ETHNIC AND RACIAL CONFLICT IN MIAMI SINCE THE CUBAN INFLUX, 1960-1985 (FLORIDA)
- Date Issued:
- 1987
- Summary:
- Miami experienced considerable ethnic and racial tension after the Cuban influx began in 1960. Large numbers of Cuban, and later Haitian immigrants altered the social complexion of the city. During this period of rapid change, the Cuban, Anglo and black communities attempted to improve their standard of living. Economic and political competition created hostility among the ethnic groups. In the twenty-five year period ending in 1985, the groups perceived that the gains of one came at the expense of the others. This attitude spawned ethnic and racial tension that prevented cooperation and adversely affected the social harmony within the city to this day.
