Description: "Cuban Miami is the first analytical, photographic record of Cuban migration to the city. 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 investigation of Cuban-U.S. history, the authors touch upon all aspects of Cuban influence: politics, cuisine, music, religion, and everyday life.

The authors also remind us that, while Cuban 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 and political toll."--BOOK JACKET.
