11J, Exoduses, Embargo, and Martí in Cuba (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798390380277)

On Sunday, July 11, 2021, the people of Cuba launched the largest civic protest since 1959. In more than 72 locations throughout the country. The historical event happened spontaneously, without centralized leadership or coordination by organized opposition or dissident groups or movements. Almost all the participants were young people born in captivity who emerged in public spaces across the entire island to demand freedom and the end of Castro-Communism.
The reaction of the Castro regime was predictable. A brutal exercise of state terrorism, indiscriminate arrests and then arbitrary and criminal prison sentences was one of the moves of the dictatorial officialdom.

Another was the exploitation of the rebellious spirit of the Cuban people to infiltrate groups of the civilian population with operatives at the service of Castro's intelligence and counterintelligence and, in a national protest scheduled for November 15 of the same year, to disarticulate the popular impetus with the departure from the country of Yunior Garcia, one of the main promoters of the event.

The weapon of immigration and exodus always served Cuban communism. In that same month of November 2021, Castro-Communism announced that Cubans who could afford to pay for the ticket could leave the country through Nicaragua, another dictatorial regime under Havana's tutelage. The Mexican government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador agreed to give Cubans in transit to the southern border of the United States, a tacit protection. The proven idea of pressuring the "enemy" to the north (USA) using an exodus to its territory, would give it a place at the table to take up an imperative need of the Cuban dictatorship, which is an unconditional rapprochement with the United States and access to its subsidies, credits, and preferential commercial treatment.

Since 1959, the Cuban Marxist-Leninist dictatorship has demonstrated a dependence on the departure of Cubans abroad, particularly to the United States.

The exits through embassies, in rafts and flimsy boats, the Freedom Flights, Operation Peter Pan, the Camarioca Flotilla, the escapes through international tours, the irregular escapes, the Mariel Flotilla, the exodus of the rafters, the exoduses through the crossing of the American continent to reach the southern border of the United States, including the post-9/11 exodus, are some of the episodes that Cubans have written in their attempt to reach the land of freedom fleeing Cuban communism.

The sanctions and the embargo against the Castro regime by the United States are points of analysis and reflection in this book. It must always be clear that the goal of this campaign is to deprive a dictatorship of resources to frustrate its need to repress the people, a fundamental strategy to remain in power. There are arguments for and against the U.S. embargo against Castroism. A clear position in favor of denying the tyranny that denies Cubans their natural rights the funds to continue oppressing and extending suffering to the majority, at the expense of an oligarchic and blood-stained minority, will appear in this book.

This collection of writings ends with essays and articles on Cuba's most distinguished figure, José Martí. The literary journey of this book began with the heroic Cuban uprising of 11J. Martí, guide and beacon of Cuba, is the ideal place to close this work. His praxis is the seminal recipe for the re-foundation of the Cuban nation. The liberation of Cuba,
