Cuban Philosophy

Prof. Kang Ouyang in China is doing research on Cuban Philosophy. he would
appreciate
any help we can give him with information . if you know the answers to any
of his questions, you can communicate directly with him in English. he does
not read Spanish, so Cuban materials would not be very helpful unless they
are in English translation. you could also send him the email addresses of
anyone you know who could help him with his research
