‘Declarations of Havana’ sell
at Lebanon meeting on Cuba
 
Participants in the Beirut celebration of 50 years of the Cuban Revolution snapped up 11 copies of The First and Second Declarations of Havana in Arabic, published by the Athens publishing house Diethnes Vima.

Adopted by million-strong assemblies of the Cuban people in 1960 and 1962, these documents continue to stand as manifestos of revolutionary struggle by working people the world over.

Pathfinder volunteers staffed a large stand featuring titles on Cuba and world politics. Six other Pathfinder titles in English, French, and Spanish were sold. These included New International no. 12 featuring the article “Capitalism’s Long Hot Winter Has Begun” and various titles on the Cuban Revolution. Some Palestinian participants had been students in Cuba and were fluent in Spanish.
