We can&#8217;t see the forest yet. Still, laying off more than a million workers over the next eighteen months is no small matter, and that&#8217;s exactly what the Cuban government aims to do. Raúl Castro and other officials insist that it&#8217;s an actualización, an update of the economic model, not really [...]]]></description>

At almost 48 million, Hispanics are 15 percent of the U.S. population. Though the largest minority, most Hispanics do not identify as such but rather by their national origins. Culturally and politically, African Americans remain the more-cohesive minority.

Mexican Americans constitute two-thirds of all Hispanics. Four in ten Mexicans in the United [...]]]></description>

Latin Americans are in an upbeat mood. Most (78 percent) feel that they and  their families are moving in the right direction, even if their countries (45  percent) and the world (41 percent) are not. Still, in 2003, fewer Latin  Americans saw their country (30 percent) and the [...]]]></description>

It wasn&#8217;t the inauguration that Alvaro Uribe had wanted. In March, Colombia&#8217;s Constitutional Court denied him the possibility of ever seeking a third term, and so on Aug. 7 he witnessed the next best thing: Juan Manuel Santos sworn in as president. In his inaugural address, Santos called Uribe an &#8220;illustrious [...]]]></description>

It was a memorable July 26 after all. For the first time ever, neither Fidel nor Raúl Castro addressed the nation. The nondescript José Ramón Machado Ventura &#8212; Raúl&#8217;s second in command &#8212; delivered the main speech, reminding Cubans that the &#8220;economic battle&#8221; is the  &#8220;principal task.&#8221;
Machado echoed Raúl&#8217;s words in [...]]]></description>

Women in Latin America have come a long way but aren&#8217;t there yet. The  legacy of Iberian colonialism, male-centered Catholicism and an  undemocratic past all contributed to societies that subjugated women to  men. Economic backwardness also compounded the unfriendly ambience for  women in the region.

In 1988, Amnesty International, the International Committee of the  Red Cross, the Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Policy Studies, the  Bar Association of the City of New York and, most notably, the then-U.N.  Commission on Human Rights all sent delegations to Cuba.
A year earlier the UNCHR first [...]]]></description>

Until Tuesday, we were in a holding pattern. Then Havana finally began the transfer of six men out of 53 still imprisoned during the Black Spring of 2003 to jails closer to their homes.
On May 19, Raúl Castro met with Jaime Ortega &#8212; cardinal and archbishop of Havana &#8212; [...]]]></description>

At a meeting of the Río Group in February, a Group of Friends led by  Dominican President Leonel Fernández offered to mediate the conflict between two  neighbors.
