Social Dimensions of Change
Population dynamics change. Minorities become majorities or threaten to do so. At times, demographic changes might change cultural characteristics: ways of looking at the world, beliefs in what’s right or wrong, how to live one’s life. The organization of societies can change; classes can emerge and question the stratification system. Specific groups can become more or less relevant. Power relations can shift or become contested. This might lead to a restructuring of institutional systems…politics, economic relations, the importance of kinship or religious ties. If this were a theoretical presentation, we could explore how the Cuban American community in South Florida is undergoing changes along these dimensions but let’s bring it down a notch.

Cuban Migration to U.S.by Decades
*
The Cuban-American population of Miami is changing rapidly, thanks to the normalized flow of immigrants since the 1995 immigration agreement and the abnormal reception that Cubans receive in the United States. Over 300K Cubans have come to the US since the turn of the Century. This has been the decade with the highest number of immigrants (depends how you cut it, of course. The ten years of the Puente Aereo brought in more.) This has had a direct impact on Miami

The influx is shaping Miami. Over a third of ethnic Cubans living in Miami have come since 1994. ReCubanization process occurring. Would not have been predictable in 1990.

1990 Polls vs 2000 Polls
Average of Responses
Support for Embargo and Support for Dialogue
*
And population density seems to matter, at least when measuring some of the ideological characteristics of the community. Here we have the average of the responses from our five 1990 polls and our five 2000 polls on two questions: support for the embargo and support for a dialogue. As the Cuban population increases from 650K to 850k, the opinions converge, embargo going down and Dialogue going up.

Average of Responses
Support for Selling Medicines and Unrestricted Travel
*
Similar trend is evident in questions that dealing with topics that always have received sizable support: Selling medicines and unrestricted travel…each going up significantly as population increases. Not because of the numbers, but because of the ideological characteristics of the new arrivals.
