Paul et al.
I'm planning to be in Cuba from October 7 - 14. I'd very much like to make
contact with a mathematics educator there, if anyone can suggest a contact,
perferably someone who can meet more than half-way linguistically.
Thanks.

Esteemed x(mca)ites,

Can anyone refer me to any good works on the Cuban educational system, any
studies of its organization, and in particular the possible influence of
Freire and liberation pedagogy?

Thanks in advance.

"It seems ridiculous to me to attempt to study society as a mere
observer. He who wishes only to observe will observe nothing, for as he
is useless in actual work and a nuisance in recreations, he is admitted to
neither. We observe the actions of others only to the extent to which we
ourselves act." - Jean Jacque Rousseau
