I have mentioned Yoani before on this blog, but I haven’t provided much information about her besides linking to her blog posts.
What makes Yoani so admirable and unique is that she is one of the few Cuban bloggers who post from Cuba without hiding her identity. I came across this Wall Street Journal article from 2007 that gives a good indication of what makes Yoani tick.
There are also some nice illustrations (except for a weird portrait of someone who might be Yoani) by Peter Babakitis.
For those of you who dismiss the WSJ outright as a tool for reactionary corporatism, (they DID give Karl Rove an opinion column today stating that only 9% of Americans are without health insurance while the actual number is around 47 million) please read the article regardless, it’s a good one.
