Community/Alternative Press Encounter Oct 21-25 Havana Cuba UPDATE 8/1/96 Some of you folks have been asking me what kind of groups are coming what is their line etc... Well I just finished a partial e-list of people either confirmed or interested which I include here for organizing amongst yourselves). We also just sent out a *massive* snail mailing which included hordes of alternative press groups swarms of feisty activists and a sizable flock of academics. We've got the likes of Art Rosenblum from the Aquarian Research Center who's bringing down a soiree of interested participants in his four-seat Cessna (there won't be any probs with the Cuban air force --we've already got the flight cleared). Dr. Louisa Montgomery has not only been preparing a paper on the nuances of government press control but has been terrific help with the conference's organizing (and you can feel free to help her...) Jeremy Smith from the Center for Campus Organizing Journalism Project says he may bring down some students with him and has been talking it up on the e-lists. We're still trying to convince Paul Glover of the Ithaca NY HOUR project (alternative currency) that it is ecologically ethical to take a plane to Cuba. If he ever gets here were going to do a symbolic Hour-Peso exchange. We've got "best wishes" from Robin Blackburn at New Left Review in London and I'm meeting with an NLR rep in Havana in August. We've got the conference center all squared away still in the Pan American Villa and equipped with everything a bunch of alternative journalists activists and academics need to brainstorm for a week. Some people are planning to stay another week or two to pursue the professional connections that will surely be made at the conference --we can help with this! We've got two reps in Latin America from the Cuban Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR) who say they have more than 100 people committed already!

URBACIDE: Urbacide is the systematic eradication of the cultural essence of a city. Military tactics include the deliberate obliteration of houses of worship schools museums libraries burial grounds media outlets and cultural monuments. The term Urbacide was coined to describe the Serbian siege of Sarajevo during the Yugoslavian civil war. In the case of Sarajevo urbacide was employed in an attempt to break the will of a multicultural city which refused to succumb to the forces of tribalism.
