Everything to do with the USA's own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we're also there).

Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you'd like as long as it's about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don't forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here's a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.

This confused me:

Under the fidelist-inspired title Sowing Ideas, Sowing Consciousness, the program against cultural decolonization is one of the fundamental milestones of the year that is ending. It was launched last January 28, coinciding with the 170th anniversary of Jose Martí's birth. Representatives of our artistic and intellectual vanguard were involved in the elaboration of the theses and initial lines of action. In doing so, they responded to approaches, concerns, ideas and proposals debated over the last few years.

Do the Cubans not believe in decolonization, at least as it is known in the West, or do they think they have a better alternative?

It's likely that this is a mistranslation as I've heard quite the opposite about Cuba vis a vis decolonization.
