楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>The extraordinary account of the Cuban people’s struggle for survival in a post-Soviet world</strong></p> <p>In the aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union, Cuba faced the start of a crisis that decimated its economy. Helen Yaffe examines the astonishing developments that took place during and beyond this period. Drawing on archival research and interviews with Cuban leaders, thinkers, and activists, this book tells for the first time the remarkable story of how Cuba survived while the rest of the Soviet bloc crumbled.</p> <p>Yaffe shows how Cuba has been gradually introducing select market reforms. While the government claims that these are necessary to sustain its socialist system, many others believe they herald a return to capitalism. Examining key domestic initiatives including the creation of one of the world’s leading biotechnological industries, its energy revolution, and medical internationalism alongside recent economic reforms, Yaffe shows why the revolution will continue post-Castro.</p> <p>This is a fresh, compelling account of Cuba’s socialist revolution and the challenges it faces today.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>"This evocative memoir is a joyous, rhythmic history" of the 11-sister dance band that broke musical and cultural barriers in 1930s Cuba and beyond ( <em>Publishers Weekly</em>).</strong></p> <p>In the 1930s, Havana was the place to be for tourists, ex-pats, celebrities, and excitement-seekers. Nights were filled with drinking, dancing, romance, and the roar of infectious music spilling from caf?s into the streets.

In her jubilant memoir, <em>Queens of Havana</em>, Alicia Castro tells of her incredible rise beyond her native city, to international stardomーswinging alongside legends from Dizzy Gillespie and Celia Cruz to Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway.</p> <p>In an age that insisted women be seen and not heard, Alicia Castro and her unstoppable sisters grabbed the world by the ears and got it dancing to their beat. At eighty-seven-years old, Alicia's stories are intoxicating and gloriously punctuated with more than 100 vintage photos, posters, and other memorabilia in a book that "reverberates with exotic echoes of a fabulous long-ago era" ( <em>Publishers Weekly</em>).</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Diplomacy Meets Migration US Relations with Cuba during the Cold War【電子書籍】[ Hideaki Kami ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Diplomacy Meets Migration examines diplomacy, migration, and the history of US relations with Cuba during the Cold War. Hideaki Kami draws on declassified US and Cuban diplomatic sources, as well as Miami-Cuban lobby records, to challenge traditional interpretations that mainly focus on the two national capitals, Washington and Havana. By incorporating Miami into the story of foreign affairs, Kami assesses the intersection between migration and diplomacy, and considers how migration emerged as a critical issue that shaped the dynamism of US relations with Cuba. Kami demonstrates that the US government reformulated its Cuban policy in response to Fidel Castro's institutionalization of power, while simultaneously trying to build a new relationship with the Miami Cuban community, a new, politically mobilized constituency within US society. He shows how both migration control and migrant politics became important components of US foreign policy, which in turn influenced Cuban policy toward the United States.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Behind Islands in the Stream Hemingway, Cuba, the FBI and the crook factory【電子書籍】[ Thomas Fensch ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Ernest Hemingway lived in Cuba for 20 years--1940-1960. After the Spanish Civil War, thousands of Spanish Falange (Spanish fascists) immigrated to Cuba. They were thought to be a threat to Cuba and to the U.S. With the blessing of, and financing by, the American Embassy in Havava, Hemingway recuited a ragtag band to spy on the Falange. He called them the "crook factory." The FBI became enraged that he was poaching on their territory. Later some of them worked as crew members on his yacht, the Pilar, when he hunted Nazi submarines in the Caribbean. Those adventures became the last segment of his novel, "Islands in the Stream," published in 1970. The FBI, under J. Edgar Hoover, never forgave nor forgot Hemingway.The FBI followed him for the rest of his life. He knew it but couldn't prove it; many of his friends simpy thought him paranoid.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

To Cuba and Back【電子書籍】[ Richard Henry Dana ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "To Cuba and Back," Richard Henry Dana presents a vivid and insightful memoir chronicling his journey to Cuba and the socio-economic dynamics he encountered. Written in the mid-19th century, Dana employs a narrative style that seamlessly blends personal reflection with astute observations on culture, commerce, and the stark contrasts between American and Caribbean life. His articulate prose not only captures the beauty of the Cuban landscape but also critiques the complexities of colonial exploitation, making it a significant contribution to travel literature of the era. Richard Henry Dana, an esteemed American author and social reformer, drew upon his own experiences as a sailor to shape this narrative. His earlier work, "Two Years Before the Mast," established him as a keen observer of life at sea, instilling a deep awareness of maritime culture and labor conditions. His travels, influenced by a growing interest in abolitionism and social justice, inspired him to explore the implications of U.S. expansionism, contributing to the themes of this book. "To Cuba and Back" is highly recommended for readers interested in 19th-century American literature, travel narratives, and the socio-political context surrounding colonialism. Dana's discerning observations and eloquent writing will captivate historians, literary scholars, and casual readers alike.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Revolutionary Horizons Art and Polemics in 1950s Cuba【電子書籍】[ Abigail McEwen ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<div><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;">Modernism in Havana reached its climax during the turbulent years of the 1950s as a generation of artists took up abstraction as a means to advance artistic and political goals in the name of <I>Cuba Libre</i>. During a decade of insurrection and, ultimately, revolution, abstract art signaled the country’s cultural worldliness and its purchase within the international avant-garde. This pioneering book offers the first in-depth examination of Cuban art during that time, following the intersecting trajectories of the artist groups Los Once and Los Diez against a dramatic backdrop of modernization and armed rebellion. Abigail McEwen explores the activities of a constellation of artists and writers invested in the ideological promises of abstraction, and reflects on art’s capacity to effect radical social change. Featuring previously unpublished artworks, new archival research, and extensive primary sources, this remarkable volume excavates a rich cultural history with links to the development of abstraction in Europe and the Americas.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;">?</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;">?</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;">?</p><BR><br> <br><br><br> ?</div>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Life in the Shadow: An Examination of the Minor Foreign Relations of the DPRK - North Korea Modern Pariah State, Iran, Cuba, Europe, Syria, Africa, India, Strategic Direction, Allies and Partners【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This excellent report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. At some point, every child is warned to remain mindful of the company kept. The idea behind this age-old admonishment is that people, in the absence of other information, often judge others by those with whom they are associated. Of course, individuals have a range of company they keep. If this range is viewed in a linear manner, it likely spans from bitter enemy to close friend. Where a given relationship falls on this linear scale may indicate a number of things to outsiders. Contained within this admonishment, like most venerable nuggets of wisdom, some element of truth likely exists. If this old adage is accepted, then perhaps it has utility in providing additional information about a state. This type of inquiry may have particular value and is the type of analysis that must be employed when examining an opaque state like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). With a state as closed and as secretive as the DPRK every bit of information that can be gathered is useful to the international community's understanding of this outlier state.<br /> Using this idea as a launching point, this thesis explores the diplomatic relations of the DPRK with an emphasis on the minor diplomatic relations of the state. Minor, for purposes of this thesis, does not speak to durability of the bond between two states. Instead, it simply means those countries with which the DPRK has relations that are not part of what is referred to as the Big Four Plus One (i.e., China, Japan, South Korea, Russia, and the United States). This thesis's core research questions are the following. What common characteristics may be identified in diplomatic relations of the DPRK, with a particular emphasis on its minor relations, and what insights can they offer into the internal and external workings of the state? Based on these insights what can be surmised regarding the strategic direction of the DPRK? Does current DPRK diplomatic outreach predict a more belligerent, defiant North Korea? Or, perhaps, a state becoming a more enmeshed-responsible player in the international system? Are emerging or new allies and partners appearing while other stalwarts of the DPRK state begin to wane?</p> <p>INTRODUCTION * A. MAJOR RESEARCH QUESTION * B. IMPORTANCE * C.

Campaigning in Cuba A Soldier's Tale from the Cuban Campaigns【電子書籍】[ George Kennan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Campaigning in Cuba," George Kennan chronicles his experiences and observations during the Cuban War of Independence, offering readers a rich tapestry of military strategy and personal reflection. The narrative blends keen political analysis with evocative descriptions of the Cuban landscape and its people, delving into the complexities of war and the ethical dilemmas faced by soldiers. Kennan's literary style is marked by clarity and introspection, seamlessly situating his firsthand accounts within the broader context of American imperialism and interventionist policy at the turn of the 20th century. George Kennan, a prominent American diplomat and historian, became an influential figure in shaping U.S. foreign policy. His formative experiences in Cuba provided him with not only intimate knowledge of guerrilla warfare and colonial dynamics but also a profound understanding of the implications of U.S. actions abroad. These insights were pivotal in his later work on the Cold War, where his ideas on containment and diplomacy gained significant traction. "Campaigning in Cuba" is an essential read for anyone interested in American history, military strategy, or Latin American studies. Kennan's thoughtful analysis and vivid storytelling offer invaluable lessons on the consequences of intervention, making this work both timely and timeless for contemporary readers.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Duke of Havana Baseball, Cuba, and the Search for the American Dream【電子書籍】[ Steve Fainaru ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In 1998, a mysterious right-handed pitcher emerged from the ashes of the Cold War and helped lead the New York Yankees to a World Championship. His origins and even his age were uncertain. His name was Orlando El Duque Hernandez. He was a fallen hero of Fidel Castro's socialist revolution.</p> <p>The chronicle of El Duque's triumph is at once a window into the slow death of Cuban socialism and one of the most remarkable sports stories of all time. Once hailed as a paragon of Castro's revolution, the finest pitcher in modern Cuban history was banned from baseball for life for allegedly plotting to defect. Instead of accepting his punishment, he fearlessly fought back, defying the Communist party authorities, vowing to pitch again, and ultimately fleeing his country in the bowels of a thirty-foot fishing boat.</p> <p>Here, for the first time and in astonishing detail, the secrets behind El Duque's persecution and escape are revealed. Moving from the crumbling streets of post Cold War Havana to the polarized world of exile Miami, from the deadly Florida Straits to the hallowed grounds of Yankee Stadium, it is a story of cloak-and-dagger adventure, audacious secret plots, the pull of big money, and the historic collision of ideologies.</p> <p>Present throughout are the larger-than-life characters who converged at this bizarre intersection of baseball and politics: El Duque himself, Fidel Castro, the Miami sports agent Joe Cubas, the late John Cardinal O'Connor along with scouts, smugglers, and the Cuban ballplayers who gave up their lives as tools of socialism to test the free market and chase their major-league dreams.</p> <p>Reported in the United States and Cuba by two award-winning journalists who became part of the story they were covering, The Duke of Havana is a riveting saga of sports, politics, liberation, and greed.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Digital Audio Editing Correcting and Enhancing Audio in Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, and Studio One【電子書籍】[ Simon Langford ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Whether you’re comping a vocal track, restoring an old recording, working with dialogue or sound effects for film, or imposing your own vision with mash-ups or remixes, audio editing is a key skill to successful sound production. <em>Digital Audio Editing</em> gives you the techniques, from the simplest corrective editing like cutting, copying, and pasting to more complex creative editing, such as beat mapping and time-stretching. You’ll be able to avoid unnatural-sounding pitch correction and understand the potential pitfalls you face when restoring classic tracks. Author Simon Langford invites you to see editing with his wide-angle view, putting this skill into a broad context that will inform your choices even as you more skillfully manipulate sound. Focusing on techniques applicable to any digital audio workstation, it includes break-outs giving specific keystrokes and instruction in Avid’s Pro Tools, Apple’s Logic Pro, Steinberg’s Cubase, and PreSonus’s Studio One. The companion websites includes tutorials in all four software packages to help you immediately apply the broad skills from the book.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Masters of War Latin America and U.S. Agression From the Cuban Revolution Through the Clinton Years【電子書籍】[ Clara Nieto ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In Masters of War, Clara Nieto adeptly presents the parallel histories of the countries of Latin America, histories that are intertwined, each reflecting the United States’ "coherent policy of intervention" set into motion by the Monroe Doctrine. As the value of this continued policy comes increasingly into question, Nieto argues for the need to evaluate the alarming precedent set in Latin America: the institution of client dictatorships, the roles played by the interests of U.S. corporations, the enormous tolls taken on civilian populations, and the irreversible disruption of regional stability.<br /> Drawing from an impressive array of documents and sources as well as from her unique first-hand insights as a participant in crucial meetings and negotiations in the region from the mid-1960s through the mid-1980s, Nieto chronicles the Cuban Revolution, the CIA-sponsored coup against popularly elected President Allende in Chile, the U.S. invasions of Panama and Grenada, U.S. support for the cultivation and training of paramilitary death squads in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Colombia, as well as similarly severe but less well-known situations in other countries such as Uruguay, Venezuela, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Honduras, and Guatemala.<br /> Masters of War offers, from an informed perspective, perhaps for the first time, a distanced, objective analysis of recent Latin American history. Clara Nieto’s depth of knowledge and understanding is an invaluable resource at a time when the media is seen as unapologetically aligned with the interests of major corporations and policymakers, and the American public has reached a new height of apprehension regarding the intentions behind and consequences of its government’s policies.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Euripides: Hecuba【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Hecuba was the most widely read play of Euripides from antiquity to the Renaissance, appealing to readers and spectators for its controversial treatment of moral themes: revenge, war and slavery, violence, human sacrifice, gender and ethnic relations. It narrates the death of Hecuba's daughter Polyxena, sacrificed by the Greeks to placate the ghost of Achilles, and that of her son Polydorus, killed out of greed by the Thracian king who was supposed to protect him. Hecuba successfully plots a cruel and shocking revenge against the killer. The play is now at the centre of the attention of scholars and performing artists. This edition offers new textual and interpretive suggestions, and provides detailed guidance on problems of language as well as employing conceptual tools from contemporary linguistics. It will be useful for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, as well as of interest to scholars.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
