Synopsis

Fidel Castro speaks directly to those who are demanding an alternative to the global ravages of capitalism: "People used to talk about apartheid in South Africa. Today we could talk about apartheid throughout the world, where over four billion people are deprived of the most basic rights of all human beings."
Addressing the Durban conference on racism, the Cuban leader declared that "Racism, racial discrimination and xenophobia are not natural, instinctive human reactions but are social, cultural and political phenomena born directly of war, military conquest, slavery and exploitation."
This collection also contains Fidel Castro's condemnation of Washington's new "war against terrorism," an escalating cycle to terror in which the first victims are always those people living in the poor and underdeveloped world.
