CENTER NEWS
Institute for
Latino Studies, University of Notre Dame
On March 17, 2003, the Institute for Latino Studies hosted a book signing
and talk by Guillermo Grenier & Lisandro Pérez for their new
book “The Legacy of Exile: Cubans in the United States.” The
Legacy of Exile, the latest entry in the New Immigrants Series, deals
with one of the most visible and political of all U.S. immigrant groups-Cubans.
The book presents the long tradition of Cuban immigration to the United
States: the elements of Cuban culture which have emerged and reinforced
this tradition of migration; the impact that Cubans have had on the Miami
area; as well as the changes within the community as Cubans develop in
to a well established minority group within the United States. Lisandro
Pérez is on the faculty of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology
at Florida International University in Miami and directs the Cuban Research
Institute at that institution. Dr. Grenier is a professor of sociology
at Florida International University and was, until recently, the director
of the Florida Center for Labor Research and Studies. For more information

War II to expose wartime audiences to Latin American culture and to strengthen
the relations between both Northern and Southern America. For further

of family and community life and traditions; funding, collecting and accessibility

The Library of Congress,
through its American Folklife Center, has established an important program,
The Veterans History Project. They invite participation in this significant
national effort to collect and preserve audio- and videotaped interviews
from veterans of World War I, World War II, and the Korean, Vietnam and
Persian Gulf wars. Congress unanimously passed the "Veterans' Oral
History Project Act" in October of 2000. The legislation was sponsored
by Representatives Ron Kind, Amo Houghton and Steny Hoyer in the U.S.
House of Representatives with Senators Max Cleland and Chuck Hagel in
the U.S. Senate. In addition to interviews, the law also calls for the
acquisition of documents such as letters, diaries, and photographs. With
public participation the project is developing as Congress intended: children
interviewing their grandparents; students talking with veterans and homefront
supporters in the community; veterans interviewing each other; and libraries,
museums, and civic groups starting their own projects. The Veterans History
Project and the many diverse American communities benefit from a joint
collaboration. The interviews not only offer the testimony of the veterans
for posterity; those involved will help bring about a deeper appreciation
of our Nation's multicultural history through first hand accounts. The
Library of Congress and its American Folklife Center continue to invite
individuals to interview veterans and affiliated civilians. More information
is on line at http://www.loc.gov/vets/
which features a list of those interviewed in the National Registry of
Service. For further information please call Taru Spiegel, Program Officer,
at (202) 707-9814, or e-mail at tspi@loc.gov.
