Similarities Between Cuba And Miami
Miami has very long and unique history making itself different from other cities. What makes Miami different from other cities is the profound affect the Cuban and Haitians immigrants had in that current time and forward. How major events like the Cold War (1947-1991) which was over the struggle of capitalism vs. communism affected the growth of Cubans and held back the Haitians in Miami. Events like these cause the Cuban people to advance while on contrast barely help the Haitians. Cubans have advance more politically than Haitians because of the “Golden Exiles” arrival, government funding, and dominating the republic party.
Cubans have always had head start in their new life in Miami perhaps not in purpose but it did succeed. Cuba and Miami

    Introduction Composing part of the Greater Antilles, the island of Hispaniola is inhabited by the nation of Haiti, occupying the western third of the region, and the Dominican Republic, encompassing the remaining two-thirds of land to the east. Geographically speaking, Haiti and the Dominican Republic are nearly identical with very little variation in average rainfall, climate, and oceanic access. Unsurprisingly, given their adjacency, both countries possess a high degree of ethnolinguistic homogeneity, with very little regional fragmentation, and Christianity as the dominant religion (Jaramillo and Sancak 328). Despite their immutable similarities and ethnolinguistic parallels, Haiti and the Dominican Republic now represent opposite ends of…

    This paper discusses the similarities that women face in both Cuba and the United States. Although the countries’ political structures are different, be it democratic and communism, both Cuban and American women have been fighting towards total gender equality. Thus, patriarchy is the common factor in both countries and limits women in political representation and the work force, while in turn limiting men themselves in having a role in the “home life”. There is a stigma that resides in the minds of the citizens of democratic countries that communist regimes are vastly different in terms gender equality; perhaps it is the prejudices that date back to World War II and the Cold War. Just like America, other countries face gender inequalities…

    "Miami no es los Estados Unidos" (Miami is not the United States) is a phrase that I heard many times while growing up in Miami. It is problematic, because at its core lies the idea that a city that is teeming with Latinx/Hispanic immigrants could not be representative of what the United States "really" is. An idea that is pervasive but that unnecessarily emphasizes the vibrant culture of Miami, and underplays the socioeconomic inequality that exists in many other cities. As an immigrant I have grown up as a part of communities that are often considered under-served, and that consistently struggled financially. Something that I was aware of from a young age, and that truly shaped the way I looked at my future. With every time that my mom woke…

    Miami, FL is a place that has to be felt rather than seen or heard—and by that I mean observed beyond all senses, with mind, body, heart, and soul. I’ve been entrenched in it my whole life, a little Cuban princesita not so different from all the rest, but it’s only as I’ve gotten older that I’ve fully felt like a part of a community, a culture. I feel it when I talk, casually, to the elderly cashier at my neighborhood grocery store, a familiar combination of Spanish, English, and what many call cubanismos, phrases with meanings that simply will not tolerate literal translations, spilling forth. I feel it while seated at a table of no fewer than four relatives on any given evening, judging the quality of a restaurant on the quality of their flan de caramelo or their café. I feel it, too, in the colorful songs of Ernesto Lecuona and the ardent verses of José Marti, but most of all in the anecdotes of my grandparents and great aunt, the nostalgia of long-settled immigrants, echoes of sorrow, shared over dominoes and rice and beans and coladas of espresso.…

    But the US welcome changed almost overnight with the 1980 Mariel boat wave, which brought poorer and darker skinned Cubans to Florida. They were not the elite anymore, they were the poor and even criminals that Castro was trying to get rid of. They “confronted a nativist backlash among white Americans and burgeoning class and racial conflicts within their own refugee community” (Gonzalez, 109) which made…

    Spanish Florida was a colonial territory of Spain on the 16th through to the 18th century. However, in this whole period the Spanish government did not have full control over this territory [ CITATION Cha14 l 1033 ]. Economic, social, and military aspects of the colony were not in good shape over the period that the Spanish government was in power. In 1763, Spanish government gave up the territory to the British in exchange for the Havana. After two decades, she came back. However, she was unable to do away all the misfortunes that had befallen her in the first period. The United States eventually took possession of the region after a half a century of reign (Mathers, Mitchem, & Haecker, 2013.). This series of nonperformance by the Spanish government in the region, therefore, defines the failure referred to by the author of this article.…

    Cuban Migration

    • 946 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The first wave of migration started in 1959 when Fidel Castro took reign of the Cuban government by defeating Dictator General Fulgencio Batista. Many wealthy and educated white upper and middle class Cubans who were followers of the previous dictator General Fulgencio Batista feared that the sudden change in power would hurt them, so they started leaving Cuba and made their way towards the United States. This wave of the migration which lasted for 3 years, had approximately 250,000 Cuban immigrants leave Cuba for the United States. Many Cubans “temporarily” came to the United States during the first wave because they had a strong feeling that they would return to Cuba as soon as the United States intervened and removed Castro out of his powers. This particular wave of migration distinguished itself from others because many of the Cubans in the United States considered themselves to be “political exiles” rather than immigrants.…

    The Commonwealth of The Bahamas and The Republic of Haiti are two very close Caribbean islands. However their relationship throughout the ages has been a challenging one. In the 18th century, due to economic factors, many Haitian slaves and slave owners moved over to The Bahamas (Fielding, Balance, Scriven, McDonald, & Johnson, 2008). This type of immigration remained constant throughout the 19th and 20th century (Fielding et. al., 2008). However, in the 1950’s the two countries experienced major economic changes: The Bahamas good (flourishing of tourism industry) and Haiti bad (Leadership by the Duvalier Dictator). From the 1950’s until present times countless numbers of Haitians flock to The Bahamas for a better life for them and their children. The events of this era set an everlasting tone for the relationship between the two countries. Over the decades the increase Haitian population in The Bahamas has created what is known as “The Haitian Problem”: a large population of illegal immigrants, who are said to stress out the Bahamian economic system (McWeeney, 1994).…
