Bøker av Gerald E. Poyo

Gerald Poyo provides a comprehensive account of how his great-great-grandfather spurred the working-class community of Key West to transform from supporting cast to critical actors in the struggle for Cuban independence.

In the 1960s and 1970s, catholicism offered Cuban exiles in US continuity: a community of faith, a place to gather, a sense of legitimacy as a people. Religion exerted a major influence on the beliefs and actions of Cuban exiles. This work provides insights for this community, and for other faith-based exile communities.
