TKOCZ, Izabela y TRUJILLO HOLGUIN, Jesús Adolfo. Challenges of oral history in repressed societies: the Cuban case. Debates hist. [online]. 2021, vol.9, n.1, pp.155-183. Epub 20-Jun-2022. ISSN 2594-2956. https://doi.org/10.54167/debates-por-la-historia.v9i1.634.
This article focuses on the problems and potentials of oral history in repressed societies, the Cuban case. The work presented here is based on interviews carried out in a random and casual way during a stay on the island of Cuba from November to December 2018. The main objective of the research initially was to find and analyze the influences of Soviet propaganda on Cuban education and culture, but during the investigations, issues related to history and daily life after the Cuban revolution also appeared. Nevertheless, verification of the data provided by informants is problematic since official sources are totally controlled by the state and omit information that is uncomfortable for the government. Therefore, it is considered pertinent to reflect on the role and methodology of oral history in repressed societies
