Cuban Review emerged from the need for honest and balanced information on Cuba, a country whose originality has attracted the attention of the entire world. Nowadays the need for a fair coverage of Cuba is even more urgent. Global Reflexion and the editorial board of Cuban Review have therefore decided to make some adjustments in our work. Above all our purpose will be the reflection on Cuban affairs, with an emphasis on opinion-journalism. Additionally this seventh-anniversary edition will mark a change in the presentation, frequency and number of languages in which our publication is issued. Thus Cuban Review will appear in a bimonthly, bilingual form (spanish/english) with a larger format and 20 pages. The cost of a one-year subscription (6 numbers), including mail delivery, is 25.00 euros for subscribers in Europe and 28.00 euros for subscribers outside of Europe. IF YOU WANT TO RECEIVE A FREE COPY, PLEASE REPLY THIS MESSAGE WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS! Furthermore we are ready to deliver a digital information service with frequent updated information on Cuba and send it to you via e-mail. What is offered is a varied, agile and objective service based on information and in-depth articles from the Cuban scene itself produced by our editorial staff based in Havana, and other sources in Cuba. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO RECEIVE THE CUBAN REVIEW UPDATE, PLEASE REPLY THIS MESSAGE WITH UNSUBSCRIBE. In order to be aware of our work, we invite you to take a look at our website: http://www.cubanreview.org If you want to support our work, please forward this message to your friends. Olga E. Fernandez (editor-in-chief, Cuban Review) Nico Varkevisser (president, Global Reflexion) ********************************************************* Cuban Review Update Number 1, July 5 2002. Cuba-United States Relations A contribution to sanity? By Olga E. Fernández Occurring as it did within a setting of erratic moves pointing toward a still tougher stance in Washington's official policy toward the Island, the Castro-Carter meeting also constitutes a mature and dignified contribution to peace and understanding within the craggy territory of global international relations. A retrospective analysis of the complex bilateral contradictions points up the audacious and constructive will of the two statesmen. History records a number of positive political actions taken by Havana and Washington during the Democratic administration of Jimmy Carter (the sixth consecutive U.S. president to coexist with the revolutionary period in Cuba), in brief periods of relaxation of tensions, that alternated with pressures and maneuvers of the Pentagon and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, most eloquently illustrated by the significant number of covert actions carried out against the Island during the Carter period of 1977-1981. As the present director of a foundation devoted to research and philanthropy, based in Atlanta, Georgia, Jimmy Carter enjoys the public recognition accorded to former presidents in the United States. His activity, however, has lacked any official authority since January 1981, when he was succeeded in the presidency by the ultra-right Republican, Ronald Reagan, a key figure in an apogee of conservatism in U.S. society, with pernicious repercussions in both the domestic and the international sphere that have lasted up to our own days. Carter's stay in Havana bore the stamp of the unusual, beginning with the welcoming protocol, in which the national anthems and flags of Cuba and the United States presided over a public ceremony on Cuban territory for the first time in almost half a century, and the treatment of president accorded the visitor by Castro. Lavish in mutual praise and permeated with daring political reflections on the history and current situation of their countries' mutual relations, the speeches of the host and the visitor coincided in some respects such as their condemnation of the blockade against Cuba and the restrictions on travel to Cuba by U.S. citizens. But, as was to be expected, implicit or explicit differences in approach and political and ideological positions were also evident in such subjects as democracy and the Island's single-party system. Not so much as a ripple occurred, however, in the high-level and constructive climate that prevailed throughout the visit, accompanied by a massive press coverage and international scrutiny, that included the sleepless following of the rendezvous in Havana by the U. S. president, George W. Bush, and his closest advisors, according to journalists who cover political activities in Washington. In the Cuban capital, the former U.S. president was granted unprecedented access to the most diverse spheres, including previously announced meetings, without any type of official interference, with representatives of the diminutive opposition groups, which are illegal but tolerated on the Island and which displayed their inveterate discrepancies, unable to overcome them even on the occasion of the highly publicized visit of Jimmy Carter. On his return to Washington, Carter offered his impressions of his trip to Bush, the highly prejudiced current occupant of the White House, who, by coincidence, was immersed in attending to his political commitments with the Cuban community in Miami and in guaranteeing the aspirations of his brother, Jeb Bush, to reelection as governor of Florida, precisely the state that houses the leading enclave of the influential ultra-right Cuban-Americans. It now remains to be seen in what measure the honorable attitude of President Fidel Castro and the firm call by Jimmy Carter to the United States to take "the first step" can work in favor of bilateral understanding, amidst a renewed debate in the U.S. Congress regarding initiatives against the blockade and the prohibition of visits to the Island, threatened in advance by a presidential veto. *** Cuban Review is a 20 pages bimonthly and bilingual (english/spanish) publication.

It couldn't be easier... Rights for the children by IGNACIO RAMONET Translated by Ed Emery <http://MondeDiplo.com/2002/07/01edito> COLONIAL ATTITUDES IN ISRAEL Camp David's thwarted peace * by ALAIN GRESH President Bush has urged the Palestinians to replace Yasser Arafat as a condition of US support for their statehood. This call underscores the failure of the Oslo accords. As Israel tightens its hold on the West Bank and Gaza, peace has never seemed more distant. Yet two years ago Israelis and Palestinians seemed close to agreement: the Camp David summit in July 2000 could have been considered as one further step in the long negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians. Instead it was dismissed as a total failure, with Arafat responsible for that failure. Translated by Harry Forster US BALANCES ASIAN NUCLEAR RIVALS India's unethical foreign policy * by KURT JACOBSEN and SAYEED HASAN KHAN The Bush administration sent senior officials to India and Pakistan recently to reduce tensions between the nuclear rivals. Pakistan's government announced that it would end commando operations by Kashmiri militants and India seemed to move towards military de-escalation. But how can the United States accede to India's demands for a strategic relationship while keeping Pakistan as an ally? Original text in English THREATS TO DISARMAMENT AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY The new world disorder * by PIERRE CONESA and OLIVIER LEPICK United States threats to withdraw from peacekeeping in Bosnia if denied exemption from prosecution in the new International Criminal Court shows how far international security has been dismantled. The US now realises what it means to be a superpower and its strategists are formulating a doctrine to match, undermining all the agreements that governed world security and underpinned disarmament in the 1990s. Translated by Malcolm Greenwood Treaties and agreements: a check list * Translated by Malcolm Greenwood US FORCES RESIGNATIONS AT AGENCIES A chemical coup * by ANY BOURRIER Translated by Luke Sandford The Chemical Weapons Convention * Translated by Luke Sandford IMMIGRANT VOICES IN EUROPEAN POLITICS France's estate of fear * by RABAH AIT-HAMADOUCHE During the presidential election in France, politicians pushing law and order picked on people from poor housing estates as troublemakers, prompting protest votes and abstentions. But Le Pen's brief success galvanised immigrant voters and began their new drive for political representation. Translated by Harry Forster FORTY YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE, VIOLENCE AND IMPOVERISHMENT US and Algeria: just flirting by WILLIAM B QUANDT Original text in English <http://MondeDiplo.com/2002/07/08algeria> Algeria's wasted achievements * by MOHAMMED HARBI Algeria has been independent for 40 years this month, but wracked by a civil war: 700 Algerians have been killed this year by Islamists or the army. A privileged elite has abused what was gained in the revolution and spent Algeria's wealth. The violence continues the griefs of French colonisation, the war of independence and the seizure of power by military leaders. Translated by Julie Stoker Slow Thursday in Annaba * by KRIM MOKHTAR Translated by Luke Sandford 50 YEARS SINCE THE JULY REVOLUTION Egypt's squandered hopes * by KAMEL LABIDI The Middle East and the Maghreb no longer resound to the speeches of Nasser as they did when Cairo fascinated the Arab world, promising unity and revolution. A half-century after the Free Officers seized power in July 1952, there is bitter debate over Nasser's legacy in an Egypt made nostalgic by decline and despair. Translated by Luke Sandford The night Nasser nationalised the Suez canal * by SIMONE and JEAN LACOUTURE Translated by Luke Sandford >From Nasser to Mubarak * Translated by Luke Sandford THE FUTURE OF A MARGINALISED CONTINENT Can Africa really unify? * by MWAYILA TSHIYEMBE The Organisation of African Unity finally established the African Union in 2001, and, although there had been vociferous demands for union ever since the OAU was founded in 1963, there was in fact complete indifference to the actual setting up of the union. This month the union will hold its own first summit, in South Africa. Will it prove to be the answer to globalisation, as its advocates once hoped? Translated by Barbara Wilson The African Union * by MWAYILA TSHIYEMBE Translated by Barbara Wilson Universities challenged by AGHALI ABDELKADER* Translated by Malcolm Greenwood <http://MondeDiplo.com/2002/07/15universities> Nigeria: music of the North and South * by JEAN-CHRISTOPHE SERVANT Translated by Ed Emery HEALTH FOR ALL OR RICHES FOR SOME WHO's responsible? by JEAN-LOUP MOTCHANE Can we still rely on the World Health Organisation? It has not openly opposed the greed of the major global pharmaceutical companies and its director-general, Gro Harlem Brundtland, has deferred to them.

TransUrbanism is urbanism plus globalization. The city is no longer a clearly localizable spatial unit, but has transformed into an “urban field,” a collection of activities instead of a material structure. Cities today are in a state of continuous decomposition, but are also continually reorganizing and rearranging themselves, expanding and shrinking. TransUrbanism is a design strategy that allows cities to organize themselves as complex systems, where small local structures incorporate global flows. The book features essays, interviews and projects from: Arjen Mulder: TransUrbanism Andreas Ruby: Transgressing Urbanism Arjun Appadurai: The Right to Participate in the Work of the Imagination Scott Lash: Informational Totemism Lars Spuybroek: The Structure of Vagueness Edward Soja: Restructuring the Industrial Capitalist City Mark Wigley: Resisting the City Roemer van Toorn: Against the Hijacking of the Multitude Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Alien Relationships with Public Space Lars Spuybroek meets Rem Koolhaas: Africa Comes First Knowbotic Research: Codes Bad Guys Space Brett Steele: Transitory Image Spaces: Urbanism 2.0 TransUrbanism is: Illustrated full color, Paperback, 240 pages, 16x23 cm, Text in English ISBN: 90-5662-236-6 Price: * 22,50 Editorial Team: Joke Brouwer, Arjen Mulder (editors-in-chief), Laura Martz Design: Joke Brouwer Published by: V2_Publishing/NAI Publishers This book is made possible by the Netherlands Architecture Fund (Stimuleringsfonds voor Architectuur), Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

This is a call for participation for a collective digital gallery called "Octopus Dei". A little background: on October 6 2002, the pope will proceed with the canonization of Josemaria Escriva, the founder of the Opus Dei. If you don’t know about God's mafia, and the sound of it brings a nice James Bond feeling deep inside, it is time you let your imagination go wild on that google text field. ############## # What? How? # ############## Well basically, I bought the "octopusdei.org" domain, and I will dedicate full hosting resources (httpd, servlets, rdbms, etc) to people willing to design interactive, dynamic, visual and / or textual pieces expressing whatever that Opus Dei (or Opus Dei-like) phenomenon inspires them. I don't think they deserve very clever prose (nor anything rational). So maybe we should stick to cynic textual aggressions, graphic graphics (ha!), and fucked animations. The only thing I know is that it definitively needs a nice evil-looking octopus logotype; that and everything else will be determined collaboratively. The communication channel will be specified to those who reply to this (either privately or publicly). I won't discourse on why you should bother participating, besides saying that it's a nice little chance to definitively turn the page on that (oh so aggravating) religion-induced neurosis as well as having your work (hopefully) nicely contextualized. ;-) vincent ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2002 12:51:46 +0530 From: Monica Narula <monica@sarai.net> Subject: CyberMohall By Lanes Dear all, Sarai announces the release of the book 'Galiyon Se / by lanes'. A culmination of an year-long interaction and conversations between twelve young people from the LNJP basti, Delhi (basti: a non-legal settlement, almost perpetually under the threat of dislocation), this book is to share with others the narrations, reflections, commentaries, word play and observations they have been engaging with. The writings in the book are a glimpse into the personal/public diaries in which they write about the everyday living in the city. LNJP basti, a working class settlement, is located in central Delhi. The book is about the basti - the lanes, elections, perceptions, celebrations, accidents, dislocation, evictions, work situations, technology, life stories. It includes interviews, stories, write-ups, photographs and animation. The bilingual (Hindi/English) book is the first from Cybermohalla, an experimental collaborative initiative for the creation of nodes of popular digital culture in Delhi between Ankur, a Delhi based NGO and Sarai. It has been translated, edited and designed at Sarai. _____________________________________ Galiyon Se / by lanes http://www.sarai.net/community/cybermohalla/book01/bylanes.htm (available online) Produced and Designed at Sarai Media Lab and Public Interface Zone, Sarai, Delhi Text, Photographs & Animation at Compughar by Yashoda Singh, Suraj Rai, Shamsher Ali, Shahjehan, Shahana Qureshi, Nilofer, Naseembano, Mehrunnisa, Bobby Khan, Babli Rai, Azra Tabassum, Ayesha Editing and Translations: Shveta Design: Mrityunjoy Chatterjee Editorial Adivisors: Jeebesh Bagchi (Sarai), Prabhat K.
