Cuban American Filmmaker Profiles Fidel Castro For PBS / - CubaNet News - Noticias de Cuba / Cuba News But it is true that there are layers in Cuban migration, and that the later people, the people who have come, particularly the people who came in 1980, in the Mariel boat lift, were from a different class than the people who came earlier. But at the same time, I recognize that there are some truths to the narrative of the Cuban revolution as viewed by the revolutionaries, and that those deserve to be in the show because, unless you include those things, you end up with a partial and unexplainable picture of that revolution.

Cuba The blending of deep Cuban and African roots into jazz has been explored in countless ways by countless American jazz men and women, but is not so often that we get to hear what the Cubans themselves are doing. Cuban expressive culture thus exhibits an irrepressible capacity to borrow, synthesize and transform influences sampled from around the world, with no particular regard for the sanctity of the traditions upon which they freely draw. This is Cuban dance music, tried and true, straight from Havana, and if Miami is tuned out, it is missing out on something the less ideologically challenged in Latin America and Europe already appreciate for its own intrinsic aesthetic merit and expressive verve. www.rootsworld.com /rw/feature/cuba.html   (6519 words)

USATODAY.com - Cracks showing in GOP's Cuban-American base Criticized for returning Cuban refugees to Castro's government last year, the administration has unveiled an anti-Castro strategy that restricts the ability of Cuban-Americans to visit relatives in Cuba and limits spending during family visits.

Former President Clinton deftly courted Cubans by promising to be tough on Castro and signing the 1996 Helms-Burton Act that tightened the U.S. economic embargo against Cuba. www.usatoday.com /news/washington/2004-06-07-cuban-americans_x.htm   (1604 words)

The Big Picture: Cuban Voters in Florida revisited As we have mentioned several times previously, Cuban American voters in Florida continues to be a potential problem for President Bush in the upcoming election. Not in the sense that incumbent won’t garner a majority of Cuban votes cast in Florida; He is presently polling somewhere between 60-65% of Floridian Cuban Americans.

History of Cuban-American Relations Cuba claims it was an accident, while American anti-Cuban groups claim it was a deliberate sinking by Cuban coastguard authorities.

Amazon.com: Life on the Hyphen: The Cuban-American Way: Books: Gustavo Perez Firmat,Gustavo Perez Firmat While acknowledging that a Cuban presence has flourished in the U.S. for more than 400 years, Perez Firmat directs his attention toward what it means to be a Cuban American in the second half of this century, when a recognizable "hyphenated" culture has emerged. From Desi Arnaz, arguably still the most famous Cuban to hit U.S. shores, to current pop star Gloria Estefan, Cuban Americans have had to balance life within two cultures, one representing their past, one their present and future. Perez Firmat (Spanish, Duke Univ.) analyzes Cuban American popular culture as represented in the efforts of writers and entertainers from actor/bandleader Desi Arnaz through singer Gloria Estefan and novelist Oscar Hijuelos. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0292765517?v=glance   (690 words)

The Cuban-American ethnic writers analyzed in the third part of the book ("Encountering Others: Imagined U.S. Cuban Communities") move from a personal autobiography to a collective revision of the past. Alvarez Borland's work provides an excellent foundation for the study of Cuban literature, since it presents a comprehensive history of the development of this literature during the last three decades. www.tau.ac.il /eial/XI_2/rosell.html   (704 words)

Bush over Al Gore by about 4-to-1 in 2000, but Democrats have expressed optimism that they can draw more support in the community through their focus on foreign policy and pocketbook issues such as the economy and health care.
