GUEST:
Juan Antonio Madrazo Luna
Synopsis:
Cuba is recognized for its principles of racial equality. However, this is another one of the myths surrounding the process known as the Cuban Revolution. Madrazo Luna has dedicated part of his life and studies to denouncing racial discrimination on the island, and he applies his understanding of intersectionality to his work at the CIR–all this is part of our conversation here.
