Emprendedores and Luchadores
During the economic crisis of the 1990s in Cuba, self-employment was gradually and begrudgingly decriminalized, referred to by state leaders as 'a necessary evil' in a 'Socialist island adrift in the sea of Capitalism.' However, it continued to be stigmatized as antisocial and morally suspect, diverting labor and innovation away from the Revolution, a state-led social project for the benefit of all, toward individual wealth accumulation.

Fear, gratitude, and the normalization of obstetric violence in Cuban maternity hospitals

Coleras were framed as immoral subje…
