Escape to Miami

An Oral History of the Cuban Rafter Crisis

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Escape to Miami is an oral history of the experience of detainees from Guantánamo during the 1994-1996 Cuban Rafter Crisis. Through life history interviews, the book offers the gripping stories of twelve rafters while also providing a study of group-level trauma and coping. Though important as an oral history, the examination of camp culture makes the project an innovative contribution to the field of anthropology as Campisi argues that coping with trauma experiences as a group can create new cultural forms.
