One of the greatest achievements of the Cuban Revolution was to
eliminate illiteracy, which was accomplished just two years after the
triumph of the Cuban Revolution. Vancouver Communities in Solidarity
with Cuba (VCSC) invites you to a special evening with acclaimed
author Shirley Langer about her novel “Anita’s Revolution”.

>> About ANITA’S REVOLUTION:

“Fidel Castro announced before the United Nations in 1960 that Cuba
would be “a territory free from illiteracy” by the end of 1961. How
Cuba achieved that goal is what Anita’s Revolution is about. Cuba
called upon its young people to volunteer to become teachers, and more
than 100,000 of them answered the call. It was to be the adventure of
their lives!”

Who is Anita? What was her adventure? Why did she become a volunteer?
Why did more than 100,000 like her become volunteers? What challenges
and dangers did these youth face? How did their heroic effort change
the future of Cuba?

“Anita’s Revolution is a tribute to the potential and spirit of youth.”
