Between Guantánamo and Montego bay: Cuba, Jamaica, migration and the cold war, 1959–62

The following study explores how people worked, travelled and sought refuge between Jamaica and Cuba during the years immediately following the Cuban Revolution and decolonization in Jamaica. The Cold War redefined the nature of travel between Jamaica and Cuba: the Jamaican community in Cuba gained new significance for the Jamaican government, thousands of Cuban exiles poured into Jamaica, and Jamaican leftists sought adventure and inspiration in Cuba. Simultaneously, the Cold War made any movement between communist Cuba and the recently independent Jamaica a matter of government concern, and the United States actively intervened and set concrete limits on Jamaica's nascent independence and foreign policy. The extent to which the state controlled migration and travel between Jamaica and Cuba demonstrates the scope and limits of the Cold War's power over the Jamaican government and its nationals in this era.
