Join us for the second of two webinars this spring that explore how scholars, journalists, and artists are recovering a more complete picture of the Angolan Civil War’s legacy.

Half a century after the start of Cuba’s military involvement in Angola, the war remains one of the most consequential yet least discussed experiences of the revolutionary period. For the tens of thousands of Cubans who served overseas between 1975 and 1991—as soldiers, teachers, doctors, and technicians—the conflict left lasting personal and social scars that have often been overshadowed by triumphalist official narratives.

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A with the online audience. This conversation will be conducted in both English and Spanish languages.
