UNC Charlotte Latin American Studies MA Program

Dear Colleagues and Friends
Marking another anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Historias Podcast of SECOLAS is launching a miniseries produced by Dustin Walcher and Renata Keller, with assistance from Blair Rogers. This audiodocumentary takes listeners on a journey through twentieth-century history to understand the deep causes and lasting consequences of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Over the course of six hour-long episodes, historians Dustin Walcher and Renata Keller interview today’s leading experts on Cuban history and inter-American relations. Most listeners will probably already be familiar with the traditional story of Kennedy and Khrushchev going eyeball to eyeball, but these scholars help us tell a new story that provides a critical Cuban and Latin American context for one of the most important events of modern history. In this episode, Dustin and Renata explain their goal for the audiodocumentary: to teach listeners about the Cuban context of the Cuban Missile Crisis. They speak with Lars Schoultz, Lillian Guerra, William LeoGrande, Carlos Alzugaray, Lorraine Bayard de Volo, Michael Bustamante, and Michelle Chase about the deep history of Cuba’s struggles for sovereignty that formed the backdrop of the Cuban Revolution and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
