Cuban Culture African Influence

Cuban-American culture in Miami.

Cuban storefronts in downtown Miami, 1978.

"Before 1960, the population of Cuban-Americans living in Miami was very small. With the rise of Fidel Castro however, their presence soon came to define that city. By 1980, Cuban exiles made up over half of the population in Miami. In different ways, their community has come to embody the best and the worst of American life.

When the first Cuban exiles arrived, they brought a culture at odds with the provincial, southern residents who lived there previously. They also brought a political radicalism that — for better or worse — has forced a hard line with Cuba ever since.

In the years since, they have built prosperous lives and careers in the United States, and their community is now a permanent fixture."
