ebooks The Indissolubility of Marriage and the Council of Trent by E. Christian Brugger in History

Description

For two centuries; Cuban exiles have found their way to the United States; especially to Florida. But since Castro's victory in 1959; Miami has seen almost one million Cubans arrive by sea and air. The impact on this area has been enormous. Miami---known as the "Exile Capital"---has a greater cultural affinity to Havana and the rest of Latin America than to Tallahassee; Florida's capital.Cuban Miami is the first analytical; photographic record of Cuban migration to south Florida. Robert M. Levine and Moises Asis have interviewed members of every sector of the Cuban exile community; from the first pioneers to the mass waves in the early 1960s to those who arrived by raft during the late 1990s. In their wide-ranging investigation of Cuban-U.S. history; they touch upon all aspects of Cuban influence: politics; cuisine; music; assimilation; discrimination; and institution buildings. Miami has more Cuban food establishments than the nearby island does. The city has been fertile ground for germinating a unique synthesis of Cuban and Americans are the most prosperous immigrant group in the United States today; this success has come at a price---living in exile can exact a personal toll.Cuban Miami is a feast for the eyes; including 180 photographs and original cartoons drawn for the book by Jose M. Varela; a well-known member of the Cuban-American community.
