A handful of celebrated photographs show armed female Cuban insurgents alongside their companeros in Cuba's remote mountains during the revolutionary struggle. However, the story of women's part in the struggle's success has only now received comprehensive consideration in Michelle Chase's history of women and gender politics in revolutionary Cuba. Restoring to history women's participation in the all-important urban insurrection, and resisting Fidel Castro's triumphant claim that women's emancipation was handed to them as a "revolution within the revolution," Chase's work demonstrates that women's activism and leadership was critical at every stage of the revolutionary process. Tracing changes in political attitudes alongside evolving gender ideologies in the years leading up to the revolution, Chase describes how insurrectionists mobilized familiar gendered notions, such as masculine honor and maternal sacrifice, in ways that strengthened the coalition against Fulgencio Batista. But, after 1959, the mobilization of women and the societal transformations that brought more women and young people into the political process opened the revolutionary platform to increasingly urgent demands for women's rights. In many cases, Chase shows, the revolutionary government was simply formalizing popular initiatives already in motion on the ground thanks to women with a more radical vision of their rights.

Download and read online ebook A World in Revolution write by Herbert Lionel Matthews. This book was released on 1972. A World in Revolution available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "To many thousands of readers in the United States and abroad, Herbert L. Matthews is known as an outstanding correspondent who covered the news, and made news as well. 'A World in Revolution' is the first-hand story of Mr. Matthews' extraordinary and controversial career and also an analysis of the current world situation. With 'The New York Times' from 1922 to 1967, the author served as reporter, correspondent, bureau chief, editorial writer and member of the editorial board. He covered events ranging from Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia to the Spanish Civil War to Fidel Castro's Cuban revolution. He held posts in Paris, Rome, London, India, and other key world centers. For the first time, Mr. Matthews tells the whole story of his involvement with Fidel Castro and his subsequent conflict with the Government and the Press when Castro appeared to contradict Matthews' claims that Castro was not at first a communist. In 1957, when the world believed Castro to be dead and his movement destroyed, the author found and interviewed him in the Sierra Maestra. Interviews and subsequent articles and editorials by Mr. Matthews published in the 'Times' helped shape American policy toward Cuba. Mr. Matthews describes how error was piled on error as the nation sought a scapegoat for the 'selling out' of that island. Also controversial was the author's coverage of the Spanish Civil War, which was for him, as it was for writers such as Hemingway, Orwell and others, a turning point in understanding the gathering battle between the powers of freedom and totalitarianism. In a thrilling chapter Mr. Matthews describes the perils of covering that war and the difficulties of getting the truth into print. 'A World in Revolution is also a book about the nation's most controversial newspaper, 'The New York Times'--its virtues and flaws, its people and politics. Calling upon his more than half-century of experience Mr. Matthews sums up his views on the revolutionary course the world is taking, particularly in Latin America, an area which has long been of special interest to him. For anyone concerned about America's place in world affairs or interested in how the news is made and reported, this book will be of enduring value."--Font and back flaps of book jacket.
