CHC Examines Cuban Rafter Crisis through a Digital Lens
In our ongoing commemoration of the twentieth anniversary of the Cuban Rafter Crisis, CHC is launching two online resources providing a close examination of the crisis and critical events surrounding the sea exodus. The new exhibition "Between Despair and Hope: Cuban Rafters at the U.S. Naval Base Guantánamo Bay, 1994-1996" and the redesign of "The Cuban Rafter Phenomenon" site are now on view. Learn more »
The launch of these sites is meant to coincide with the Guantanamo Public Memory Project exhibit in Miami, currently at the Little Haiti Cultural Center and at the University of Miami at the end of September.
For research materials on the Cuban rafter crisis or to schedule a class visit to CHC focusing on this topic, please contact us at chc@miami.edu.
