Kingston, November 9, 5:30-7:00 pm The Terrorist War Against Cuba and Its Impact: Book Launch and Discussion Policy Studies, Room 202, 138 Union St., Queen's University Organized by the Canadian Cuban Friendship Association of Kingston The Canadian Cuban Friendship Association of Kingston is pleased to launch: Voices from the Other Side: An Oral History of Terrorism against Cuba - With author, Keith Bolender, - Introduction by H.E. Teresita Vicente, Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba to Canada - Question and Answer Period Moderated by CCFA-Kingston Member, Mary Ann Higgs Introduced by Noam Chomsky, Bolender's book is first and foremost a moving "testimonio" of some of the thousands of Cubans affected by the relatively unknown terrorist war waged on Cuba since the Revolution. Through their words, we grasp their half-century of endurance of every conceivable form of terrorism and learn about Cuba's counter-measures. The personal toll of this hidden war has been calculated at 3,478 dead and 2,099 injured. Voices from the Other Side helps us understand the jumble of contradictions that is Cuba and provides a unique resource for anyone interested in Cuba's troubled relationship with the US. Published by Pluto Press, London, Voices from the Other Side will be available for purchase.
