Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Illuminating and relevant. . . . benchmark data and, most importantly, interpretations and inferences from the data and literature on the roles of the mass media among Cubans."--Timothy P. Meyer, University of Wisconsin, Green Bay "Breaks new ground. . . . focuses on an important group within the general Hispanic community, highlighting how the social, political, and economic forces affect the mass media which serve it."--Rodolfo Cortina, Florida International University After 30 years of exile in south Florida, many Cubans have begun to accept the possibility that they will never return home. Their children and grandchildren have adapted to the American way of life and have begun the process of assimilation. Gonzalo Soruco looks at how these exiles--nearly half a million since 1959--and their offspring use the mass media in the greater Miami area. For the most part Cuban exiles are not like other Hispanic immigrants; they are older, more affluent, and better educated. They are part of a powerful conservative political machine and an extensive social network. And they are passionate about their anti-Castro cause. Almost inevitably in this climate, leaders of the Cuban community have taken issue with the Miami Herald's reportorial philosophy and its coverage of Cubans. As the Herald's traditional Anglo readers moved out of Dade County, the paper was shaken into action: it hired Spanish-speaking journalists, promoted Hispanic reporters into the paper's management, started a Spanish-language newspaper, and took a turn to the ideological right. Soruco analyzes these events and discovers that--contrary to accusations in the media--Cubans do not think that the English-language media are instruments of either right- or left-wing propaganda. He also discusses the Cuban relationship with radio and television. As public debate continues about the Americanization of Cubans, particularly with regard to bilingual education, this work will find a wide audience. It will be especially useful to television advertisers, market researchers, people in the print media in south Florida, and those enterprises interested in Cubans as a business bridge to Latin America. Gonzalo R. Soruco is associate professor of communication at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida. He is the author of articles in Market Research, Marketing Review, Opinion, Encounter, and other journals.
Download or read book A Model Minority written by Jessica L. Pérez Monforti and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social science scholars agree that Cuban Americans in Miami-Dade, Florida are politically incorporated because they have achieved electoral and economic success (Warren, 1997). This community is considered a "Model Minority," one that other minorities that are striving for political and economic success should emulate. However, studies indicate that internal divisions may cause disagreements and conflict rather than political incorporation for community. The purpose of this study is to provide an account of the internal politics of the Cuban American community in south Florida and explain the divergent policy objectives of certain individuals and organizations regarding language policy. Browning, Marshall, and Tabb measure political incorporation as a function of the relative number of elected officials from the Cuban American community, civic organizational involvement in the political process, and whether they took part in a coalition. While these factors are significant in determining a group's level of political incorporation, we demonstrate that political consciousness and mobilization must occur on two fronts. Support for individual candidates and consciousness and mobilization around particular issues are conditions that must be satisfied. We also demonstrated that symbolic reassurance was a major factor in shaping the political behavior of Cuban Americans. By providing symbolic reassurance to the Cuban American masses, Cuban American elites were able to gain tangible benefits without losing support within the community. While the electoral strategies of Cuban American elites were not compromised by the tactics of non-mobilization that were employed regarding language policy, we can conclude that Cuban Americans, as a community, were not politically incorporated into the political system in Miami-Dade. There was no significant political mobilization around the issue of language policy in the 1980s; political mobilization did not occur because political consciousness had not been developed in regard to this issue and because community leaders provided symbolic reassurance to the Cuban American masses. I examine divisions based on race, gender, age, exile status, partisanship, and socio-economic status using a multi-method approach of focus groups, a mass survey and face-to-face interviews. This study makes a valuable contribution to the fields of Latino and racial politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last quarter century, no other city like Miami has rapidly transformed into a global city. The Global Edge charts the social tensions and unexpected consequences of this remarkable process of change. Acting as a follow-up to the highly successful City on the Edge, The Global Edge examines Miami in the context of globalization and scrutinizes its newfound place as a major international city. Written by two well-known scholars in the field, the book examines Miami’s rise as a finance and banking center and the simultaneous emergence of a highly diverse but contentious ethnic mosaic. The Global Edge serves as a case study of Miami’s present cultural, economic, and political transformation, and describes how its future course can provide key lessons for other metropolitan areas throughout the world.
Download or read book Miami s Forgotten Cubans written by Alan A. Aja and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the reception experiences of post-1958 Afro-Cubans in South Florida in relation to their similarly situated “white” Cuban compatriots. Utilizing interviews, ethnographic observations, and applying Census data analyses, Aja begins not with the more socially diverse 1980 Mariel boatlift, but earlier, documenting that a small number of middle-class Afro-Cuban exiles defied predominant settlement patterns in the 1960 and 70s, attempting to immerse themselves in the newly formed but ultimately racially exclusive “ethnic enclave.” Confronting a local Miami Cuban “white wall” and anti-black Southern racism subsumed within an intra-group “success” myth that equally holds Cubans and other Latin Americans hail from “racial democracies,” black Cubans immigrants and their children, including subsequent waves of arrival and return-migrants, found themselves negotiating the boundaries of being both “black” and “Latino” in the United States.
Download or read book Havana USA written by Maria Cristina Garcia and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1996-02-29 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since Fidel Castro came to power, the migration of close to one million Cubans to the United States continues to remain one of the most fascinating, unusual, and controversial movements in American history. María Cristina García—a Cuban refugee raised in Miami—has experienced firsthand many of the developments she describes, and has written the most comprehensive and revealing account of the postrevolutionary Cuban migration to date. García deftly navigates the dichotomies and similarities between cultures and among generations. Her exploration of the complicated realm of Cuban American identity sets a new standard in social and cultural history.
