Greetings, everyone,
Your first posting should be about one paragraph long. We will be reading some information soon about the Cuban Revolution, and we will see Estela Bravo's biographical documentary about Fidel Castro. So the Cuban Revolution and revolution in general will be ongoing topics quite soon.
Your question to discuss for this posting is the following: How long can a revolution last (and still be called properly a revolution)? Click on "Comments" to add your posting.
Think about this in general terms. You do not need to refer to the Cuban Revolution necessarily, though if you know something about it already you may incorporate it in some way, if you wish.
Remember to post by this Sunday by 8:00 p.m. (For some of you this will mean posting before the film viewing).

Bienvenidos a...Miami? What about Havana?
Greetings, everyone! Welcome to "Cuba In and Out of Exile" (Spanish 117).
Did you know that not all Cuban-Americans are from Miami?
Did you know that you can see Cuba from the Florida Keys on a clear day? Have you ever wondered about our neighbor only 90 miles away?
This site will serve as our weekly discussion board. You will post comments, voice your thoughts, put forth analysis of texts and visual materials, as well as respond to your classmates' ideas. I hope this will help make your experience in our "Cuba" class exciting and productive. We will discuss revolution, exile, identity, place, language, and so much more.
You should view this posting not only as a way to interact with your classmates (and show your active participation in the course!) but also as an exercise in writing. Before you post, make sure that your posting is clear, concise, and well-written. Check over your work, and determine that your main point comes across.
Have fun!
