    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.

    Bush Passes on Cuban Exiles' Right a D V E R T I S E M E N T He Panders to a Narrow, Reactionary Slice of a Politically Diverse Community

    http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-op-bardach26oct26,1,3426430.story POLITICS Bush Passes on Cuban Exiles' Right a d v e r t i s e m e n t He panders to a narrow, reactionary slice of a politically diverse community. By Ann Louise Bardach Ann Louise Bardach writes for Newsweek International and is a commentator on the Public Radio program "Marketplace." She is the author of "Cuba Confidential: Love and Vengeance in Miami and Havana." October 26, 2003 Earlier this month, President Bush gathered 100 Cuban Americans in the White House Rose Garden to outline his new Cuba policy. Sprinkling his speech with a few words of well-rehearsed Spanish, the president announced a new commission, co-chaired by Secretary of State Colin Powell and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Mel Martinez. Its mission: to draw up a transition-to-freedom plan for a post-Castro Cuba and to "identify ways to hasten the arrival of that day." But judging from the reception of the president's speech — most notably within the Miami exile community — Operation Cuba could be as controversial as Operation Iraqi Freedom. The cornerstone of the president's initiative is to aggressively criminalize travel to Cuba by asking the Department of Homeland Security to identify and punish those who visit Cuba in violation of U.S. laws, whether they travel from the United States or via a third country. The president also vowed to crack down on people sending money to Cuba. What this policy fails to take into account is that it is Cuban Americans who will be most penalized by the crackdown.

  • Rethinking US-Cuba Policy

    Rethinking US-Cuba Policy

    A TIME FOR CHANGE Rethinking US-Cuba Policy Lilah Rosenblum WASHINGTON OFFICE ON LATIN AMERICA MAY 2002 Washington Office on Latin America The Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) promotes human rights, democracy and social and economic justice in Latin America and the Caribbean. WOLA facilitates dialogue between governmental and non-governmental actors, monitors the impact of policies and programs of governments and international organizations, and promotes alternatives through reporting, education, training and advocacy. Founded in 1974 by a coalition of religious and civic leaders, WOLA works closely with civil society organizations and government officials throughout the hemisphere. In our view, U.S. policy toward Cuba has not been formulated on the basis of sound judgments about strategies that will best promote human rights and social justice on the island, but on the basis of outdated Cold War ideology and special interest group politics. We believe that the embargo hurts domestic U.S. economic and political interests without bringing us any foreign policy benefits. We believe that engagement with Cuba is a more sensible, effective, and humane strategy for promoting human rights and social justice there. Engagement would also be economically beneficial to the United States. This booklet presents a critique of current policy and suggests policy alternatives. ISBN# 0-929513-47-9 (c) Washington Office on Latin America May 2002 Copies of this publication can be obtained from WOLA for $5.00 plus $1.75 shipping and handling for the first copy and $3.00 for each additional copy.

Centre for Cultural Policy Research School of Culture and Creative Arts University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8QQ June 2011 © Christine Lohmeier, 2011 Abstract This thesis examines an exile community‘s relation to media. In particular, it focuses on the case of the Cuban-American community and English- as well as Spanish-language media based in Miami, FL. Following the revolution under Fidel Castro in 1959, Miami developed into the capital of the Cuban exile. Over the past decades, the Cuban-American community formed a nucleus which attracted further migration from South America and the Caribbean. The incoming migrants contributed to turning Miami into a flourishing economic urban space.
