Cuban exiles
Miami's Caribbean diaspora
Cuban exiles are people who left Cuba and settled elsewhere, especially the waves of emigration following Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution.
The term most often refers to those who fled to the United States, particularly South Florida, where they established a politically influential community.
The Cuban exile community has shaped Miami's culture and politics for decades.
Many Cuban exiles maintain strong opposition to the Cuban government and hope for regime change.
