Fidel Castro addressing the United Nations assembly on his Cuban Literacy Campaign;
A scene from the award-winning
MAESTRA (TEACHER), which
explores the experiences of Cuban women whose participation in the campaign helped to eradicate illiteracy within one year.
The recent passing of Fidel Castro has caused the world to reflect on a controversial figure who was seen as a revolutionary by some, and reviled by others. While contemplating the impact of Castro's legacy, be sure to take a look at our collection of titles featuring Cuba - they are a vital classroom resource for teaching about the history and culture of the island, and highlight the identity, fortitude, and activism of its people. Essential viewing for Latin American, Human Rights, International Relations, and American Studies.
