Notes

Abstract: This manuscript is a journey into applied anthropology coming from a creative writing student. The holistic methods of the field are discussed and explored, including ethnographic research and making a change in studied societies affected with social problems. This work addresses the recent and growing trend of the Cuban diaspora to Texas. Themes such as preservation of identity have been noted, as the recent immigrants bring their food, music, and tobacco along with them. The author discusses his experience as a beginning ethnographer and highlights the ups and downs during research. Also, he is able to point out several organizations that are offering aid and assistance to the new Latino minority in Texas, the Cuban people. Policy toward Latin America is discussed, particularly the Good Neighbor policy, and the idea of American film made during this era, influencing the Cuban diaspora to the United States.
