Facing Fascism: New York and the Spanish Civil War The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) was an early battleground in the international rise of fascism. Although the United States stayed officially neutral, thousands of Americans passionately took sides in the conflictbetween Spain's elected government and the rebellion led by General Francisco Franco and backed by Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.


New York served as the hub of media coverage, public debate, and recruitment ofvolunteers to fight in Spain. Facing Fascism: New York and the Spanish Civil War tells the stories of the New Yorkers who came to engage passionately in global politics in this tumultuous era, through photographs, letters,uniforms and weapons, works of art, archival film footage, and more.

Comenzó el XII Festival Internacional de Poesía




Por: Félix Milián Milián
La Habana (AIN).-


El grupo folclórico Kinfuiti, que conserva los tambores y danzas traídas a Cuba por los esclavos negros, actuó en la casa de África, como preámbulo del XII Festival Internacional de Poesía, que se desarrolla por estos días de mayo. Ese grupo, Premio Nacional de la Cultura Comunitaria hace dos años, lo integran miembros de una comunidad en el poblado de Quiebra Hacha, en el municipio habanero de Mariel, y que mantiene los ritmos heredados de sus antepasados.

El evento está dedicado esta vez a África y el Caribe, desde donde llegan poetas que leerán sus obras en un centenar de ciudades, entre ellas los 19 municipios habaneros.
Para el primero de junio, esta programado el certamen Botella al mar, en Mariel, desde donde destacados creadores literarios echarán al océano mensajes de amistad, solidaridad y paz para todo el mundo. Las actividades finalizarán el día 2 de junio con un desfile de los participantes que partirá desde la Universidad de La Habana, amenizado por los Tambores de Bejucal, ganadores también del Premio nacional de Cultura Comunitaria en el 2006.
