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.

Wilkinson
Wilkinson talks about the US policy towards Cuba under the new Democratic regime. If the aim of the US is to engender political change in Cuba, it is clear that the policy of trying to starve the country of foreign investment and trade has not worked. Instead of facilitating the advance and growth of private enterprise on the Island, the policies of Donald Trump have had the opposite effect. It is simply high time the US helped Cuba reform economically.

Despite his success or perhaps because of it, the renowned Cuban musician pérez prado was the target of criticism from some of his contemporaries. For some jazz musicians prado’s compositions lacked substance, were commercial even bordering on corny. Yet he also composed "concerts" which hardly had commercial success as an object. If his mambos are judged as lacking in quality, how to explain the interest classical musicians expressed in them? These questions led me to consider an idea advanced in popular music circles as to whether there was not one but several “pérez prados”, i.e. one that composed mambos; another dedicated to marketing light commercial tunes; yet a third focused on "serious" concert music. An analysis of three central elements in all of his work do not reveal several "pérez prados”. Rather it demonstrates that prado was a single composer with different facets arising from diverse circumstances and artistic and economic needs, but based on the same musical foundations. prado was a maestro whose variations never abandoned the main themes: rhythm, drums and dancing.

Throughout history, individual and mass migrations have taken place. Diasporas emerged from these migrations as people of same ethnic group settle in the host country. Entering the 21st century, it is evident that there are many diasporas throughout the world and there has been a development in this field in the literature. Gabriel Sheffer’s book “Diaspora Politics: At Home Abroad” which was first published in 2003, is one of the important books that deals with the concept of diaspora. The book consists of 10 chapters. These chapters are, in order, A Collective of Contemporary and and and and Regional

The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Pragmatics is the first book that provides a thorough review of a pragmatic approach to Translation and Interpreting Studies. This volume links together different disciplinary tradi tions and perspectives introducing the main theoretical issues and important concepts, showing applications of pragmatics in translation and interpreting and suggesting future developments in pragmatics - driven translation research. The handbook offers theoretical statements and methodological suggestions representing a reference work on pragmatics and translation that will be ben eficial for students, novice and experts scholars in translation and interpret -ing, as well as in related fields of linguistics, communication and intercultural studies.

In April the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) reported that the Cuban economy was expected to shrink by 3.7 percent in 2020 (which, if reflected on as a comment on the robustness of the Cuban economy to such an external shock, should be considered against the expected 5.3 percent average contraction of the Latin America and the Caribbean region as a whole that the Island is part of). [...]contrary to those who blame every problem Cuba ever faces on 'errors by the government', the data do not support that the serious contraction that Cuba is facing from COVID-19 is the result of, or even has been primarily exacerbated by, the country's economic policies. [...]beyond that, and once again independent of one's views about the desirability of tourism as a human economic activity (which this author has great concerns with, though more with its nature than with its amount), the data do not support that the development of the tourism industry in Cuba over the last quarter century has left its economy 'overdependent' on tourism by any meaningful comparative economic measure. Worldwide, a rounded approximate number for tourism's total contribution to world economic activity (or more correctly, the part of that which standard national accounting keeps track of as GDP) and of world employment is 10 percent of each.

González, Fernández
This paper identifies the innovation capabilities in the biotechnology sector of bioCubaFarma. Seven types of capacities are assumed for a better understanding of innovation capacities: learning capacity, R+d+i, resource allocation, organisation, production, marketing and strategic planning. The study shows the essential elements of the most critical capabilities and draws conclusions about the most important aspects of the process of conversion to biotechnology for companies in Cuba.
