Date Issued:

Summary:
This study focuses on occupational identity of Cuban exile fishermen in Dade County, Florida, and the strength of this identity when faced with the Bahamian fishing conflict (1973-1975). It was hypothesized that this identity would become stronger because of this conflict. Other hypotheses predicted differences between perceived and actual fishing legislation in the United States, pre-revolutionary and revolutionary Cuba. The same comparison was made with occupational status. Subjective data was obtained from a questionnaire administered to fifty fishermen. Strength of occupational identity was not as strong as expected. Subjective views on fishing legislation and status did show a discrepancy with objective data. A number of fishermen conformed to all hypotheses, and further analyses attempt to explain the stronger occupational identity of this group.
