The Network of Independent Cuban Publishers (REDECI) was promoted by ten editors, informedCyberCuba, the poet and editor exiled in Spain,Felipe Lázaro; one of the promoters of the new literary entity.

Almenara Press, Betania, Bokeh, Casa Vacía, Deslinde, Hypermedia, Ilíada Ediciones, InCUBAdora, Rialta Ediciones and Verbumare the publishing houses promoting the effort, which will make its official presentation during the congress ofLatin American Studies Association (LASA), which is celebrated until the 27th in Canada.

“With different editorial identities, ranging from the most contemporary literary practice to the critical recovery of archives or academic research, the labels that come together in the Network of Independent Cuban Publishers deal with the Cuban cultural field and do so, all of them, outside of the channels of legitimacy and circulation of the State,” its promoters warn on the new website.

Thinking about Cuba from the diversity of perspectives, intellectual positions and aesthetic registers is another hallmark of REDECI, which will have two stands, physical and virtual, at the LASA congress, inaugurated this Wednesday, in Vancouver.

Felipe Lázaro foundedBethany Publishing House, in 1987, in Madrid, and went into exile in 1960, traveling to Puerto Rico, where he lived until 1967, when he moved to Spain.
