Monument to Cuban rafters lost at sea Résumé : (Ownership) Received by the Rubenstein Library as a gift from Holly Ackerman in 2009. Photographed by Sergio Lastres. In December 1994, a public monument, called the Liberty Column, was inaugurated in Miami commemorating the journey and suffering of Cuban rafters. Designed by sculptor Enzo Gallo, the statue consists of hands raised to the sky and a round marble column set in a fountain. It is located at Bay Front Park in Miami in front of the Hotel Intercontinental. The statue was vandalized in 2004 and restored by Cuban-American sculptor Marc Andries Smit. The plaque beside the monument reads, “Since 1959, thousands of Cubans have perished anonymously while fleeing tyranny in small boats and makeshift rafts although their names, like martyred refugees of other nations, are written solely on the pages of the sea, this column is a permanent testimony of the human need to be free.” Cuba Guantánamo Bay (Cuba) | Partager |

Le Fahs d’Alger : une alternative pour la requalification du tourisme littoral ? Auteur(s) : Menouer, Ouassila Sahah Zerouala, Mohamed Dahmen, Abdelkarim Éditeur(s) : Université des Antilles Études caribéennes Résumé : Avec son ouverture sur le marché mondial, la ville d’Alger, ou El-Djezaïr, (capitale de l’Algérie), est devenue une destination importante pour le tourisme d’affaires. Par ailleurs, sa côte, riche en plages et en stations balnéaires, reste très convoitée par un tourisme, souvent, massif et destructeur de l’identité de son environnement. D’où l’intérêt de penser à une stratégie de développement touristique visant la protection de son littoral. L’objectif de la présente contribution est la requalification du tourisme littoral à Alger par la réinterprétation de la forme de plaisance et d’agrément qui y a existé avant 1830. Il vise, également, la mise en valeur de son patrimoine territorial : fontaine, résidences d’été, et ainsi que les chemins naturels qui ont, depuis les temps les plus reculés, relié le port de la ville à son arrière-pays.En effet, avant 1830, El-Djezaïr était dotée d’un « Fahs » : un territoire très célèbre par ses « djenanes » (une sorte de résidences d’été faisant face à la mer et dotées de fabuleux jardins). Les « djenanes », souvent, destinés à être des musées déserts, peuvent constituer un potentiel singulier pour la requalification du tourisme littoral d’Alger. L’une des alternatives possibles serait leur reconversion en structures d’accueil pour le tourisme d’affaires, culturel et d’agrément... La contribution présente le cas de la « la villa du traité », un lieu commémoratif de la capitulation de la ville d’Alger en 1830, classée monument historique en 2003. Dans le cadre de l’opération de restauration et de mise en valeur achevée en janvier 2014, la villa et son jardin, situés dans l’enceinte d’une annexe au centre hospitalier de Birtraria (Alger), ont été proposés pour abriter un centre d’éthique et un lieu de manifestations scientifiques nationale et internationale en médecine. With its opening on the world market, the city of Algiers, or El-Djezaïr, (capital of Algeria) has become an attractive destination for business tourism. Although, its coast, rich in beaches and seaside resorts, often undergoes a massive tourism that endangers its environment identity. Hence, it would be of first interest to set-up a touristic development strategy aiming the littoral safeguard. The main scope of this paper is the littoral tourism requalification in Algiers by reinterpreting the leisure and recreation facilities that existed there before 1830. Moreover, it focus on the valuation of its territorial heritage: fountains, summer residences, and mostly the natural paths that used to connect the city port to the hinterland since the earliest times.Indeed, before 1830, El-Djezaïr had its "Fahs”, a territory famous by its "djenanes": a kind of summer residences within fabulous gardens facing the sea. Often seemed like deserted museums, the "djenanes" could constitute a key opportunity coastal tourism requalification. One of the alternatives would be their reconversion into touristic structures for scientific, business, leisure and recreational tourism. The paper presents the case of “La Villa du Traité”, a commemorative place related to the capitulation of the city of Algiers in 1830. The place is proposed to become a center of ethics where national and international scientific events in Medicine could be held.
