  • The 1970S: Pluralization, Radicalization, and Homeland
    ch4.qxd 10/11/1999 10:10 AM Page 84 CHAPTER 4 The 1970s: Pluralization, Radicalization, and Homeland As hopes of returning to Cuba faded, Cuban exiles became more con- cerned with life in the United States. Exile-related struggles were put on the back burner as more immediate immigrant issues emerged, such as the search for better jobs, education, and housing. Class divisions sharpened, and advocacy groups seeking improved social services emerged, including, for example, the Cuban National Planning Council, a group of Miami social workers and businesspeople formed in the early 1970s. As an orga- nization that provided services to needy exiles, this group de‹ed the pre- vailing notion that all exiles had made it in the United States. Life in the United States created new needs and interests that could only be resolved, at least in part, by entering the domestic political arena. Although there had always been ideological diversity within the Cuban émigré community, it was not until the 1970s that the political spec- trum ‹nally began to re›ect this outwardly.1 Two sharply divided camps emerged: exile oriented (focused on overthrowing the Cuban revolution- ary government) and immigrant oriented (focused on improving life in the United States). Those groups that were not preoccupied with the Cuban revolution met with hostility from those that were. Exile leaders felt threat- ened by organized activities that could be interpreted as an abandonment of the exile cause. For example, in 1974 a group of Cuban exile researchers conducted an extensive needs assessment of Cubans in the United States and concluded that particular sectors, such as the elderly and newly arrived immigrants, were in need of special intervention.2 When their ‹ndings were publicized, they were accused of betraying the community because of their concern with immigrant problems rather than the over- throw of the revolution.

  • Growing up in Neverland: an Assessment of the Long-Term Physical and Cognitive
    Palenzuela, 1 Growing Up in Neverland: An assessment of the long-term physical and cognitive correlates of the Operation Pedro Pan exodus Deanna Palenzuela Advisor: Dr. James McPartland PSYC 493 Pages: 28 1 credit Palenzuela, 2 Abstract Between December 1960 and October 1962, over 14,000 Cuban youths arrived in the United States through Operation Pedro Pan and were sent to Catholic Welfare Group Homes, foster homes, and family members throughout the country as they awaited their parents. No prior studies have explored the long-term physical and cognitive correlates of the developmental disturbance of being an unaccompanied minor in the now adult Pedro Pan population. This study aimed to investigate whether the Pedro Pan population exhibits persistent differences in their physical health, mental health, and attachment secondary to childhood separation from their family, as compared to a control sample. The control group consisted of comparably-aged Cuban immigrants who immigrated to the United States with their families at the same time as the Pedro Pan participants. We hypothesized that, for the Pedro Pan cohort, physical health, mental health, and attachment insecurity would correlate with the adversity of their immigration experience, as quantified through online questionnaires. Questionnaires were divided into three main categories: demographics, Pedro Pan experience, and standardized assessments of attachment style. Results indicated anxious and avoidant attachment styles were associated with poorer mental and physical health outcomes, as well as weaker parental relationships in childhood. Insecure attachment was correlated with younger age of arrival in the United States in the Pedro Pan group, but with older age of immigration in controls, highlighting the effect of parental separation on younger unaccompanied minors.

    Annotated Bibliography Primary Sources Books Castro, Fidel, 1926-2016. Fidel Castro: My Life: A Spoken Autobiography. New York: Scribner, 2008. Fidel Castro discusses in his autobiography how the Pedro Pan children, as were the parents, were always free to leave the country. He describes the delay in parent’s reuniting with their children was due to logistical issues, primarily caused by interference and antagonism from the United States government. Grau, Polita. “Polita Grau: A Woman in Rebellion.” Cuba – The Unfinished Revolution, edited by Enrique Encinoso, Eakin Press, 1988. Polita Grau is the niece of the former president of Cuba, Ramon Grau San Martin (1944-1948). This chapter is a first-hand account of her involvement in Operation Pedro Pan. Polita and her brother established the underground network which disbursed Msgr. Walsh’s visas to the children. She falsified thousands more visa waivers and made arrangements for the plane flights. She was jailed for 20 years for allegedly attempting to overthrow the government. She has been referred to as the “Godmother” of Operation Pedro Pan. Films The Lost Apple. Directed by David Susskind. Paramount, 1963. The United States Information Agency created this documentary to document the mission and legacy of Operation Pedro Pan. The 28-minute film follows the journey of Roberto, a six-year old Pedro Pan child, as he adjusts to his new life at the Florida City Camp. The intent was to show the film at various dioceses throughout the U.S. in hopes of getting more foster families to help relieve the overcrowded conditions at the camps.

  • Cuban Migration: a Postrevolution Exodus Ebbs and Flows
    10/18/2017 Cuban Migration: A Postrevolution Exodus Ebbs and Flows Published on migrationpolicy.org (https://www.migrationpolicy.org) Home > Cuban Migration: A Postrevolution Exodus Ebbs and Flows Cuban Migration: A Postrevolution Exodus Ebbs and Flows JULY 6, 2017 PROFILE By Jorge Duany In 1959, the Cuban Revolution unleashed the largest refugee flow to the United States in history, with approximately 1.4 million people fleeing the island after the toppling of dictator Fulgencio Batista by Fidel Castro’s guerrilla fighters. Since then, Cuba has remained one of the top migrant-sending nations to its northern neighbor, and the Cuban exodus has been oriented primarily toward the mainland United States. In addition, at least 300,000 Cubans have relocated to Spain, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Mexico, and other Latin American and Caribbean countries, as well as Canada and European nations such as Germany, Italy, and France. Cuba was the fifth-largest source of immigrants admitted to the United States for legal permanent residence during 2015 (more than 54,000 persons); just six countries had a larger immigrant population in the United States, with some 1,211,000 U.S. residents born in Cuba—nearly 940,000 of whom now live in Florida. In total, approximately 2 million U.S. residents are natives of Cuba or claim Cuban ancestry. This massive and sustained flow—spawned not only by political and economic conditions in Cuba, but also by U.S. policies that have served as a magnet for this migration—has drawn substantial attention from scholars, journalists, and policymakers, particularly in the context of longstanding Cold War tensions between the two neighbors.
