Reviews'Susan Eckstein has given the first comprehensive account of U.S. immigration policy's treatment of Cubans, who for more than half a century enjoyed incredible privileges compared to other immigrants. Her account is an indispensable road map for understanding the growth of the Cuban diaspora in the United States and how it came to enjoy a powerful place in American politics.' William M. LeoGrande, American University

SynopsisFor over half a century the US granted Cubans, one of the largest immigrant groups in the country, unique entitlements. While other unauthorized immigrants faced detention, deportation, and no legal rights, Cuban immigrants were able to enter the country without authorization, and have access to welfare benefits and citizenship status. This book is the first to reveal the full range of entitlements granted to Cubans. Initially privileged to undermine the Castro-led revolution in the throes of the Cold War, one US President after another extended new entitlements, even in the post-Cold War era. Drawing on unseen archives, interviews, and survey data, Cuban Privilege highlights how Washington, in the process of privileging Cubans, transformed them from agents of US Cold War foreign policy into a politically powerful force influencing national policy. Comparing the exclusionary treatment of neighboring Haitians, the book discloses the racial and political biases embedded within US immigration policy., The first book to document the full range of entitlements granted to Cubans over other immigrants for more than half a century, highlighting the racial and political biases embedded within US immigration policy. A fascinating, topical account of interest to policy makers and scholars of Latin America.
