La transformación de las narrativas y proyectos de vida de cubanos/as del oriente de cuba en puerto rico

Abstract

This work constitutes the second phase of a study that explores how the life projects of Cubans from the East of Cuba who have migrated to Puerto Rico in the last twenty years change as a result of the experiences, relationships and conditions that have lived in Puerto Rico. We set out to: 1) explore how the life and narrative projects of this group of migrants are transformed, 2) investigate the perception of the participants about the differences between them and Cubans from other regions of Cuba and 3) explore experiences of discrimination and exclusion as experienced and described by the participants in the first phase. Other researchers have used this approach in migrant studies in order to give them a voice and make them visible in the host societies (Sonn, 2010).
