Conference summary :
The Cuban revolutionaries who migrated to Florida and New York in the latter part of the 19th century played a pivotal role in launching the Cuban war of independence. Along with their counterparts in Latin America, the Caribbean and Gulf world, these émigré communities coordinated, fund-raised, and prepared to fight for liberation by interacting, to a large extent, through print media, as each community had their share of locally published newspapers. This presentation focuses on the transnationalism that emerged among these communities and elaborates on the effort to recover these important resources.
