“Visions of Power in CUBA: Revolution, Redemption, and Resistance, 1959-1971”
Monday, October 28, 3:00 p.m., Latin American Collection Reference Room, 4th floor Smathers Library (East)
In the tumultuous first decade of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro and other leaders saturated the media with altruistic images of themselves in a campaign to win the hearts of Cuba’s six million citizens. In Visions of Power in Cuba, Lillian Guerra argues that these visual representations explained rapidly occurring events and encouraged radical change and mutual self-sacrifice.
