Jesuit FP LIft Cuba K 1ACTournament: Grapevine | Round: 1 | Opponent: Union AJ | Judge: The bedrock of US Cuba policy is ideological domination. The US has justified this domination by framing Cuba as security, economic, and domestic political threats. These frames are rooted in the discursive and historical construction of Cuba and the Cuban people as “stunted humans” and “underdeveloped” in need of saving. We isolate several implications to continuing this discursive, epistemic, and policy approach to Cuba This mentality creates a civilized/barbarian dichotomy that justifies the use of coercive democratization and the promotion of neo-liberalism under the guise of democracy promotion This type of all encompassing security politics authorizes limitless global destruction. Cultural Erasure: The US embargo against Cuba is an act of cultural erasure – American imperialism is founded on racist images of Cubans and economic paternalism This neoliberal logic of disposability underlies all security impacts and makes extinction inevitable Disposability isn’t just symbolic –it’s real—the Embargo causes real suffering for the Cuba people specifically Afro-Cuban women are viewed as disposable so that northerners can enjoy a good and free society Trivialization of this violence makes all war inevitable Each affirmation that places disposable populations at the center of the decision creates a pedagogical strategy of resistance As policymakers and academics, we have a responsibility to investigate the metaphors behind the American imperial project in Cuba—must challenge the representations, the history, and change the policies. The analysis of … defense of their interests.

The embargo is an on-going assault on the Cuban people and must be ended immediately. There is no justification for keeping the Embargo in place for any reason. Thus the plan: | 10/18/13 |
