The Cuban Exile Community refers to the group of Cubans who left their homeland, particularly after the 1959 Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro. Many fled due to political persecution, economic hardship, and the desire for greater freedoms. This community is primarily concentrated in the United States, especially in cities like Miami, where they have established vibrant cultural and social networks. Over the years, the Cuban Exile Community has played a significant role in shaping U.S. policy towards Cuba and advocating for democracy and human rights on the island. They have also contributed to the cultural landscape of the U.S. through music, art, and cuisine, enriching the multicultural fabric of American society.
