'Tricontinental' is back

By Leonardo Anoceto

After approximately four years without being published, as a result of Cuba's severe economic crisis, Tricontinental magazine is once again poised for circulation on a quarterly basis.

Edited by the Organisation of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America (OSPAAAL) and financed by Italian revolutionaries, the magazine will retain its usual cultural content and in-depth feature articles, its director, Ana Maria Pellon, assured Granma International.

At the event announcing Tricontinental's return — attended by Cuban Minister of Culture Armando Hart and Juan Contino, national coordinator for the Committees for the Defence of the Revolution — Silvya Solorzano, Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unity (URNG) representative to OSPAAAL in Cuba and a member of its executive committee, recalled that Tricontinental "is the medium for showing our solidarity with the common struggle of our continents, which have experienced such impoverishment.

"We all share a responsibility for enriching the struggle, at this point in time when social issues are high on the agenda. This issue is just an initial effort and an instrument for everyone's use."

Adriana Miaia, representing the Italian friends of Cuba, said that the magazine is greatly appreciated by Italian revolutionaries, as a vehicle for a better understanding of proletarian internationalism. "What we did was not a cooperative gesture, but a debt in repayment for everything that Cuba has given the peoples of the world."

Tricontinental will be published twice more during the remainder of this year, and the final issue will be dedicated to the 30th anniversary of OSPAAAL's founding, which will be celebrated on January 6, 1996. [From Granma International.]
