First of all, South Florida is full of Cubans, so we want to mention some of his greatest contributions to this area, Here are some of the most popular Cubans restaurants in Florida : Bongos Cuban cafe, Mojitos, La Carreta and many others which provide the best Cuban food such as congris , yucca , rice with black beans, the delicious tamales and of course we have to mention its unique desserts like rice pudding, flan, and many more.

    The majoring groups of Latinos living in the United States. Each of the following groups is described in this section: Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Cubans, Dominicans, Central Americans, and Columbians and Panamanians share a chapter. Within the chapter, Gonzalez writes about individuals or families in order to reflect the general migration story of the larger groups. Thus, these individual portrayals serve as representations of the larger collection of immigrants. In the third section Gonzalez discusses several topics relating to Hispanics living in the United States. The topics include politics, immigration, language and culture, free trade, and the state of Puerto Rico. His theory is that different societies exist as a result of the historical antecedents to our modern society. In the immigrant descriptions help to personalize each of the different groups and allow the reader to identify with their stories. Also, Gonzalez stresses the important differences between each of the various Latino immigrant groups in the United States. Gonzalez combines much historical research with personal interviews he has conducted of various immigrant families. Gonzalez raises several issues concerning Hispanics living in the United States that are timely. He also asserts changes and believes that are essential to ensure Latino prosperity and assimilation in the United States. The changes he suggests are thought provoking and stimulating. Although the book has much strength, it also has limitations. The most obvious limitation of the section is its brevity. Gonzalez attempts to summarize more than 500 years of history in less than eighty pages. As a result, much of the history described is generalized and collapsed into short, summary statements. This book is well suited for those wishing to learn more about Hispanics in the United States.…

    First, an elite group of Cubans came, but immigration continued with people making the dangerous crossing to the United States by makeshift watercraft (Bernal & Shapiro, 1996). Some of these immigrants, such as the educated professionals who came to the United States during the early phase of Cuban migration, have become well established, where-as others who arrived with few economic resources are less so. Unlike immigrants from several other countries, many Cubans have gained access to citizenship and federal support through their status as political…

    Mitchell Roth Professor Ainbinder Psychology 640 November 14, 2012 Cultural Group Defined Cuban Americans as discussed in this paper include persons of primarily Cuban descent meaning persons who have at least one parent who is from Cuba. This does not include those who have one or more parents who are Cuban Americans as so defined. Basically, it includes, therefore those who were born in Cuba and are permanent residents or citizens of the United States, and those who were born in the United States but have at least one parent who was born in Cuba. Cultural Dimensions of the Group and Multicultural Issues In attempting to understand the complex cultural DNA of Cuban Americans it is important to have some knowledge of recent Cuban history. For the most part, any Cuban Americans that will land on one’s clinical couch or in one’s research study will not only be likely to have a fairly deep knowledge of this material, but will be significantly affected by it in terms of his or her culturally acquired attitudes and beliefs, or in other words his or her world view. And so with that in mind what follows is a brief recounting of Cuban and Cuban American history. Relevant Cuban History Without getting into all of the many details of Cuban history that are unnecessary for the purpose of this paper, suffice it to say that Cuban culture has been impacted by Spanish…

    THE BEGINNING The renaissance in modern Indian Literature begins with Raja Ram Mohan Roy. The infiltration of western culture, the study of English literature, the adoption of western scientific techniques, gave a jolt to India's traditional life. It shocked us into a new awareness, a sense of urgency, and the long dormant intellectual and critical impulse was quickened into sudden life and the reawakening Indian spirit went forth to meet the violent challenge of the values of modern science and the civilization of the west. Ram Mohan Roy's interests and inquiries ranged from the rights of women and the freedom of the press to English education, the revenue and judicial systems in India, religious toleration and the plight of the Indian peasantry. He could be named as the first of the Indian masters of English prose. He wrote a brief autobiographical sketch on request. Derozio Kashiprasad Ghose, M.M.Dutt are the other eminent writers of the time. They are called the first Indo-Anglian writers of verse and prose. Derozio's most ambitious work was The Fakir of Jungheera. Kashiprasad Ghose was one of the first Indians to publish a regular volume of English verse. The shair and other poems (1830) is a great contribution to the level of 'Gorboduc' in English literature. Michael Madhusudan Dutt was equally a talented writer. His Meghanad Badha is a great Bengali epic and he wrote in English The captive Ladie. There followed a lot of writers. 'Derozio's men' who aspired to become eminent in the field. Besides writers, political leaders, religious men also wrote in their own way for the enlightenment of the public. Dadabhai Naoroji was a teacher turned political leader and a good orator. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, his disciple Swami Vivekananda were great orators and their speeches carried the essence of truth. Vivekananda essayed English verse too eg : Kali, the mother, The song of the Sanyasin, My play is Done etc. The Dutts - Toru, Aru,…
