What‘s happening in Cuba? | Green Left Show #17

The establishment media in the west profiled a lot of critical commentary about Cuba in the wake of the July 11 protests in that country. However, a lot of that coverage was misinformation and distortion. Since then, the media has gone back to its usual approach of ignoring developments in Cuba.

In this episode of the Green Left Show Helen Yaffe (Senior lecturer at University of Glasgow), Sujatha Fernandes (Professor of Sociology at the University of Sydney) and Ian Ellis-Jones (retired law lecturer) discuss the meaning and character of the July protests and the situation in the country since.
