Global Affairs Center programs begin this week at Shoreline Community College with “Cuba – A Country in Flux” this Wed., Oct. 14, from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in the PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208).
Tim Payne, who teaches Economics at Shoreline, and Tod O’Driscoll, a freelance photographer who lives in Edmonds, have both traveled to Cuba in recent years, and will share their observations and images of this small but complex country. For more information about the speakers, visit our biographies page.
Cuba, a Caribbean Island nation of 11 million, is experiencing internal and external changes, most noticeably the thaw in relations with the United States. Given that the U.S. embargo on trade with and travel to Cuba has been in place since 1961, it is not surprising that most Americans know little about this place.
What is daily life like for most Cubans? How do they make a living? What are their hopes and dreams? What are the current political and economic realities of life like for Cubans? What about religious freedom? Cuba is a land of contrasts and contradictions, and no matter how many times you have visited, it is a country that is hard to totally wrap your head around and gain a full understanding of its people, culture and traditions.

Princess Angeline, film – 11:30 a.m., PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208)
Co-sponsored by Project Pride – This film from independent indigenous filmmaker Sandra Johnson Osawa (Makah) and her partner Yasu Osawa uses the story of Chief Seattle’s oldest daughter—Princess Angeline or Kikisebloo—to explore the history of the Duwamish people and their so-far fruitless quest for federal recognition.
Smoke Signals, movie – 12:30–2:30 p.m., PUB Room 9202
Written, directed, co-produced and mostly acted by American Indians, Smoke Signalsis a road movie within an indigenous flair. With a screenplay written by Sherman Alexi (Spokane-Coeur d’Alene), the movie pokes fun at the way Native Americans are stereotypically imagined in America today and challenges non-Indian viewers to come to terms with Native American experiences and perspectives. Film will be followed with Native comedy shorts and discussion.

The Multicultural Center will sponsor workshops, presentations and trainings every Friday in room 9102. For our first Friday of activities, please come and join us Fri. Oct. 9 for a viewing and discussion of two films:
STRUGGLE IN THE FIELDS – PUB 9102 at 10:30 a.m.
September 15-October 15 is Latino Heritage Month!
“The Struggle in the Fields,” examines the importance of Cesar Chavez and his efforts to organize farm workers in the central valley of California. It delineates the various components of Chávez’s strategy for farm worker self determination—strikes, boycotts, pilgrimages, fasts—and emphasizes his commitment to nonviolence and the importance of faith and prayer in achieving his goal. 58 minutes.
THE DELANO MANONGS – PUB 9102 at 11:45 a.m.
October is Filipino American History Month!
“The Delano Manongs” tells the story of farm labor organizer Larry Itliong and a group of Filipino farm workers who instigated one of the American farm labor movement’s finest hours – The Delano Grape Strike of 1965 that brought about the creation of the United Farm Workers Union (UFW). While the movement is known for Cesar Chavez’s leadership and considered a Chicano movement, Filipinos played a pivotal role. Filipino labor organizer, Larry Itliong, a cigar-chomping union veteran, organized a group of 1500 Filipinos to strike against the grape growers of Delano, California, beginning a collaboration between Filipinos, Chicanos and other ethnic workers that would go on for years. 30 minutes.
