The
Cuban Rafter Phenomenon: A Unique Sea Exodus
Curated
by Holly Ackerman, Social Sciences and International Studies Librarian.
Designed by Ray Uzwyshyn, Web Services Librarian, University of
Miami Libraries.
In this
digital archive you can explore the experiences of tens of thousands
of citizens who have left Cuba in small boats, homemade rafts and
other unusual craft. Currently the site focuses on those who precipitated
and participated in one specific sea exodus – the raft crisis
of 1994. Through photos, videos, bibliography, primary documents
and narratives the site examines the 1994 crisis and, by extension,
begins to investigate the nature of the larger theme of post-1980
Cuban migration. Over time, the site will grow to include many aspects
and incidents in post-1980 migration including the Mariel boatlift,
visa lottery and internal population shifts in Cuba. |

El
Negrito was intended to be a periodical publication, but only
one issue was produced on March 28, 1821. The Cuban Heritage Collection
