The Embassy
Exactly, I do not remember the year, of course, but I know what happened. When I was a teenager, I was an admirer of the Cuban Olympic athletes such as Mireya Luis (who was a volleyball player spectacular), Magaly Carvajal, and Alberto Juantorena. And that's not all. My room was transformed into a "museum for Cuban sport." On the wall there were lots of pictures the idols of Cuba - from Mireya Luis Hernandez, Roberto Urrutia (an athlete who has fled his country). There were enough books in my library. It was a rather strange.
Life is full of surprises. In those years, however, I learned more about Cuba that I never learned a university, the discovery of a world that was so different from mine.
Admittedly, my favorite day was when I went to the Cuban Embassy in Lima, and diplomats gave me some magazines and newspapers in Havana - Cuba Internacional Granma, Bohemia, etc. Obviously, I was really happy because I could read my idols. Meanwhile, I did not know anything about politics.
My parents I have not given permission to go to the Cuban embassy (but I went to the embassy anyway). It is not surprising. Why? In the second half of the 20th century, Cuba had links with full anti-democratic groups in Latin America, Africa and Asia. In Apart from that, since 1959, Cuba was run by two brothers - Fidel and Raul Castro Ruz. Under the leadership of Fidel Castro, the island is one of world's most brutal dictatorships. On the other hand, in the years 1970 and 1980, the Cuban regime has sent thousands of books and journals for the Third World and other nations.
The "honeymoon" with the island --- --- ended in the 1990s. This decade was a time when people in the Third World Eastern Europe and demanded civil rights, as in 1991 when the USSR broke up in 15 new independent states.
All Athletes dictator
Cuba is famous for its traditional music and beautiful scenery, but Cuba is also famous for its great champions Olympics. At the Montreal Olympics in 1976, the Cuban team - which was strongly supported by the Soviet government - won 13 medals, five percent of all gold produced by the communist nations. For the first time the island had six Olympic champions. One of them was Alberto Juantorena, better known as the "horse", who had been trained by a coach Polish - about 80 percent of Cuba were the coaches German Democratic Republic (GDR), the USSR other former communist states.
Before the trip Juantorena Canada, he participated in several international tournaments in the Soviet world and other nations. 1975 Pan American Games in Mexico City, he won a silver medal. A few months later, Alberto Juantorena in history has won two gold medals in Montreal'76. With curiosity Juantorena main rival, Mike Boit, a world-class runner from Kenya, could not compete because Africa has boycotted the Olympics in Canada. In the mid 70 sports magazines were calling him "one of the best riders in the world" because of its international medals.
Of Slavery to Freedom
But not all stories of Cuba have been happy. For many reasons, the island is Olympic no paradise. The facts speak for themselves. In the second half of the 20th century, many athletes have been used as a propaganda tool policy by the Cuban dictatorship. Apart from that, between 1992 and 2008, many athletes who married foreigners the nationality of their husbands, for example Magdeline Martinez (athletics / Italy), Lillian Allen (athletics / Mexico), Magaly Carvajal (volleyball / Spain), Libania Grenot Martinez (Athletic / Italy). At the same time, many athletes have defected in Europe and the Americas.
In 1993, I was really surprised when I read that thirty-nine athletes defected - one of the biggest problems on the island - during the Central American Caribbean Games and Puerto Rico. In recent years, there have been many defections - more than North Korea or Iran.

The GDR Remembered $75 Twenty years after German unification, the consequences of the country's divided past continue to be debated. The legacy of the German Democratic Republic occupies a major role in popular culture and politics, while many former citizens of the GDR are still trying to work through their experience of the regime and adjust to unification. Competing representations of the East German state have emerged, some underlining its repressive nature, others lamenting the loss of a sense of community. This volume of new essays reflects upon the ways in which the GDR has been remembered in film and literature, museums and memorials, and historiography and politics. |

Power and Society in the GDR, 1961-1979 $95 The Berlin Wall, for many people, epitomizes the communist German Democratic Republic, founded in 1949 in the Soviet-occupied zone of post-war Germany; other central features of life in the GDR appear to be under the threat of repression by Soviet tanks and surveillance by the secret security police, the Stasi . But is repression and surveillance really all there is to the GDR's history? How did people come to terms with their situation and make new lives behind the Wall? When the social history of the GDR in the 1960s and 1970s is explored, new patterns become evident. In a period characterised by consumer socialism, international recognition and dtente, a fragile stability emerged. Increased participation in the micro-structures of power, and conformity to the unwritten rules of an increasingly predictable system, suggest accommodation to dominant norms and conceptions. Contributors explore the ways in which lower-level functionaries and people at the grass roots contributed to the formation and transformation of the GDR from industry and agriculture, through popular sport and cultural life, to the passage of generations and varieties of social experience. The volume thus presents a more complex approach to the history of East Germany during its previously under-researched middle decades and sheds new light on the phenomenon of nostalgic memories since unification. And through the framework of the theoretical concept of normalisation', the book situates the history of the GDR within the wider context of post-war western and eastern European history. |

Role of the Masses in the Collapse of the GDR $130 This book examines the role of the masses in the collapse of the East German regime and state in 1989 in the northern district of Schwerin. It shows the extent to which citizens of the GDR dictatorship were instrumental in their state's demise. The 'bottom-up' approach employed, in contrast to the study of power wielding elites and 'opposition', explores the shift in mood and behaviour of citizens which brought about the internal collapse of the state. |

The Gdr Remembered (Mixed media product) $148.29 Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the consequences of the country`s divided past continue to be debated. The legacy of the German Democratic Republic occupies a major role in German popular culture, with audiences flocking to films claiming to depict the East German state "as it was." Politicians from both left and right make use of its legacy to support their parties` approach to unification, while former citizens of the GDR are still working through their own memories of the regime and adjusting to unification. Since 1989, competing representations of the East German state have emerged, some underlining its repressive nature, others lamenting the loss of a sense of community. The twentieth anniversary of the Wende is an occasion to reflect upon both the history of the GDR and the ways in which it has been remembered, and the present volume presents new research on the theme from a variety of perspectives, with sections on film and literature, museums and memorials, and historiography and politics. Contributors: Thomas Ahbe, Pertti Ahonen, Silke Arnold-de Simine, Stefan Berger, Laura Bradley, Mary Fulbrook, Nick Hodgin, Anna O`Driscoll, Stuart Parkes, Caroline Pearce, G nter Schlusche, Peter Thompson, Andreas Wagner. Nick Hodgin is a cultural historian working at the University of Sheffield, UK, and Caroline Pearce is Lecturer in German and Interpreting, also at the University of Sheffield. |
