Cubans In America: A Vibrant History of a People in Exile
$18.00
This is a solid book. It would give the average non-Cuban American some insight into Cuban culture and influence. It's not the definitive guide. However, it is a starting point. There are many interesting bits of info... such as the Cuban involvement during the American Revolution or the relationship between St. Augustine (first city in North America - founded by the Spaniards) and the Cuban born Spaniards in Cuba. I'd recommend buying this book.

The Cubans of Union City: Immigrants and Exiles in a New Jersey Community

As a result of the conflicts between Cuba and the United States, especially after 1959, Cubans immigrated in great numbers. Most stayed in Miami, but many headed north to Union City, making it second only to Miami in its concentration of Cubans. In The Cubans of Union City, Yolanda Prieto discusses why Cubans were drawn to this particular city and how the local economy and organizations developed. Central aspects of this story are the roles of women, religion, political culture, and the fact of exile itself.? ? As a member of this community and a participant in many of its activities, Prieto speaks with special authority about its demographic uniqueness. Far from being a snapshot of the community, The Cubans of Union City conveys an ongoing research agenda extending over more than twenty years, from 1959 to the 1980s. As a long-term observer who was also a resident, Prieto offers a unique and insightful view of the dynamics of this community¡Çs evolution.

Writing to Cuba Filibustering and Cuban Exiles in the United States.
The book deals with Cuban writers living and writing in the United States starting in the late 1840s and 1850s: Teurbe Tolon, Cirilo Villaverde,Gaspar Betancourt Cisneros, Juan Clemente Zenea, Jose Marti, Pedro Santacilia, etc. They wrote poetry,novels, newspapers articles, and pamphlets,grouped and organized Cuban exiles in the United States and through their writings and actions spread the ideas of anexionism and political independence to Cubans living in the United Staes and Cuba. I have never read a book so well documented dealing with the influence of these men in the destiny of Cuba.
