Canadian Anthropology Society Annual Meeting
May 13-16, 2009 University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C.
Session Title: 50 Years of the Cuban Revolution: Political Economy,
Ecology and Culture
Session Organizer: Kendra Coulter, University of Windsor
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution. Cuba is an
important sociocultural site for anthropological scholarship on the
production of political projects, offering significant insights for
understanding transnational anti-imperialist, anti-neoliberal and
socialist politics. This session will examine the accomplishments and
complexities of the Cuban Revolution as a lived, collective process and as
a sustained challenge to the capitalist model. Papers on political
ecology, gender relations, labour, education, health, children/youth and
political economy in Cuba are particularly welcome.
Please email Kendra Coulter directly at kcoulter@uwindsor.ca before
January 27th.
