Since 1959, Cuban emigration seems to have been the subject of two consensuses. First, the Cuban Revolution would have resulted in a significant migratory movement towards the United States. Then, this would reflect the rejection of the process of social transformation structured around a one-party political system put in place by Fidel Castro. The migration statistics of the U.S. authorities, available for the period from 1860 to 2019, will shed light on this question by comparing the various flows from Cuba at different times (1860-1959, 1960-1989, 1990-2019). Likewise, a comparative analysis of migratory flows emitted by the countries of the region will assess the relevance of these two hypotheses.
