Evo Morales is a polarizing figure in Latin American politics: a proudly left-leaning indigenous activist who defends the traditional rights of peasants to grow coca and describes the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas as "colonization." While opponents have labelled him a "narco-trade unionist," the charismatic Morales enjoys widespread popular support. As In These Times went to press, he was expected to win the special December 18 Bolivian presidential election. His election would place him in power alongside other Latin American leaders who are critical of America's neoliberal economic agenda: Hugo Chavez of Venezula, Lula de Silva of Brazil and, of course, Fidel Castro in Cuba. MORALES' UPBRINGING SHAPED his political philosophy. The son of coca farmers, he was raised in the barre...
«Los tres países de América del Norte son los mayores socios comerciales depenthentes los unos de los otros. Hay una integración creciente entre las tres economías de la región, en términos de comercio e inversión intrarregionales, convergencia macroeconómica y sincronización de ciclos económicos,» resaltó la secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores de México. La política exterior mexicana, durarrte los dos regímenes panistas que han gobernado al país, se han caracterizado por su indecisión a la hora de ir con Dios o con el diablo, que en este caso por obvia conveniencia, el dios viene siendo Estados Unidos, si se echa un pedo, a México le da disentería, como Io estamos comprobando, y el diablo, o «eje del mal» como diría Reagan, viene siendo lo que queda de Cuba, la Nicaragua de Daniel Orte...

Maria Morales-Prieto is descended from the Cuban political class: her great-great grandfather is Jose Miguel Gomez, the second president of Cuba, and his son Miguel Mariano Gomez was the 10th president of the island nation. Morales-Prieto, however, is very much "of the people." She owns her own public relations and marketing firm, and has made a name for herself as a Latina businesswoman. She took a moment to speak to us about her career trajectory. You formerly served as the executive director of the Long Island Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Why did you leave?
[George W. Bush], el candidato, trató de enamorar a los hispanos hablando español, prometiendo que trataría a los inmigrantes con "compasión", diciendo que sería el mejor amigo de México y manteniendo una linea dura contra Cuba. Pero, sobre todo, se dio cuenta que los valores morales de muchos hispanos coincidían con la agenda conservadora de los republicanos. Republicanos e hispanos -calculó Bush y su asesor político Karl Rove- podían ir de la mano al hablar de la familia, el aborto y la religión. Muchos de los candidatos republicanos quisieran que el inglés fuera el idioma oficial de Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, la realidad indica que cada vez hay más personas que hablan español en este país.

People sure know we're here now," laughs [Blanca Padilla], the energetic force behind Mambo's Cafe. She's referring to the odd coincidence of having opened her restaurant almost a year ago, just about the time Sol Hernandez, owner of Puerto Rican hotspot Sol Food, transformed the once sedate corner of Lincoln and Third avenues into a bright, tropical oasis (or eyesore, depending on your view) prior to opening her larger outlet. Padilla has commingled the cuisine of Puerto Rico, her country, with that of her husband Louis Morales's homeland Cuba. It's up to chef Freddy Yah, who's been cooking at Mambo's for most of its short tenure, to execute Padilla's authentic recipes. But make no mistake-Padilla is in the kitchen, too, cooking, tasting, overseeing. If she's not in the kitchen, she's...
