DESCRIPTION:Fresh insight about one of history’s most enigmatic relationships between 
 neighboring countries is presented by one of America’s best known voices 
 of political activism. While many know Tom Hayden as a hero of the student 
 movements of the sixties and a former California Assembly member and State 
 senator, few know that in recent years Hayden has become one of the 
 world’s foremost experts on the United States’ relationship with Cuba. 
 \n\nWith intimate access to backroom politics, extensive experience 
 traveling through both countries, and a nuanced analysis long in the 
 making, Hayden is peerless at untangling all that has led to the recent 
 crucial change in the nations’ relationship. He documents the remarkable 
 influence Cuba has had across Latin America. He examines the writings of 
 Che Guevara, Regis Debray, and C. Wright Mills. He discusses the Cuban 
 Missile Crisis, the Weather Underground, the assassination of JFK, and the 
 strong historical links between Cuba and Africa. Both the Carter and 
 Clinton eras are viewed by Hayden, as are the Cuban 5, Elian Gonzalez, and 
 the possibilities for both nations in the new accord.\n\nTom Hayden, 
 principle architect of the New Left, is one of the most recognizable, 
 tireless, and courageous voices of the movements of the sixties.  He was 
 the chief author of the Port Huron Statement, and was president of Students 
 for a Democratic Society from 1962 to 1963.  In 1969, he was indicted as 
 one of the “Chicago Eight” for his role organizing the protests that 
 disrupted the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.  In 1982 he 
 was elected to the California State Assembly, and in 1992 to the California 
 State Senate.  His previous books include The Other Side, Trial, The Love 
 of Possession is a Disease With Them, Irish Hunger, Rebel, and Ending the 
 War in Iraq.\n\nPresented by KPFA Radio 94.1FM\n\nHosted by Gloria LaRiva, 
 a longtime activist, has been a candidate for President, Vice-President and 
 Governor of California in various elections for the Peace and Freedom Party 
 and the Party  for Socialism and Liberation.  She translated Fidel 
 Castro’s book, Cuba at the Crossroads, and produced documentary videos 
 Nato Targets, Workers’ Democracy in Cuba and others. \n\n$12 advance
