New Thinking

This article will argue that general agreement between Cuba and the Soviet Union on their foreign policy toward Latin America is likely over the long run, despite (a) Fidel Castro's condemnation of perestroika and glasnost, and (b) his obvious attempt to embarrass Soviet Secretary-General Mikhail Gorbachev during the latter's state visit to Cuba in April 1989. Serious obstacles — such as differences over Cuban domestic policy and Castro's personal ambitions — remain to be overcome, but foreign policy disagreements between the two countries are likely to prove less intractable than is frequently assumed.This article will start with (1) an overview of Cuban Latin American foreign policy since the 1970s; then proceed to (2) an interpretation of Soviet “new thinking;” and finally (3) argue that this particular interpretation of “new thinking” is consistent with, and not contradictory to, Castro's foreign policy.

Historical Presence

This article considers the formation and representation of Washington, D.C.'s Dominican community in the Anacostia Museum's 1994 -1995 exhibit, Black Mosaic: Community, Race and Ethnicity Among Black Immigrants in D.C. The exhibit successfully pointed to the extensive historical presence of African Diaspora peoples in Latin America and explored the development of subsequent Diaspora from those communities into Washington, D.C. The case of Dominican immigrants to D.C., however, illustrates the continued privileging of a U.S.- or Anglo-centric ideation of African-American history and identity. I argue that a more accurate and politically useful formulation would call for an understanding that the African Diaspora first arrived in what would become Santo Domingo and was constitutive of Latin America several centuries before the arrival of Anglo colonizers and the formation of what would become the United States; that slavery was a polyfacetic institution that articulated with particular colonial and imperial systems and local economies in the Americas in ways that subsequently influenced racial orders and identities in multiple ways, both at home and in Diaspora; and that Dominicans' negotiations of the competing demands of blackness and Latinidad make these points especially salient.

Este artigo estuda a compreensão do Magistério Eclesiástico sobre o laicato na Quinta Conferência Episcopal Latino-americana, realizada na cidade de Aparecida – SP (Brasil), no ano de 2007. Nessa Conferência, os bispos retomaram a reflexão sobre o laicato apresentada nas Conferências de Medellín (1968), Puebla (1979) e Santo Domingo (1992), dentro de um novo contexto eclesial e social. A proposta é apresentar os vários momentos de realização da Conferência de Aparecida, focando o Documento Conclusivo no que diz respeito à temática do laicato. O ponto de partida da reflexão é que o laicato, na concepção do Magistério Eclesiástico latino-americano, teve uma evolução histórica e doutrinal, com desafios e limites e, ao mesmo tempo, com esperança e utopia. Essa interpretação sobre o leigo contribui para entender os impasses e anseios ainda presentes neste novo milênio, que expressa uma Igreja dinâmica e inserida na realidade social e eclesial do momento atual. O entendimento dos bispos latino-americanos sobre o laicato, expresso no Documento Conclusivo de Aparecida, reforça o reconhecimento da importância dos leigos como protagonistas na estrutura interna da Igreja e na relação com a sociedade.Abstract: This article studies the comprehension of the Ecclesiastical Magisterium about the laity in the Fifth Latin American Episcopal Conference held in the city of Aparecida, São Paulo, Brazil, in 2007. In this Conference the bishops resumed the reflexion about the laity presented in the Conferences in Medellín (1968), Puebla (1979) and Santo Domingo (1992), within a new ecclesial and social context. The proposal is to present various moments of the Conference in Aparecida, focusing on the Conclusive Document, with reference to the laity issue. The beginning of the reflexion concerns to the fact that the laity, in the conception of the latin american Ecclesiastical Magisterium, has had a historical and doctrinal development, with challenges and limits but with hope and utopia at the same time. This interpretation about the laity contributes to understand the impasses and expectations present in this new millenium, which expresses a dinamic Church embedded within the social and ecclesial reality of the current moment. The understanding of the latin american bishops about the laity, expressed in the Conclusive Document of Aparecida, reinforces the recognition of the laity importance as the protagonists in the internal structure of the Church and in the relashionship with the society.Keywords: Laity.
