This text presents findings from a contemporary archaeology project that has been exploring the October Crisis (1962) and its material and immaterial remains in Cuba since 2005. The project is a cooperation between Swedish archaeologists and Cuban archaeologists, anthropologists and historians, and its primary aim is to complement the dominant narrative of the crisis with material and immaterial remains and memories in a way that approaches and explains the event “from below”. The current text focuses on the US Marston mats that can be found at a number of locations in farmsteads and villages surrounding the former missile sites in the Los Palacios and San Cristóbal areas, as well as on a photo of a Russian girl that was a gift from a Russian soldier to a Cuban peasant during the crisis. These objects present the reader with new material and human insights concerning the crisis that until now have been more or less concealed and unknown, contributing new complementary dimensions to the understanding of the October Crisis while also challenging the stereotypes constructing the dominant narrative.

Both the UK and Cuba face an ageing population, which presents major challenges for their health and social care sectors. Although the UK is considerably more developed than Cuba, its disorganised and inadequate community services for older people, combined with a less preventative approach to the health of its older population have increased pressure on care homes and hospitals alike. In contrast, Cuba’s cheaper, preventative and holistic elderly care programme integrates health and social care to sufficiently serve its older population. This article demonstrates the flaws in the UK elderly care system and highlights the successes of the Cuban system, before formulating three suggested areas of research for potential implementation in the UK based on Cuban principles. These are: 1) associating care homes with medical professionals, 2) overhauling the NHS health check system and 3) providing each local authority with a wider variety of facilities for the older person. Modelling Cuba’s elderly care system with these suggestions may improve the management of an ageing population in the UK by increasing disease prevention and care planning. This should improve the overall health of the UK’s older population whilst saving the health service both money and time.

This article offers a contribution to the analysis of possible electoral reforms in Cuba today, considering the necessary systemic approach to updating the integral model of socialist development, which going beyond the economic sphere, strengthens the broadest popular participation and national political consensus by further democratization of the political system. This objective is materialized through a critical assessment of the reform process that has taken place in the Cuban electoral system and the prospects for change. It is specified that this process is not isolated, but is part of the approach (mentioned above) of the model and must permanently accompany the economic, cultural, social, political and ideological transformations in a way to guarantee the integrality of the processes of revolutionary transformation of Cuban society. The article makes a proposal for possible new electoral reforms in the country, linking it, from the same critical point of view, to the precepts of the Constitution approved by a referendum in February 2019 -which did not offer any innovations in terms of direct elections- and with the key premise of political development defined by this author: the necessary increasingly broad, active, direct, systematic, creative, real, effective, deliberative and binding popular participation of the population in making the most important decisions of the country.

Urban Expansion of Havana: El Cerro 1925–1960 As part of the valuable urban history of Havana in the 20th century, the territory of El Cerro treasures a mixed urban fabric, with developments and layouts from different historical periods. With the advance of the century, it progressively extended its paths beyond its historic nucleus, with urbanisations of diverse character that welcomed from proletarian groups to small merchants and a thriving middle class of professionals. However, these areas have not been sufficiently studied, so their values are unknown and increase their vulnerability to inappropriate actions that endanger their identity. The research set out to document this urban development experienced between 1925 and 1960 from the analysis of archival documentary sources supplemented with fieldwork. The results show a wide and diverse universe of urban networks that left an important mark on the expansion and consolidation of the city, as part of Cuban cultural history.

Since 1959, Cuban emigration seems to have been the subject of two consensuses. First, the Cuban Revolution would have resulted in a significant migratory movement towards the United States. Second, that this would reflect the rejection of the process of social transformation structured around a one-party political system put in place by Fidel Castro. The migration statistics of the US authorities, available for the period from 1860 to 2019, will shed light on this question by comparing the various flows from Cuba at different times (1860–1959, 1960–89, 1990–2019). Likewise, a comparative analysis of migratory flows emitted by the countries of the region will assess the relevance of these two hypotheses.
