A comprehensive survey of Cuban-American culture

The Doctors Olson have assembled a thorough but precise history of the Cuban-American culture in America. This well-written history covers the story of the Cuban-American society from the earliest Cuban civilizations to modern times using American, Cuban, and Spanish primary sources. The narrative is detailed without being dry, and the themes are relevant to today's most salient issues. A "must read" for anyone studying Cuban-American ethnicity.

Great Ethnic and Cultural Study

This book details the history of Cuban Americans. It is interesting to read about Cuba's success in their Revolution with Spain during the 1800s. The authors write how Cubans have succeeded in America and the powerful impact they have had on America since the ninteenth century to recent years. This book is well organized and very informative.
