Cuban Blogs Increasing in Number

Not too long ago, when I began my first blog, Cuba-Blog, I had to search hard to find websites and blogs about my birth place, Cuba. More often than not, the sites were either politically focused, and careened radically to the right or left of the political spectrum or were nothing more than a listing of traditional Cuban recipes and rhumbas.

Now more sites are appearing, more blogs are being written, and more diversity of topic and thought is evident. Even prior to the obvious infirmity of El Comandante Fidel Castro Ruz, his name appeared less and less on Cuban-topic sites. I applaud this movement toward normalcy. I celebrate the departure from radical cyber-rhetoric, and invite everyone to share their memories, thoughts and experiences -- whether still in Cuba (I know this will take a little doing, but it can be done!); a Cuban emigré; or anyone interested in or knowledgeable about the island and its people.

A great place (in addition to my own to start Cuba-Blog) is blog I've recently read by Liz Henry who was looking for Cuban Blogs and apparently received quite a few responses. She's got a nice blog besides that, so give it a visit!

  • ¡Que interesante su blog!

    Me pregunte si usted puede ayudarme con algo...

    Yo sé que la mayoría de los cubanos no tienen acceso al Internet, pero mi sitio tiene muchos recursos para empresarios, los grupos de mujeres, la sociedad civil, y más. Puedo mandarle por correo electrónico copias de los documentos si le gustaría. También, puedo proporcionar el espacio para acoger su blog o su sitio. Favor de mandarme un correo electrónico con cualquier preguntas o los comentarios. Me encantarían las opiniones de la comunidad cubana. ¡Adoraría su reacción!

    ¡Gracias!
