This paper represents the collaborative work of a game theorist and
a policy analyst in an attempt to examine severa! questions that go
to the hearl of the way individuala achieve social order. The
capacity of any individual to undertake long-term, productive
activities that affect and are affected by the actiona of other
individuala dependa upon gaining a minimallevel of predictability
among those involved. No one could successfully drive to work if
the behavior of other drivera were noi relatively predictable. No
one could operate a stare, if potential consumers did not purcha.
se, rather than stea!, the commodities offered to the public. No
one would ma. ke a. ny investments other than those tha. t would be
made by a solitary individual in an isolated setting (the cla. ssic
Robinson Crusoe situation). One of the ways that individuals
achieve predictability in social arrangements is to a. gree to
follow a set of normative prescriptions a. bout what they must,
must not, or may do. Agreeing to a set of prescriptions is
relatively easy. Actually following those prescriptions over time
when temptations arise offering potentially high payoffs, is not at
all easy. In natural settings, individUala follow agreed upon
prescriptions to a greater or lesser extent depending on
enforcement levels. A frequent assumption made by policy ana. lysts
a. nd game theorists is tha. t enforcement is externa! to the
situa. tion under analysis. That a.

Among the nearly 90,000 Cubans who settled in New York City and
Miami in the 1940s and 1950s were numerous musicians and
entertainers, black and white, who did more than fill dance halls
with the rhythms of the rumba, mambo, and cha cha cha. In her
history of music and race in midcentury America, Christina D. Abreu
argues that these musicians, through their work in music festivals,
nightclubs, social clubs, and television and film productions,
played central roles in the development of Cuban, Afro-Cuban,
Latino, and Afro-Latino identities and communities. Abreu draws
from previously untapped oral histories, cultural materials, and
Spanish-language media to uncover the lives and broader social and
cultural significance of these vibrant performers. Keeping in view
the wider context of the domestic and international entertainment
industries, Abreu underscores how the racially diverse musicians in
her study were also migrants and laborers. Her focus on the Cuban
presence in New York City and Miami before the Cuban Revolution of
1959 offers a much needed critique of the post-1959 bias in Cuban
American studies as well as insights into important connections
between Cuban migration and other twentieth-century Latino
migrations.
