ResumoThe adaptation of post-1959 Cuban migrants in the United States has been a uniquely public affair. From this migration stream's earliest days with the failure of the Bay of Pigs operation to the more recent controversy over the immigration status of Elián González, the nation has watched, and analyzed, the adaptation of Cuban émigrés more closely than it has that of other recent migration streams. Central to this emerging Cuban American identity is the concentration of the majority Cuban [End Page 207] origin and ancestry peoples in the United States in and around one city—Miami—built anew by the presence of Cuban migrants.
