to isolate Cuba as well as the efforts of the Cuban Government to protect students in  Cuba from what it perceives to be the corrupting influences of the USA.

Perceptions of animosity are well grounded on the overt actions of the Government of the USA.  However, the scholars and students who contribute to this HomePage bear no such animus.  We do, however, have an over-reaching obligation to report developments in Cuban life with as much accuracy and validity as is humanly possible.  For that reason, some items on some of the pages of this web-site may appear to bear ill-will to Cuba; not so.   The items may criticize specific actions of the Cuban Government but the well being of the Cuban People are paramount.

Most of the contributors to this HomePage tend to believe in the Cuban Revolution; believe that it is a great improvement over the political economy of the country and hope, most profoundly, that the Cuban Revolution may serve as example to emulate for all the countries of South America and all the peoples of the world who must live at the margins of the core countries.

Viva La Revolucion   Viva la Gente del Cuba!
