Unlocking the Official Story: Comparing the Cuban Revolution's Approach to Race and Gender

handle is hein.journals/jilfa5 and id is 413 raw text is: UNLOCKING THE OFFICIAL STORY: COMPARING THE CUBAN REVOLUTION'S APPROACH TO RACE AND GENDER Mark Sawyer* Race often trumps gender at both the level of international law and politics, and within nations. At the same time, the nexus between race and gender and the complex motives of states and international actors are not explained by that simple pronouncement. The purpose of this paper is to explore the similarities and differences between how race and gender are treated by the state in post-revolutionary Cuba. In the case of Cuba, it becomes clear that the connection between race and gender is both powerful and dynamic. Mark Q. Sawyer is an Assistant Professor of Political Science in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles. Professor Sawyer has a joint appointment with the Center for African American Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is currently co-Chair of the UCLA Cultural Studies in the African Diaspora Project. Professor Sawyer has conducted extensive research on the topic of race relations in Cuba. His manuscript Black and Red: Racial Politics in Post-Revolutionary Cuba is currently under review. 403
