Editor’s Note/Nota del editor I write this editorial note in gloomy times, under the shadow of almost one year of the presidency of Donald Trump. It has been quite the year, rich in daily insults; a Goebbelian disregard for the truth; crass nepotism; vicious xenophobia; and a vulgar, exhibitionist racism of the white-supremacist, neo-Nazi, Ku Klux Klan kind. That is, of the worst possible kind. This is Trump’s America, where some people feel entitled to publicly spew anti-Semitic diatribes and where black bodies are frequently on the receiving end of police bullets. Bigotry now lives in the White House, basking in arrogance and ineptitude. As I have written elsewhere, the White House is now the Whites’ House. Make America great again. To the community of authors, editors, and readers of Cuban Studies, the Donald Trump presidency has been particularly harmful. Some of the administration’s new policies toward Cuba, particularly the drastic reduction of diplomatic personnel, has made it nearly impossible to do our work, which depends on frequent contacts, collaboration, and exchange. For our Cuba-based colleagues it is now extremely difficult, expensive, and cumbersome, to obtain a visa to attend academic events in the United States. To do so, they must travel to a third country to be interviewed and wait for the visa, which is not guaranteed. This has increased our operation costs exorbitantly and is having a rather negative effect on the sort of academic exchange and collaboration on which we all thrive. I sincerely hope that this policy is reversed soon and that the mystery surrounding the illness of several American and Canadian diplomats is promptly elucidated. Meanwhile, it is somewhat refreshing to reaffirm what we all know: that scholarship and academic production have their own spaces, their own rhythms, their own logic, which is thankfully independent from short term partisan agend
