ACCIDENTAL INTERNATIONALIST
Reflections of an American Worker in the Cuban Revolution

Mike Fuller's Jan 5th talk at the Brecht Forum was well attended and enjoyed by all.

We will be posting updates here on the new urban garden at José Martí International Journalism Institute, and our online collection of articles on organic agriculture in Cuba will continue to grow. Send us links or articles for this section!

Mike Fuller is a United States citizen who has been living and working in Cuba since the 1994 rafter crisis. This translator, editor, simultaneous interpreter and English teacher will reflect upon his jobs, family life and peak experiences over the last six years of massive transformations in Cuba. Tracing his personal history in U.S. and international progressive movements, he will discuss recent activities on that island and search for common spaces with participants.

Fuller's talk is not meant to be a highly theoretical analysis, but rather an easy-going
conversation about one person's life as a modest melody of resistance and an invitation for others to sing along.

Mike Fuller currently collaborates in Havana with Prensa Latina, a Cuban news agency; the José Martí International Journalism Institute; Infomed, the Ministry of Public Health telecommunications system; the National Translation and Interpretation Team; and Cubalinda.com, a travel agency set up by former CIA officer Philip Agee, designed to encourage Americans to resist the blockade and travel to Cuba.

Donations collected at Mike's talk will benefit the new Urban Gardening Project at the José Martí International Journalism Institute in Havana. This garden is part of a national program to develop sustainable urban agricultural plots, providing fresh produce daily to the Cuban population.
