But what is poverty? In simple language, to be poor is to be hungry, to lack shelter and clothing, to be sick and not cared for, to be illiterate and not schooled. But, living in poverty makes poor vulnerable to adverse events outside their control. They are often treated badly by the institutions of state and society and also excluded from voice and power in these institutions. 606 $aPoverty$zAsia 607 $aAsia$xEconomic policy 607 $aAsia$xEconomic conditions$y1945- 615 0$aPoverty 676 $a339.4/6095 701 $aRoy$b K.

Though poor and uneducated, Ricardo Batrell believed in the promise of Cuba Libre, the vision of a democratic and egalitarian nation that inspired the Cuban War of Independence. After the war ended in 1898, Batrell taught himself to read and write and published a memoir of his wartime experiences, Para la Historia . Originally published in 1912-the same year in which the Cuban government massacred more than 5,000 Afro-Cubans-this work of both protest and patriotism is the only 606 $aBlack people$zCuba$vBiography 606 $aSoldiers$zCuba$vBiography 607 $aCuba$xHistory$yRevolution, 1895-1898$vPersonal narratives 615 0$aBlack people 615 0$aSoldiers 676 $a972.91/05 700 $aBatrell$b Ricardo$f1880-$01871424 701 $aSanders$b Mark A.$f1963-$01092407 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969264503321 996 $aA black soldier's story$94480248 997 $aUNINA
