Keith Bolender launches a new course on Cuban-American relations, and a new book is launched at A Different Booklist.
But first, dramatic news from Rwanda. A woman accused of sensational crimes, emerging from 12 months of prison, is contesting the Presidency of Rwanda. Phil and Dr. Thoegene Rudasingwa, former Rwandan ambassador to the United States, discuss the criminalization of opposition in Rwanda and the growing recognition of the Presidential dictatorship that now engulfs the country.
Later in the program, Norman Otis Richmond explains the upcoming book launch this Saturday at A Different Booklist [746 Bathurst], including a discussion of Manning Marable's book "Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention." Although described as the definitive work on Malcolm X, and an attempt to 'humanize' Malcolm, Richmond warns about the watering down of this powerful figure.
Finally, Keith Bolender provides a detailed account of economic changes in Cuba and its new relations with Latin America. Will the United States ever engage with Cuba?
