Cuban exile

Famed Cuban exile and independence leader Jose Marti, with other Cuban emigrants, in front of Martello Tower in Key West, 1893.

A Cuban exile is a person who has been exiled from Cuba. Many Cuban exiles have various differing experiences as emigrants depending on when they emigrated from Cuba, and why they emigrated.[1]

The exile of Cubans has been a dominating factor in Cuban history since the early independence struggles, in which various average Cubans and political leaders spent long periods of time in exile. Long since independence struggles, Miami has become the more center of residence for exilic Cubans, and a cultural hub of Cuban life outside of Cuba.[2] Miami became a center for Cuban emigrants, during the 1960s, because of a growing Cuban-owned business community which was supportive of recently arrived Cubans.[3]
