Since taking office, Raul has lifted a ban on cell phones and other consumer items, such as DVD players and rice cookers. He has increased pensions for the elderly and purchased new Chinese buses for Havana's mass-transit system. To address a food shortage, Raul has given Cuban farmers more control over their land, and allowed them to sell their own produce. Restrictions have also been lifted on Cubans wishing to stay at the island's resort hotels that cater to foreign tourists. Between The Lines' Melinda Tuhus spoke with Joy Gordon, a professor of philosophy at Fairfield University, who has visited Cuba almost every year since 1990, often for extended periods. She spent two semesters as a visiting professor at the University of Havana. Gordon explains why she believes the change in leadership has led to improvements in the day-to-day lives of Cubans.
