The Ocean Sur publishing house presented new books about the Bay of Pigs invasion, the first major defeat of imperialism in Latin America, and the famous debate between diplomats Ra\u00fal Roa and Adlai Stevenson at the United Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event took place at the 5th edition of the Patria International Colloquium and was attended by the president of Ocean Press and Ocean Sur, David Deutschmann, and the president of the Latin American news agency Prensa Latina, Jorge Lega\u00f1oa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor almost 40 years, publishing hundreds of books on the Cuban Revolution, we have tried to prioritize the words of the Revolution, because it is important to present its reality in its own words,\u201d Deutschmann stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The book \u201cPlaya Gir\u00f3n.\u201d Fidel Castro Ruz, 65 Years After That Socialist April, is a compilation by researcher Elier Ram\u00edrez of the speeches, communiqu\u00e9s, and analyses of the Commander-in-Chief related to the historical event; it is a product of the alliance with the magazine Cuba Socialista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Playa Gir\u00f3n at the UN: The Famous Roa vs. Stevenson Debate addresses the 1961 political confrontation between then-Foreign Minister Ra\u00fal Roa, known as the Chancellor of Dignity, and the U.S. delegate to the United Nations, Adlai Stevenson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lega\u00f1oa explained that the presentation of the texts connects three fundamental battles: the political one, in the words of the Commander-in-Chief; the diplomatic one, in the voice of the Chancellor of Dignity; and the communicational one, present then and still relevant in a space like Patria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Roa debate is a gem of Cuban narrative; Roa managed to outwit his opponents with impressive academic and intellectual rigor, the agency\u2019s president noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both emphasized the historical and educational value of the publications, designed especially for new generations. \u201cThese are books for young people, because three generations have been born since the Bay of Pigs invasion, and the latest barely knows the slogans of that victory; we must return to Fidel and Roa,\u201d the Cuban journalist pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also stressed that the ideas of homeland, sovereignty, and independence permeate both volumes, and the Bay of Pigs confrontation remains a point of reference for understanding current challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Bay of Pigs in Cuba 65 years ago is also the Bay of Pigs in Iran, Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and southern Lebanon,\u201d Lega\u00f1oa noted, highlighting the enduring relevance of resistance against imperialism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the presentation, David Deutschmann announced that the publishing house will conclude the year with 40 titles in Spanish and the same number in English, all dedicated to the work of Fidel Castro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe best way to learn about Mart\u00ed, Che, and Fidel is to read them,\u201d he stated, emphasizing that Ocean Sur and Ocean Press\u2019s commitment to Cuba is greater than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
