Cuban Catholics in the United States, 1960-1980: Exile and Integration

Everyday life for Cubans in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s involved an intimate interaction between commitment to an exile identity and reluctant integration into a new society. Drawing on the personal papers of exiles, their books and pamphlets, newspaper articles, government archives, and personal interviews, Cuban Catholics in the United States, 1960-1980 examines the exile and integration process among Catholics. The story is set primarily in south Florida, but also includes voices of others in the United States, Latin America, and Europe. This examination of Catholics uncovers major themes that preoccupied Cubans during their first twenty years in exile.
