  1. Kudos to Carlos Eire. there are fewer than a handful of Cuban American academics that denounce the Castro tyranny. I can only think of Eire and De La Cova right now. The rest, Marifeli Perez-Stable, Lisandro Perez, Jose Arrom, Max Azicri, Lourdes Arguelles, Emilio Bejel, Roman de la Campa, Guillermo Grenier, Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria, Carmelo Mesa Lago, Ruben Rumbaut, Nelson Valdes, Alejandro de la Fuente, Miren Uriarte, Enrique Santi, Ada Ferrer, Lillian Guerra, Silvia Pedraza, Alejandro Portes, Gerald Poyo, Jorge Duany, Samuel Farber, Felix Masud-Piloto, and the entire group of ENCASA activists, have all been anti-embargo activists, Castro “dialogue” participants, or members of the pro-Castro groups Areito and the Antonio Maceo Brigade.

  2. Carlos Eire is great! He has backbone unlike most Cuban academians who are probably too afraid to go against the pro-Castroism prevelant in most American Universities and even become complicitous [in order to gain favor? get tenure? Get published?]. By the way, I thought of another Cuban professor who is not afraid to speak his mind: Gustavo Perez-Firmat.
