Afro-Cuban Alliance - Revista Islas

The Afro-Cuban Alliance has a magazine in Spanish and English at www.angelfire.com/planet/islas. They are NED funded since 2005.

From the masthead:

“Islas” is a quarterly publication dedicated to Afro-Cuban issues. It is part of a larger project named Afro-Cuban Alliance (ACA), a nonpartisan, not for-profit, charitable and educational organization in existence since May 2004, based and incorporated in the State of Florida.   

Islas will seek to inform Cubans of African descent on the island and abroad about civil rights, the hidden history of slavery, racial discrimination in Cuba, and the experience of civil rights movements internationally.   

To ensure a broad spectrum of perspectives and to promote public discussion, we seek to receive articles from Afro-Cubans, individuals of African descent throughout the world, and other interested persons to better gain their perspectives and experiences on the status of African-descent populations in their countries and the struggles they have faced.   Islas accepts articles and essays related to history, art, literature, religion, folklore, and contemporary issues. All the articles reflects the opinion of the authors.

Juan Antonio Alvarado is the Editor in Chief, Revista Islas
