Are all immigrants from the same home country best understood as a homogeneous group of foreignborn? Or do they differ in their adaptation and transnational ties depending on when they emigrated and with what lived experiences? Between Castros rise to power in 1959 and the early twentyfirst century more than a million Cubans immigrated to the United States. While it is widely known that Cuban migrs have exerted a strong hold on Washington policy toward their homeland, Eckstein uncovers a fascinating paradox: the recent arrivals, although poor and politically weak, have done more to transform their homeland than the influential and prosperous early exiles who have tried for half a century to bring the Castro regime to heel. The impact of the socalled New Cubans is an unintended consequence of the personal ties they maintain with family in Cuba, ties the first arrivals oppose.This historicallygrounded, nuanced book offers a rare indepth analysis of Cuban immigrants social, cultural, economic, and political adaptation, their transformation of Miami into the 'northern most Latin American city,' and their crossborder engagement and homeland impact. Eckstein accordingly provides new insight into the lives of Cuban immigrants, into Cuba in the post Soviet era, and into how Washingtons failed Cuba policy might be improved. She also posits a new theory to deepen the understanding not merely of Cuban but of other immigrant group adaptation.
