\u201cSince my first visit to Cuba in 1991, as a tourist, I\u2019ve been impressed by the people, their way of thinking, their dignity and patriotism. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve come back so many times,\u201d said Canadian journalist and professor Arnold August.<\/p>\n
What has changed in the relationship between Cuba and the United States? That is the question August asked himself on this complex and long-standing issue, and the answers \u2013 or rather, first approximations to answers \u2013 that he found are contained in his most recent book, Cuba-US Relations: Obama and Beyond. It was launched on September 22 at the \u201cS\u00e1bado del Libro\u201d (Book Saturday) event, held on Calle de Madera in Old Havana.<\/p>\n
As stated by its presenter, the essayist Luis Toledo Sande, this book sheds light on the essentially permanent nature of imperialism as a system that strives to dominate the world, resorting to trickery and deceit when necessary \u2013 and not only in the case of Cuba. Two faces of this approach have recently made themselves visible: the line taken by Barack Obama, followed by the more crudely aggressive threats served up by Donald.<\/p>\n
