Administrative/Biographical History Element

"The strategy used in this research was to observe and describe the sociological and cultural contrasts between the three largest immigration groups of Cubans that came to the United States since 1960 and the impact that the different generations had such as: religion, ideologies, music and dance preferences and the Cuban traditions they brought to Louisiana.

The interviews were conducted by Tomás Montoya in Spanish and later translated by Guillermo Cabrera-Rojo and Lori Tyler. The project took place over the course of two years. During the first year, research was conducted with a wide range of immigrants who arrived at different times with particular interest in how they maintain their culture through music and dance. The second year of research focused on Cuban celebrations in New Orleans. During this time, Tomás conducted interviews and attended various events."
