This article treats the links between the 1890s literature of urban reform in the United States, which focused on the downtown "other half" of New York, and the war literature of 1898, when American troops intervened in Cuba's war of independence. The article focuses on the work of Stephen Crane, who worked as a New York police reporter, slum novelist, and Cuba war correspondent in this turbulent decade. Leary shows how, in the martial culture of the American 1890s, the rhetoric of militarism informed the practice of urban reform, while the rhetoric of urban reform informed the military campaign in Cuba. This article argues that the United States' urban underdevelopment, represented famously by the Lower East Side of Manhattan, was imaginatively displaced onto Cuba. The War of 1898 was therefore an important landmark in the creation of a Third World imaginary in the United States, when "underdevelopment" would become a distinctly Latin American condition. In the twentieth century, the gap between modernity and underdevelopment would not be found in the sprawling tenement cities, but in "other Americas" to the south, below the Mason-Dixon line and in Cuba. After 1898, Cuba, once so close to the United States as to be nearly a state in the union, now belonged to another time—indeed, almost another world.

Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 1994. ix + 301 pp. (Cloth US$ 49.94, Paper US$ 19.95)Cuba is clearly at yet another major turning point, and the four books under review here testify, each in its way, to this. Two are single-authored monographs (one on sport, the other on the informal economy) one is a single-authored collection of essays on history and historiography; and one is a multidisciplinary anthology of essays by various authors. In approach, they cover a broad political spectrum, and all are concerned with an understanding of process in Cuba, whether prior to or since the 1959 revolution, pre- or post-1989, or during the 1990s.

El fomento de la inmigración española en los siglos XIX y XX aunque, con diferentes características, fue resultado de distintas estrategias políticas elaboradas para lograr su atracción y asentamiento; las cuales estaban basadas en todo un discurso moderno que buscaba establecer los parámetros por los que se regiría la sociedad cubana en esos períodos. Dicha migración fue una apuesta del estado y un ejemplo del biopoder, pues se le atribuyó como sentido lograr un efecto en la sociedad basado en las hipótesis biológicas subyacentes, de ahí que su estudio deba considerarse desde el terreno de la biopolítica. ; The promotion of Spanish immigration in the 19th and 20th centuries, although, with different characteristics, it was the result of the different political strate- gies developed to achieve their attraction and settlement; which were based on a modern discourse that sought to establish the parameters by which Cuban society would be governed in that period. This migration was a bet of the state and an example of biopower, since it was attributed as a meaning to achieve an effect in society based on the underlyning biological hypotheses, hence its study should be considered from the fiel of biopolitics. ; Área de Historia del Arte

For more than 60 years, censorship in Cuba has been fundamental to the permanence of the dictatorship in power. Since the victory of the Cuban Revolution in January 1959, the predecessor political organizations of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), and later the PCC itself, relied on ideological apparatus to control the press. This was later summed up in the PCC's Ideological Department, which still exists. ; For more than 60 years, censorship in Cuba has been fundamental to the permanence of the dictatorship in power.
