Meeting the UN's development targets in Cuba: Lessons from the global south

Minority Report: Cuban Gays in the International Media
Revolutionary Cuba has been a fixture in the international media for decades. Topics that made headlines around the globe have included Fidel Castro's death, US–Cuba relations, visits to Havana by the Pope, Cuba's international medical missions, and economic changes under Raúl Castro. One topic, however, which has been crucial to human development in contemporary Cuba, has received comparatively little media attention – sexual diversity (LGBT) ri…
Alternatives–Pitfalls of polarized internationalism: Protest against Cuban medical solidarity
Since 1960, the Cuban government has been providing health care internationalism programmes throughout the globe. Despite the now overwhelming international recognition for Cuba’s medical efforts, protests against Cuban medical personnel working abroad are not uncommon. This article analyzes comparable patterns of protest in Brazil, Bolivia, and Haiti, where the protests have been driven primarily by ideological and class biases, as well as the V…
Alternatives–Dealing with the perfect storm: Cuban disaster management
Cuba’s disaster preparedness has been lauded by various international organizations, including the United Nations, Red Cross, and Oxfam. Hurricane Matthew, a storm that killed more than 1,000 people in Haiti, caused 40 deaths in the United States, but was responsible for no deaths in neighbouring Cuba. This has been a common trend since the 1960s. This paper analyzes Cuban disaster preparedness and offers possible lessons that might be learned

Setting the Agenda for Cuban Sexuality: The Role of Cuba's Cenesex
In recent years an increasing amount of media attention has been focused on Cuba's National Centre for Sexual Education (CENESEX) and in particular the role of its director (and daughter of current president Raúl Castro) Mariela Castro Espin. Indeed, in a country in which machismo and homophobia have been widely condemned, changes in the approach to accepting sexual diversity have been significant in both public and at government levels. This art…
