Book Synopsis Fleeing Castro by : Victor Andres Triay
Download or read book Fleeing Castro written by Victor Andres Triay and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first complete and comprehensive work on these important, unique programs. . . . An interesting, humane, yet tragic component of the post-1959 Cuban experience and the Cold War in general."--Antonio Benitez-Rojo, Amherst College "The ordeal began [for the children] when their parents told them they had to travel alone and that they had to keep the upcoming trip a secret. The most powerful parts of the book are their accounts. . . . Through interviews with many of the participants—the children and their parents, the coordinators of the airlift, those in the underground in Cuba and the Catholic sponsors in the United States—Triay attempts to answer many of the questions the exodus raised."--Miami Herald A stirring account of the covert effort to smuggle Cuban children into the United States in the aftermath of Fidel Castro's rise to power, Fleeing Castro brings to light the humanitarian program designed to care for the children once they arrived and the hardship and suffering endured by the families who took part in Operation Pedro Pan. From late 1960 until the October 1962 missile crisis, 14,048 unaccompanied Cuban children left their homeland, the small island suddenly at the center of the Cold War struggle. Their parents, unable to obtain visas to leave Cuba, believed a short separation would be preferable to subjecting their offspring to Castro's totalitarian Marxist state. For the children, the exodus began a prolonged and tragic ordeal--some didn’t see their parents again for years; a few never did. Until now, this chapter of the Cuban Revolution has been relatively obscure. Initially the result of an effort by James Baker, headmaster of an American school in Cuba who worked closely with the anti-Castro underground, Pedro Pan quickly came to involve the Catholic Church in Miami and, in particular, Father Bryan Walsh, who established the Cuban Children's Program, the nationwide organization that cared for those children without relatives or friends in the United States--almost half of them. The latter program, in effect until 1981, was the first to allot federal money to private agencies for child care, an action with far-reaching repercussions for U.S. social policy. Victor Andres Triay traces this story from its political and social origins in Cuba, setting it in the context of the Cold War and describing the roles of the organizations involved in Cuba and in the United States. Making use of extensive interviews with Baker, Walsh, and influential underground figures, as well as personal letters that document the fears and dreams of both the parents and the children, Triay presents this history of Pedro Pan--the largest child refugee movement ever in the Western Hemisphere--with the drama of an international thriller and the pathos of a heartbreaking family drama.

Book excerpt: From 1960 to 1962, 14,048 Cuban minors arrived in Miami. María de los Angeles Torres was six years old when she took part in this massive airlift-now known as Operation Pedro Pan-in which parents, terrified that the new communist government would ship their children to Soviet work camps, sent them instead to America. Torres examines the event from both a historical and a personal perspective. This 'relentless investigator of history' (Miami Herald) forces declassification of key documents, challenging us all finally to come to terms with this pivotal yet largely neglected exodus.
Book Synopsis Operation Pedro Pan and the Exodus of Cuba's Children by : Deborah Shnookal
Download or read book Operation Pedro Pan and the Exodus of Cuba's Children written by Deborah Shnookal and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in-depth examination of one of the most controversial episodes in U.S.-Cuba relations sheds new light on the program that airlifted 14,000 unaccompanied children to the United States in the wake of the Cuban Revolution. Operation Pedro Pan is often remembered within the U.S. as an urgent “rescue” mission, but Deborah Shnookal points out that a multitude of complex factors drove the exodus, including Cold War propaganda and the Catholic Church’s opposition to the island’s new government. Shnookal illustrates how and why Cold War scare tactics were so effective in setting the airlift in motion, focusing on their context: the rapid and profound social changes unleashed by the 1959 Revolution, including the mobilization of 100,000 Cuban teenagers in the 1961 national literacy campaign. Other reforms made by the revolutionary government affected women, education, religious schools, and relations within the family and between the races. Shnookal exposes how, in its effort to undermine support for the revolution, the U.S. government manipulated the aspirations and insecurities of more affluent Cubans. She traces the parallel stories of the young “Pedro Pans” separated from their families—in some cases indefinitely—in what is often regarded in Cuba as a mass “kidnapping” and the children who stayed and joined the literacy brigades. These divergent journeys reveal many underlying issues in the historically fraught relationship between the U.S. and Cuba and much about the profound social revolution that took place on the island after 1959. Publication of the paperback edition made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Book Synopsis OUR FIRST SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS by : Consuelo León
Download or read book OUR FIRST SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS written by Consuelo León and published by Ediciones Universal. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consuelo (Chelo) Cordero was born in Havana, Cuba. She attended the American Dominican Academy in Havana for the first ten years of her education. Chelo arrived in the USA in 1961 and finished her high school at Notre Dame Academy in Miami. She earned a Bachelors Degree Magna Cum Laude from Barry College in Miami, and a M.A.T. in Spanish from Georgia State University in Atlanta. Chelo taught languages, especially Spanish, and was Chair of the Foreign Language Department at St. Pius X High School in Atlanta. Jesús León was born in Holguín, Cuba, and attended several schools in Cuba. He arrived in the USA in October 1960, graduating from Archbishop Curley High School in Miami. Jesús earned a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and a M.S. in Systems Engineering from the University of Florida. He went on to complete all the requirements but the final dissertation for a Ph.D. at the Georgia Institute of Technology of Atlanta; he later earned a M.B.A. from Georgia State University. Jesús worked in several companies in the US and Europe, including various start-ups, and retired as SVP and Chief Development Officer after twelve years at Ciena Corporation. Some say that Chelo and Jesús were "meant to be" because her last name, Cordero, translates to "lamb" while his last name, León, translates to "lion," a reminder of the Biblical saying, "and the lion shall lay down by the lamb." They were married in Miami in 1967. Chelo and Jesús wrote their memoirs to convey to their grandchildren the importance of a strong faith in God, the value of family, hard work and perseverance, and the impact of their Cuban heritage in their lives. Chelo wishes to be remembered as a loving and grateful person that always tried to treat others with kindness. Jesús wishes to be remembered as a person who tried to live in accordance with his Christian upbringing and beliefs.
Book Synopsis Waiting For Snow In Havana by : Carlos Eire
Download or read book Waiting For Snow In Havana written by Carlos Eire and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A childhood in a privileged household in 1950s Havana was joyous and cruel, like any other-but with certain differences. The neighbour's monkey was liable to escape and run across your roof. Surfing was conducted by driving cars across the breakwater. Lizards and firecrackers made frequent contact. Carlos Eire's childhood was a little different from most. His father was convinced he had been Louis XVI in a past life. At school, classmates with fathers in the Batista government were attended by chauffeurs and bodyguards. At a home crammed with artifacts and paintings, portraits of Jesus spoke to him in dreams and nightmares. Then, in January 1959, the world changes: Batista is suddenly gone, a cigar-smoking guerrilla has taken his place, and Christmas is cancelled. The echo of firing squads is everywhere. And, one by one, the author's schoolmates begin to disappear-spirited away to the United States. Carlos will end up there himself, without his parents, never to see his father again. Narrated with the urgency of a confession, WAITING FOR SNOW IN HAVANA is both an ode to a paradise lost and an exorcism. More than that, it captures the terrible beauty of those times in our lives when we are certain we have died-and then are somehow, miraculously, reborn.
