Description
One hundred years after the birth of Fidel Castro, this timely conversation reflects on the life, legacy and enduring global symbolism of one of the 20th century’s most influential and divisive political figures.
For some, Castro represented anti-imperial resistance, national dignity and revolutionary hope; for others, authoritarianism, repression and the failures of ideological rule.
Bringing together history, politics and questions of power, the discussion explores Cuba’s place within the modern world, the global legacy of revolutionary movements and the complicated relationship between liberation, authority and political myth in an age still shaped by the afterlives of empire and revolution.
