Book Description
Social science scholars agree that Cuban Americans in Miami-Dade, Florida are politically incorporated because they have achieved electoral and economic success (Warren, 1997). This community is considered a "Model Minority," one that other minorities that are striving for political and economic success should emulate. However, studies indicate that internal divisions may cause disagreements and conflict rather than political incorporation for community. The purpose of this study is to provide an account of the internal politics of the Cuban American community in south Florida and explain the divergent policy objectives of certain individuals and organizations regarding language policy. Browning, Marshall, and Tabb measure political incorporation as a function of the relative number of elected officials from the Cuban American community, civic organizational involvement in the political process, and whether they took part in a coalition. While these factors are significant in determining a group's level of political incorporation, we demonstrate that political consciousness and mobilization must occur on two fronts. Support for individual candidates and consciousness and mobilization around particular issues are conditions that must be satisfied. We also demonstrated that symbolic reassurance was a major factor in shaping the political behavior of Cuban Americans. By providing symbolic reassurance to the Cuban American masses, Cuban American elites were able to gain tangible benefits without losing support within the community. While the electoral strategies of Cuban American elites were not compromised by the tactics of non-mobilization that were employed regarding language policy, we can conclude that Cuban Americans, as a community, were not politically incorporated into the political system in Miami-Dade. There was no significant political mobilization around the issue of language policy in the 1980s; political mobilization did not occur because political consciousness had not been developed in regard to this issue and because community leaders provided symbolic reassurance to the Cuban American masses. I examine divisions based on race, gender, age, exile status, partisanship, and socio-economic status using a multi-method approach of focus groups, a mass survey and face-to-face interviews. This study makes a valuable contribution to the fields of Latino and racial politics.

Book Description
The Legacy of Exile , the latest entry in the New Immigrants Series, deals with one of the most visible and political of all U.S. immigrant groups-Cubans. This is a group that was welcomed to the United States, that transformed a major U.S. metropolitan area, that exerts a powerful-and controversial-impact on U.S. foreign policy, and that has achieved, in a relatively short time, economic success in this country. The theme of the book is that the Cuban presence has been shaped by the experience of exile. In understanding the case of the Cuban immigration to the United States, students will gain insight into the dynamics of U.S. immigration policy; the differences between immigrants and exiles; interethnic relations among newcomers and established residents; and the economic development of immigrant communities. Cuban immigrants provide a surprising and compelling case study of the relatively successful adaptation of an immigrant community. The book presents the long tradition of Cuban immigration to the United States; the elements of Cuban culture which have emerged and reinforced this tradition of migration; the impact that Cubans have had on the Miami area; as well as the changes within the community as Cubans develop into a well established minority group within the United States.
