Cuba: the future of the Revolution

Abstract

The perception of time sets traps, generation after generation. For the professor who lived in his youth in the 50s and 60s, the figures of Alberto Lleras, General Eisenhower and Mao Zse Dong are alive and vivid in his memory. They are not a distant past, they are part of a compact vital whole. For your students, if they have news of such characters, they are moth-eaten figures from history texts (if they have read any, in this Colombia without memory). The reflection is relevant, because when thinking about Cuba's destiny, one cannot ignore the fact that it is in a deep and decisive generational transition.
