Questions:
- Why do so many second generation Florida Cubans still feel so strongly about how the U.S interacts with Cuba and handles Fidel?
- If the U.S-Cuba negotiations were made public to the U.S., how would that have affected the final outcome?
- Were the Guantanamo conditions for prisoners and U.S conditions for the Cuban spies better or worse than Gross' prison conditions?
- How much influence did the younger, more moderate Cuban-Americans have on the final push for Obama's change on Cuban travel policy?
- “ What were the politics of the locations the U.S allowed travelers to visit in Cuba on this specifically curated tour?
- Why did it take over 50 years to end all the restrictions of Cuba? Was it lingering fear of the cold war or the soviet ties?
- What are the demographics politically of the Cuban community in Florida now?
“The idea that I could go anywhere else in
the world, including Vietnam, North Korea,
or Iran, without special permission from the
US government but couldn’t go to Cuba
without a license angered me,”
This passage was the most shocking to read because I wasn't aware the travel embargo was so severe. . I remember my great-grandparents would often go back to travel and I'm curious to what their experience was as Cuban refugees returning and how much freedom they had on the island. It must have been very painful for transplanted natives to return and be monitored so intensely.
