In the period between independence (I902) and revolution (I959), immigrant workers were a vital force in Cuba's sugar and tropical fruit industries. The largest single group came from Spain (especially the northern provinces of Galicia and Asturias) and from the Canary Islands. But land shortages and the fragility of the sugar industry, which made life difficult for postemancipation rural folk in several nearby island societies, also created circumstances that induced emigration to Cuba from the rest of the black Caribbean. The boom in Cuba's sugar industry, driven by rising prices and increases in United States investment during World War I, as well as by stories of fabulous wages, attracted immigrants from Haiti, Jamaica, Barbados, Grenada, Puerto Rico, Aruba, and Cura,ao. By the early I930S there were between I50,000 and 200,000 Caribbean immigrants (antillanos) in Cuba.1
