Informationen zum Autor Gerald E. Poyo is professor of history at St. Mary's University. He is the author and editor of a number of books, including With All, and for the Good of All and Presente! U.S. Latino Catholics from Colonial Times to the Present. Klappentext Through personal papers of Cuban exiles, their books and pamphlets, newspaper articles, government archives, and personal interviews, Poyo reveals the identity of this faith-based community in exile. Zusammenfassung In the 1960s and 1970s, catholicism offered Cuban exiles in US continuity: a community of faith, a place to gather, a sense of legitimacy as a people. Religion exerted a major influence on the beliefs and actions of Cuban exiles. This work provides insights for this community, and for other faith-based exile communities.
