Anna Lidia Vega Serova (3rd from left)
In Novemeber 2013 we welcomed award-winning Cuban author Anna Lidia Vega Serova (pictured here, third from left). The Local Memphis Socialist Party co-hosted a lecture with Anna Lidia, an radical socialist-feminist author of Russo-Cuban descent.
In addition to the lecture, SP members had the chance
to directly engage with Anna Lidia and discuss issues such as housing,
transportation, and healthcare. We learned a lot about how
these socialized systems work in Cuba, and how the US addresses or fails to address these issues in our country.
She gifted us a pack of
Cuban cigarettes and we in turn gave her an SP-USA pin and a H.O.P.E.
tshirt. We anticipate reconnecting with Anna Lidia in March and
receiving copies of her new books.
If you would like to read some of her shorter works, please email memphissocialistparty@gmail.co
Stay tuned by joining or renewing your membership for more
great events like these, coming at ya from the Memphis Socialist Party!
And, of course, many thanks to our Spanish-speaking members who
translated numerous emails and conversations to help make this a
success!
Some of her works translated to english can be found here:
