The X-Ray as Therapy.
- Authors
Sánchez, Yoani
- Abstract
The article provides a description of what it is like to deal with the Cuban Office of Immigration and Aliens. The author enters the office with a sound recorder, followed by a friend who has a video recorder, to provide an official record of events at the office. She describes the paranoia of the officials who monitor all citizens, and make friends and family hostage to the actions committed by others. She explains that the record is to make it public on the internet, so others outside the country can understand what life is like in Cuba. This article was translated by MJ Porter.
