Engage or Isolate? Twenty years of Cuban Americans' Changing Attitudes towards Cuba-Evidence from the FIU Cuba Poll
This article traces, for the first time, the changes in the opinions of Cuban Americans in South Florida on the topic of U.S./Cuba relations during the last twenty years using the FIU Cuba Poll as the data base. The analysis traces the changes in key variables from 1997 until the most recent poll concluded in August of 2016. These years marked the decades with the most intense migration of Cubans to the United States since the triumph of the Revo…
Exile Politics and R epublican P arty Affiliation
Objectives We test the hypothesis that exile politics—measured by support for anti‐ C astro policies—contribute to the overwhelming preference for the R epublican P arty among S outh F lorida's C uban A mericans. Methods Logistic regression is used to analyze six surveys conducted in S outh F lorida between 1995 and D ecember 2008. Results Among C uban A mericans in M iami‐ D ade C ounty, measures of exile politics account for a recent downward s…
The declining symbolic significance of the embargo for South Florida's Cuban Americans
Structuring Liminality
In this article, we examine the exilic experience of the Cuban-American community in South Florida through the dual concepts of structure and liminality. We postulate that in the case of this exilic diaspora, specific structures arose to render liminality a persistent element of the Cuban-American identity. The liminal, rather than being a temporal transitory stage, becomes an integral part of the group identity. This paper theorizes and recasts …
Insulating an Ideology
Many Cuban Americans embrace a distinctive anti-Castro ideology. Although this ideology supports the embargo against Cuba—purportedly to bring about the Castro regime's compliance or collapse—the real objectives may be more symbolic than practical. Ultimately, the institutional completeness provided by the enclave in South Florida insulates and regenerates this “exile” ideology. The authors hypothesize that if more than one half of an immigrant's…
"The Creation and Maintenance of the Cuban American "Exile Ideology
THE PAST DECADES, Cuban Americans have attracted more than their share of attention from both the press and the scholarly community. Their visibility has exceeded the demographic reality. The slightly more than one million persons of Cuban origin or descent ac count for approximately 5 percent of the Hispanic-origin population of the United States. Demographics aside, however, there are good explanations for the rel atively conspicuous presence o…
This Land Is Our Land
For those opposed to immigration, Miami is a nightmare. Miami is the de facto capital of Latin America; it is a city where immigrants dominate, Spanish is ubiquitous, and Denny's is an ethnic restaurant. Are Miami's immigrants representative of a trend that is undermining American culture and identity? Drawing from in-depth fieldwork in the city and looking closely at recent events such as the Elián González case, This Land Is Our Land examines i…
Local Union Relations with Immigrants
Union Responses to Mass Immigration
This article places the attitudes of US unions toward immigrants within the context of a “globalized” environment and a contested and problematic history of the US labor movement regarding its conflicting tendencies toward international solidarity and nationalism. Following a review of that history, the article examines the relationships of four unions in the heavily immigrant Miami, Florida area with immigrant workers in the past four decades. T…
Comparative Union Responses to Mass Immigration
This article places union relationships with immigrant workers into a globalized and historical context, and utilizes primary data to examine the relationships of four unions in the heavily immigrant Miami, Florida area with immigrant workers in the past four decades. Two are building trades unions with a long exclusionary history and two are industrially organized unions, one in the service sector and one in manufacturing. Varying patterns of re…

Labor Law and Managerial Ideology
This article examines the legal and sociological aspects of worker participation programs. Section 8(a) (2) of the National Labor Relations Act prohibits employers from dominating or interfering with employee organizations, but despite the statutory mandate, some federal courts endorse participative workplace systems as cooperative, nonadversarial, lawful forms of industrial organization. The authors contend that the judicial doctrine may promote…
Inhuman Relations
This vivid expose of the use of Quality Circles by a major company to defeat a union organizing drive dramatically presents a negative view of the highly acclaimed new humanism American management. Guillermo Grenier gives a unique insider's account of Johnson & Johnson's implementation of the workplace reform technique called Quality of Worklife or Quality Circles as a union-busting tactic. He describes this and other methods of controlling worke…
