		It is understandable when leading Cuban librarians obediently sing the praises of their island’s owner; it is reprehensible when American librarians, living in freedom, do the same thing.
		Karen Schneider is one of the most well-know writers, innovators, and outspoken members of the library community, and during the contentious internal ALA debate over Cuba in 2003-4 her independent thinking got her branded as a heretic for calling on her fellow Council members to come to the aid of the independent libraries of Cuba.

	The famous "Great and Free Healthcare" that regular Cubans receive - CubaMania Cuba Forums

		Many Cubans have told me that this has led to reductions in the skill levels of the 'doctors' that are assigned to their localities, who in many cases are nothing more than nurses or para-medics (it is a lot quicker to train these than full fledged doctors, and Fidel has a gap to fill!)
		A fully trained Cuban doctor is pretty much equivalent to one from anywhere else in the world, my concern is what level of attention are the Cubans themselves being left with whilst Fidel pawns the family jewels.

	Race & Identity in Cuba
		The very term Spanish Cuban tends to hide the fact that Spaniards themselves have a strong African heritage, the result of being next to North Africa and receiving African culture over the millenia, including the 8 centuries the Moors occupied southern Spain, from 710 AD to 1492 AD.
		According to Cuban researchers working over the past 20 years, Native Cubans survived in far greater numbers to a much later date than was commonly accepted: part of the continent wide myth of the "vanishing red man".
		A Jamaican Cuban member of the West Indian Welfare Society in the city of Guantanamo, Cuba, and the director of the Caribbean American Childrens' Foundation in Florida, Alberto Jones is actively making presentations at conferences and in the press on issues of race and identity.
