The Assimilation and Problems of Adjustment to the American Culture of One Hundred Cuban Refugee Adolescents, Attending Catholic and Public High Schools, in Union City and West New York, New Jersey, 1959-1966

Abstract

The world has witnessed an almost constant shifting of people, leading us to believe that migration is probably as old as human society. During the thousands of years in which this drama has been repeated, the cast has often changed, the settings have varied, the lines spoken have differed, but the plot remains essentially the same. People are either driven from their homeland by force of arms or hunger, or they are attracted to a new land by the lure of adventure, freedom, or the hope of finding a better living. They encounter difficulty in traveling, for it has never been easy.
