Desde el exterior, pareciera que la influencia de éstos en la “sociedad civil” es real y que representan el futuro democrático. Sin embargo, la radical brutalidad que cayó sobre estos opositores, calificados por el régimen como “mercenarios al servicio del imperio”, no constituye el único obstáculo a su movimiento. La manera como fueron ignorados y fagocitados sólo se puede entender describiendo el contexto de una sociedad sumergida en el universo opaco de la lucha, el peso de un imaginario social obsesionado por la “intriga” y el trabajo de la propaganda oficial. Incluso los registros políticos en los cuales se inscriben comparten con la matriz castrista una cultura arraigada en la historia nacional que celebra las virtudes de la homogeneidad, de la unanimidad y del elitismo ilustrado.Traducción Alberto Valencia Gutiérrez, Profesor Universidad del Valle de Cali Colombia.application/pdfspaIEPRI, Universidad Nacional de Colombiahttp://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/anpol/article/view/45816Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Análisis PolíticoAnálisis PolíticoAnálisis Político; Vol. 22, núm. 67 (2009); 83-104 0121-4705Bloch, Vincent (2009) Reflections on cuban dissidence.
