Encyclopedia > Cuban Americans

A Cuban-American is an immigrant to the United States from Cuba.


Before the 1980s, refugees from the Cuba were welcomed into the United States as political refugees. These Cuban immigrants formed the backbone of the anti-Castro movement, particularly in the state of Florida. Some of these include thousands of Chinese Cubans who are anti-Castro (some of them were jailed or killed) and whose businesses were privatized -- as a result, they went out of Cuba to seek good economic fate.
