A whole generation of Cuban Americans has grown to adulthood in the United States. The "Golden Exiles" who escaped Fidel Castro's government between 1959 and 1962 were probably the best-educated and wealthiest large group of immigrants ever to arrive in the United States. They quickly established a powerful political and economic community, one that embraces the Cuban exiles who continue to arrive in the United States today.
Many Cubans left their homeland as children and have assimilated into American life. Others yearn to return to Cuba. These stories-full of longing and hope-areat the heart of this book. Interviews, excerpts from diaries and letters, newspaper accounts, profiles of famous Cuban Americans, and remarkable pictures from real family albums tell a poignant yet exuberant story of a beautiful blending of Cuban and American traditions.
