Fulgencio Batista is one example among many of people with mixed heritage who did not proclaim himself Black in any way, shape, form, or fashion:

Fulgencio Batista is an example of many things. Of the kind of leaders that the United States sponsored under the quasi-annexation the Platt and Teller Amendments secured. Of the kind of person who has mixed ancestry but did not consider himself Black (his ancestors were Black, Chinese, and Taino, as well as white, respectively). His regime was a brutal corrupt thing that had limited to no popular appeal, hence the ability of a relatively weak and puny movement led by Fidel Castro to depose it.

Batista also 'recruited' Haitian laborers in the sugar industry called Braceros who are in that nebulous 'not quite slavery' concept much like US sharecroppers in the Deep South who did live on cotton plantations and worked themselves to the bone in a region whose economy was very much reliant on their labor.

“CUBAN REBEL EXILES,” Vancouver Sun. February 22, 1933. Page 7. ---- Threats of revolt against the rule of President Gerardo Machado in Cuba are heard often in Havana these days and many of the rumors say that this group, now in exile in Florida, is planning some action, particularly since reports say Mario Menocal (upper right) flew to Cuba to head a new revolutionary force. In the group are (from left): First row: General Menocal. who led an unsuccessful revolution in 1931; Dr. S. Verdeja, Dr. M. Fraga. Second row: E. Arguellas, R. Menocal and F. Arguellas. Upper row: R. Del Viro, E. Arguellas and Mario Menocal.

Raising 'Em In Hotbeds 

September 25, 1906

Secretary of War William H. Taft cultivates his Presidential Boom Plant in Cuba; Secretary of State Elihu Root grows his in South America.

The caption reads 'Can the secretaries transplant them in their native land?'

Taft and Root were both considered strong presidential candidates, and if their work in Cuba and South America paid off, it would hopefully serve to enhance their reputations even more.

My latest documentary for CBC Radio is an idea I've been working on for over a decade. The story of a cigar, from seed to roller, and what tobacco means to Cuban culture, history and society.

On This Day In History

February 16th, 1959: Fidel Castro becomes premier of Cuba.

“A fascinating but forgotten story about the Cold War, child refugees, and civil rights. This is more than a book about the beginnings of Cuban Miami or a foreign relations alliance between the Catholic Church and the U.S. government; it is also a reminder of the complex origins of our own times. Operation Pedro Pan is a brilliant history by a stellar writer.”

In the late 1800′s Cuba launched an offensive against their colonial masters in Spain. This began with the largest land and slave owner on the island freeing their slaves. In the following years European Vubans, Meztizo Cubans, and African Cubans united to expel this hostile occupation.   Across the gulf the US took note of potential for Cuba to become the Venice of the Atlantic. SO The US blamed the sinking of the USS Maine on Spain, and went to war.   The Americans fought alongside the citizens of the newly formed Cuban republic. Once that partnership was over a new subjugation of the cuban people began.  From the Platt amendment to consistent interference from the US when American interests were in danger.  Along came Castro, and Eisenhower forewent the precedence set up by their predecessors and ignores the “cuban revolution”   This lead to the installation of the Castro Regime, and the abolition of many workers councils, and worker run industries. Thanks to a marriage of Cuba and the Soviet union Cuba was sustained up until the early 80′s.  What followed was the collapse of the soviet union and what we call “el periodo especial” or “the special period” for you gringos. During this time, food shortages were rampant, people starved, malnourished individuals took to the ocean and fled to the United states.  This lit a spark in Castro’s head and so we come to the Mariel boat lift. Once these boats arrived my kinsmen and kinswomen were confined to live in nothing short of an internment camp under I-95.   As time progressed the world recognized the danger Cuban dissidents were in and so the wet foot dry food policy was instituted.   From the second the Cuban migration started through to present day, democrats in particular have destroyed the hopes and lives of Cubans and Cuban-Americans. Which drove most of my parents generation over to the same republicans who forced the Platt amendment on the newly formed Cuban republic in the early days of the 1900′s.    Thankfully my generation is  shifting away from the American government as a source of protection, and guidance. Thankfully my generation has a bit more access to information, and historical sources detailing the gruesome history of our tiny island.

Santeria differs from Voodoo in one major way:

Instead of French colonialism and the sugar industry it's Spanish colonialism and....the sugar industry. The French were the most blatant money-grubbing bastards in the colonial world of the Americas, which when their competition was the proto-US and the Spanish Empire and the Portuguese Empire (and all the little attempts the bigger ones ground up and got rid of) is a hard margin to hit but they did. The Spanish offered a caste system that had a narrowly wider region to integrate.....and in the end the main gap is instead of calling the Orishas Loa they're called Santos or Saints and there's a more directly Catholic and less overtly African aspect to Santeria.
