The Florida Newspaper Project Exile literature is usually identified as individual phenomenon, and few scholarly investigations pursue the phenomena of popular literature within exile communities. Exile newspapers, although not independently discussed in the research on the broader topic of exile literature, have many of the same characteristics and profound role in the life of an exile community. The Cuban exile newspaper collection at the Universitry of Miami is an excellent example of the role these important materials have in keeping a sense of shared community and culture within the exile population. www.uflib.ufl.edu /flnews/cuban.html   (1185 words)

Cuban cinema in exile by Ana M. López The exile of Cuban filmmakers must be traced back to Cuba itself and to specific events in the island that provoked it. In fact, their films often participate in what may be called a "Cuban" political culture or political imaginary that exceeds the geographical boundaries of the island-nation and that have been a constant feature of Cuban political life at least since the 1890s. For the exiles as well as for those in the island (as demonstrated by the recent Ochoa case, where high-ranking officers were accused of drug trafficking), politics requires unconditional personal loyalty, and any wavering or political difference constitutes betrayal. www.ejumpcut.org /archive/onlinessays/JC38folder/ExileCubanCinema.html   (4619 words)

Cuban exile leaders lost Elian gamble   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Cuban exile leaders in South Florida gambled that they could use Elian Gonzalez's sad plight to rally support for their flagging campaign to oust Fidel Castro. For much of the past 40 years, the racial divide between Cuban exiles in South Florida, who are more than 95 percent white, and the Afro-Cuban majority left behind on the island has been a little-reported subplot of this long-running political standoff. Now exile leaders are scrambling to recast their badly sullied image - and reclaim the leverage they once had to affect this country's policies toward Castro's government. www.usatoday.com /news/opinion/columnists/wickham/wick114.htm   (746 words)

The coalition also is calling on the Cuban government to make it easier for Cubans to visit family members abroad and to reduce the costs of obtaining permission to leave the country. deseretnews.com /dn/view/0,1249,650212693,00.html   (439 words)

Cuban exile The Cuban "exiles" which have existed since the triumph of the revolution in 1959, have always been, as they are quick to point out victims of the Castro regime. This first wave and their spawn are the dominant group in the "exile" community; they are the top dogs, they are the ones that unfortunately set U.S. policy against Cuba; and govern with an iron fist the exile community. Week after week the con artists of the exile take them for every penny they have, with the usual line that the day is finally coming, that Cuba will once again be according to their definition "free". cubasocialista.com /exile2.htm   (2043 words)

Cuban Exile Whisked Away After His Arrest Cuban exile militant Luis Posada Carriles was arrested by federal agents, then taken away by helicopter. Cuban exile militant Luis Posada Carriles, accused of terrorism, briefly came out of hiding Tuesday before he was arrested by federal immigration authorities and whisked away in a Homeland Security helicopter. Posada, who has been linked to the 1976 bombing of a Cuban jetliner and to a 1997 series of bombings at tourist hotels in Havana, was arrested in Miami-Dade on the same day Cuban President Fidel Castro mounted a massive march in Havana to accuse U.S. leaders of hypocrisy for sheltering the accused bomber. www.banderasnews.com /0505/nw-posada.htm   (1447 words)

Cuban exile "invaders" held in Havana - sisters / Reuters - Cuba News / Noticias - CubaNet News Their testimony was the only first-hand confirmation so far from inside Cuba that the two men, known to be fierce opponents in exile of President Fidel Castro's communist government, were captured by government forces after a manhunt last month in western Pinar del Rio province. It was unclear what the two elderly exiles hoped to achieve with their clandestine operation. Elizardo Sanchez, who heads the Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National Reconciliation, a nongovernmental organisation that monitors human rights in Cuba, said he considered the two to be political prisoners and would arrange for lawyers to defend them. www.cubanet.org /CNews/y98/jun98/18e6.htm   (700 words)

Bay of Pigs Invasion. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 On Apr. 17, 1961, an armed force of about 1,500 Cuban exiles landed in the Bahía de Cochinos (Bay of Pigs) on the south coast of Cuba. The Cuban army easily defeated the rebels and by Apr. 20, most were either killed or captured. Cuban exile leader José Miró Cardona, president of the U.S.-based National Revolutionary Council, blamed the failure on the CIA and the refusal of Kennedy to authorize air cover for the invasion force, but perhaps more crucial was the fact that the uprising the exiles hoped and needed to spark did not happened. www.bartleby.com /65/ba/BayPigsI.html   (281 words)

What the Cuban Exile Represents in the Fight Against the Castro Tyranny If one anlayzes carefully the participation of the Cuban exile in all the efforts to restore the liberty of their homeland, it is clear that, in spite of human imperfections, it is very significant. The Cubans rally on patriotic anniversaries, some of considerable and others of lesser importance, but they get together and hold functions in which they express their unyielllding determination to remember their fatherland and to do whatever they can to fight against the tyranny that holds it in bondage. Were it not for these permanent activities of the Cubans in different cities all over the world, Castro would have consolidated his fierce tyranny very comfortably and those who in the world openly or covertly advocate communism would be protecting his tyranny even more comfortably. www.nocastro.com /archives/exilesrepresnet.htm   (537 words)

Cuban Exile Could Test U.S. Definition of Terrorist - New York Times Posada, a Cuban exile, has long been a symbol for the armed anti-Castro movement in the United States.

Posada's protest that the case was a sting set up by the Cuban spy service, he received an eight-year sentence in April 2004 for endangering public safety. www.nytimes.com /2005/05/09/national/09exile.html?ei=5088&en=396b140db7be1a5d&ex=1273291200&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss&pagewanted=all   (1747 words)

fronline: saving elian: analyses: the cuban exile community's power I must confess that I do not believe very much whenever these Cuban exiles talk about freedom in Cuba or anywhere else, because they have used their power in Miami to accomplish everything except freedom for everybody in Miami. Another interpretation is that the exiles have provoked the Cuban government into throwing the wrench, such as with the Brothers To The Rescue flight. I think the Cuban exiles have had a lot of influence on US policy towards Cuba in the past, because nobody cares in the US; nobody has Cuba on their radar screen. www.pbs.org /wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/elian/views/exilesclout.html   (1341 words)

Cuban exile wants court proceedings moved to Fla. - The Boston Globe EL PASO -- The lawyer for a Cuban exile accused of planning the deadly bombing of a Cuban airliner in 1976 argued yesterday that his client never gave up his US residency, and asked that court proceedings on immigration charges be moved to Florida. A staunch foe of Fidel Castro, Posada is not charged with a crime in the United States but could be deported, especially with the Bush administration holding other governments to strict account for harboring terrorists. Posada, 77, was twice acquitted in Venezuela of charges related to the bombing that killed 73 people when the Cuban airliner crashed off the coast of Barbados. www.boston.com /news/nation/articles/2005/06/14/cuban_exile_wants_court_proceedings_moved_to_fla?mode=PF   (529 words)

Cuban exile says guns in his house were to depose Castro Cuban exile says guns in his house were to depose Castro A Cuban exile arrested for stashing more than 1,000 guns in his suburban Upland, Calif., home told federal authorities the weapons were for a quasi-military group bent on overthrowing communist dictator Fidel Castro, but officials said that may be a cover story for his fl-market gun ring. Ferro said the group, made up of fellow Cuban exiles, paid for the guns and had other caches of weapons, according to the court document. www.azcentral.com /arizonarepublic/news/articles/0420guns0420.html   (206 words)

During the time that Posada was on the CIA payroll in the mid-1960s, he participated in a number of plots that involved sabotage and explosives.

Exile and Imagination: A Tribute to Celia Cruz By Rosana Cruz | Hip Mama But exile is exile, and there was not a day that we were not reminded that Miami was not Cuba, our true home. Because we lived away from the majority of Cuban exiles, who had taken over places like Hialeah and La Souwesera (Southwest Miami), our network was small but vital. Celia is so much about the irony of Cuban exile: because Cuba is a place we have limited access to, it is a place that mostly exists inside of us. www.hipmama.com /node/view/2891   (1456 words)

U.S. Asylum Sought by Cuban Tied to Terror Cases (washingtonpost.com) Luis Posada Carriles, a CIA-trained Cuban exile implicated in a series of terrorist incidents, applied for political asylum in the United States yesterday, prompting at least one congressman to assert that granting the request would undermine the nation's credibility in the war on terrorism. Now 77, Posada is a hero among some Cuban exiles for his fervent, four-decade effort to topple and kill Cuban President Fidel Castro. Afterward, he was implicated in the Cuban hotel bombings and the plot to kill Castro in Panama. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/articles/A47870-2005Apr12.html   (790 words)

Cuba-Junky | Exiles In the years after the Revolution, many anti-Castro exiles worked with the CIA or alone to bring about their return to power. Most are extremely right wing and probably would not be willing to pay for the continued existence of the social progress made by the Revolution, should they take power. Most Cubans believe that these wealthy citizens will continue to provide them with free education, health care, housing and other essential needs. www.cuba-junky.com /cuba/exiles.html   (456 words)
