For over half a century the US granted Cubans, one of the largest
immigrant groups in the country, unique entitlements. While other
unauthorized immigrants faced detention, deportation, and no legal
rights, Cuban immigrants were able to enter the country without
authorization, and have access to welfare benefits and citizenship
status. This book is the first to reveal the full range of
entitlements granted to Cubans. Initially privileged to undermine
the Castro-led revolution in the throes of the Cold War, one US
President after another extended new entitlements, even in the
post-Cold War era. Drawing on unseen archives, interviews, and
survey data, Cuban Privilege highlights how Washington, in the
process of privileging Cubans, transformed them from agents of US
Cold War foreign policy into a politically powerful force
influencing national policy. Comparing the exclusionary treatment
of neighboring Haitians, the book discloses the racial and
political biases embedded within US immigration policy.
