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. -

INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality o f the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. I f copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. I f necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. -

Lee Harvey Oswald, Life-History, and the Truth of Crime
Ghosts of the Disciplinary Machine: Lee Harvey Oswald, Life-History, and the Truth of Crime Jonathan Simon* It seems to me important, very important, to the record that we face the fact that this man was not only human but a rather ordinary one in many respects, and who appeared ordinary. If we think that this was a man such as we might never meet, a great aberration from the normal, someone who would stand out in a crowd as unusual, then we don't know this man, we have no means of recognizing such a person again in advance of a crime such as he committed. The important thing, I feel, and the only protection we have is to realize how human he was though he added to it this sudden and great violence beyond- Ruth Paine' I.

SONIA SOTOMAYOR, DOCTOR of LAWS Sonia Sotomayor Is The
! 0'(-#!0'/'1#"')7!*',/')!'9!$#@0! ! Sonia Sotomayor is the 111th justice of the United States Supreme Court. She is the first Hispanic and the third of four women to serve the nation’s highest court in its 223-year history. Justice Sotomayor was born to Puerto Rican parents who moved to New York during World War II. Together with her younger brother, she grew up in housing projects in the Bronx and often visited family in Puerto Rico, with whom she maintains close ties. Her father spoke only Spanish, and she did not reach fluency in English until after his death when she was nine. Justice Sotomayor was profoundly influenced by her mother, who instilled in her the value of education and inspired her to declare, at age ten, her interest in attending college and becoming an attorney. She was an avid reader with a love of learning. Diagnosed with Type I diabetes at the age of eight, Justice Sotomayor excelled in school despite the challenges of managing her health. She was valedictorian of her Cardinal Spellman High School class and earned a full scholarship to Princeton University, where she graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1976. At Princeton, she pushed the administration to diversify by introducing classes about Latin America and by hiring Latino faculty. At Yale Law School, Justice Sotomayor was an editor of the Yale Law Journal and managing editor of Yale Studies in World Public Order. After graduating in 1979, she worked in the trial division for Robert Morgenthau, the New York County District Attorney, serving as Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan. -

Rationale for a Culturally Based Program of Actionagainst Foverty Among New York Puertoricans
REPOR TRESUMES ED 011 543 UD 0D3 495 RATIONALE FOR A CULTURALLY BASED PROGRAM OF ACTIONAGAINST FOVERTY AMONG NEW YORK PUERTORICANS. BY- BONILLA, FRANK PUB DATE OCT 64 ECRS PRICE MF-$11.09 HC-$0.96 24P. CESCRIPTORS- *PUERTO.RICAN CULTURE, *POVERTY PROGRAMS, *ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED, *FAMILY RELATIONSHIP,CULTURAL FACTORS, CULTURAL BACKGROUND, SEX DIFFERENCES,LANGUAGE PATTERNS, BILINGUALISM, RACIAL CHARACTERISTICS,RACE RELATIONS, RACIAL ATTITUDES, MUSIC ACTIVITIES, MIGRANT FROELEMS, COMMUNITY PROBLMS, NEW YORK CITY THE WRITER TOOK THE POSITION THAT ANY ACTION PROGRAM TO CHANGE THE FOVERTY CONDITIONS OF NEW YORK CITYPUERTO RICANS SHOULD BE BASED ON KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR CULTURALLIFE. THERE' EXISTS AMONG PUERTO RICANS A SENSE OF ETHNICMENTIFICATION AND UNITY WHICH AFFECTS THEIR BEHAVIOR WITHIN THELARGER COMMUNITY. ONE FACTOR WHICH FIGURES IMPORTANTLY IN NEWYORK CITY PUERTO RICAN CULTURE IS THE PROBLEM OF CULTURAL DUALITIES, WHICH ARE A RESULT OF THE STRESS OF ADAPTATION FROM THE ISLAND TO THE MAINLAND CULTURE. FOR EXAMPLE, ALTHOUGH THE FAMILY RELATIONSHIP STILL IS A STRONGLY EXTENDED NETWORK OF KINSHIP WHICH OFFERS A SENSE OF MUTUALOBLIGATION, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SEXES HAS BECOMEMORE EQUALITARIAN, AND CONFLICT' HAS ARISEN BETWEEN THEELDER'S CULTURALLY ROOTED BELIEF IN HIS OWN SELF-WORTH, DESPITE HIS REALISTIC AWARENESS OF HIS DISADVANTAGED POSITION, ANC THE ADOLESCENT'S FEELING OF POWER IN THE FAMILY BECAUSE OF HIS BETTER EDUCATION. AN ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE PUERTO RICAN'S BEHAVIOR, ESPECIALLY IN HIS FEELINGS ABOUT DISCRIMINATION, IS HIS COMPLEX RACIAL ATTITUDE. IF PUERTO RICANS CAN BE MADE TO FEEL THAT THEIR CULTURE IS RECOGNIZED ANC AFFIRMED, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE IMPORTANT LEADERSHIP TO BRING ABOUT THE NECESSARY CHANGES TO REMOVE THE EFFECTS OF POVERTY IN THEIR COMMUNITY. -

But nowhere is it more important than in the judiciary, the branch of government charged with safeguarding our country’s constitutional democracy and dispensing justice to its citizenry.

If we are to successfully encourage the public to entrust disputes to our courts, we must endeavor to close the confidence gap -
Cuban Exile History, Marielito 'Deviance,' and Cecilia Rodriguez Milanes’ Marielitos, Balseros and Other Exiles
CUBAN EXILE HISTORY, MARIELITO 'DEVIANCE,' AND CECILIA RODRIGUEZ MILANES’ MARIELITOS, BALSEROS AND OTHER EXILES By ALEXA KATHLEEN PEREZ 1 There exists scholarship which explores the differential treatment of migrant groups within U.S. immigration policy based on political, legal, social, and economic dimensions. However, there exists only limited scholarship on the differential treatment of the different waves within migrant groups, such as for instance, the differential treatment within Cuban migrant groups. Cuban immigration to the United States has been a long, reoccurring phenomenon due to the island’s geographical proximity and the political, social and economic relationship between the two nations. The United States experienced mass migrations from Cuba after the success of Castro’s revolution in 1959which caused disillusion, social unrest and opposition among many Cuban citizens, especially after Castro announced that his government would be communist. In the midst of the Cold War, the first wave of Cuban immigrants to arrive to the United States, were considered “Golden Exiles,” welcomed, and granted refugee status on the presumption that they were “fleeing communist oppression.” The second wave of Cuban immigrants that arrived in the United States during the 1970’s received similar welcoming treatment and were likewise granted refugee status. However, the wave of Cubans popularly called Marielitos who came to the U.S. in 1980, were not welcomed warmly and were labeled as “entrants” instead of refugees. This anomalous legal status of “entrants,” placed Marielitos in a sort of legal limbo; they were no longer considered Cuban citizens yet, were not considered potential American citizens either. In an attempt to justify their rejection of this exile population, the U.S.
