Garcia, Maia Christina. "Cuban Exiles and Cuban Americans: A History of an Immigrant Community in South Florida, 1959-1989," University of Texas at Austin, January 1990. Advisor: Robert M. Crunden (8, 2, 11)
This history of the Cuban immigrant community chronicles the details of the Cubans’ immigration and adaptation, and examines the cultural, political, and intellectual life of the community. The study focuses on south Florida, specifically the city of Miami, which became the center of Cuban creativity and cultural expression in the United States. The study explores how the emigres asserted their identity—their cubanidad—and how this identity influenced their relationship to Cubba and the United States. It was their active participation in the affairs of both countries that made their community distinctive, and which ultimately engendered a hybrid society, or border town between the Americas.
