The 1980 Mariel Boatlift was a profound episode in twentieth-century American history, impacting not just Florida, but the entire country. In this study, Kathleen Dupes Hawk, Ron Villella, Adolfo Leyva de Varona, and Kristen Cifers combine the insights of expert observers with the experiences of actual participants. They bring into focus the far-reaching human, political, and cultural outcomes of the Mariel Boatlift that continue to influence Florida, the US, and Cuba today.
