Yoani Sanchez- Generation Y

A few quarters back, I had to read a couple of excerpts from Yoani's blog. She's a blogger from Havana. She talks about the current situation in Cuba, and deals with the topics of censorship, propoganda, rationing, etc.



Some excerpts:

"I often complain about this self-sufficient little fatty  in every Cuban home — the television — and its excessive influence on our lives. This week, for example, the nightly programming has been saturated with political messages that we later hear repeated in schools, workplaces, offices… in the infinite spiral of ideological propaganda"

"“The chocolate is over!” screamed my two friends, as I opened the door that night of July 31, 2006. They were alluding, with their improvised slogan, to the latest plan pushed by Fidel Castro to distribute a chocolate quota to every Cuban through the ration market."

It's super interesting! Check it out if you have time!
