description During the 1960s, Cuba attracted many activists of the French “revolutionary left” who had broken with Soviet Marxism and sought a more radical and “Third-Worldist” revolutionary project. The members of the Comité de liaison scientifique et universitaire franco-cubain (CFC) founded after the Cultural Congress of Havana (1968) embody this political orientation and the emergence of this association attests to the rapprochement between the “New Left” and Castroism. The CFC advocated growing collaboration between French and Cuban intellectuals, for instance through the organization of summer schools. But the imprisonment of Heberto Padilla in 1971 announced Cuba’s sovietization, which worried many CFC members who feared a Stalinist drift of the Cuban Revolution. The CFC un-consulted archives allow us to explore the debates triggered by the Padilla affairs, which broke the unity of the organization and undermined solidarity with the Castro project.
