Writing about Cuba

In 2015, President Obama helped to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba; the first time in over 50 years. Despite the renewed relations and its effect internationally, the U.S. enforced embargo continues. In the July 2016 edition of Harper’s Magazine, Dr. Joy Gordon, Ignacio Ellacuría, S.J. Professor of Social Ethics in the Department of Philosophy, addresses such issues in her article, El Bloqueo, which provides an in-depth look at the long-term consequences of the embargo and what it means today.
