Bright and early we had Third World Underdevelopment and Politics Class for which we read a collection of essays by Fidel Castro called “Globalization in Crisis”. I would highly recommend reading some of Fidel’s essays and speeches to anyone interested in international politics. They are very well written and interesting regardless of your position on the man himself. Again, I really should not discuss politics on my blog, but one thing I feel entirely comfortable standing behind is that Cuba should not be on the United State’s list of terrorist nations. Really, that proposition is preposterous. Also, I would encourage any reader interested in US Cuban relations to research the Cuban 5. I have not been able to look up the American perspective yet, HOWEVER, you cannot go anywhere in Cuba with out seeing references to the Cuban 5 and their trial in the States.
Okay enough of that.
About Me
- H
- I'm a student originally from Portland, Maine. I've taken a few semesters off in the process of completing my undergraduate career at Tufts University. Island Hopping is a blog devoted to my time here in Bermuda. I am doing a research internship at BIOS, the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences. It describes a little bit of my research woes and triumphs and serves as a venue for comparisons I draw between Bermuda and Cuba, where I recently spent three months. Last semester I studied abroad in Havana. Though Cuba is physically very close to the United States, current restrictions make it very difficult to access for Americans. I hope Havana, Cuba and 1950s Chevrolets can offer a glimpse of my life in Havana to anyone interested. Email me with any suggestions, and I don't profess to be a writer so i'm sorry if I ramble.
