International audience Since the beginning of the Revolution, Cuban authorities have emphasized the fight against sexual discrimination in their speeches and in the law. However, Cuban society has not departed from some sexist clichés and the part played by women within it remains ambivalent. Indeed, while they are presented as one of the pillars of the Revolution, Cuban women are also the main support in many families, at every level. As a consequence, since 1959, their integration into the Cuban territory or, conversely, their departure from it, has impacted both the Island and its population.For different reasons—which this paper will analyze—, migration flows from Cuba have been primarily directed to "the Northern Neighbor". We will therefore first study more particularly the reasons for this emigration as well as the main periods of female emigration since 1959. In a second part, this work will focus on the specificities of Cuban women's migrations to the United States, and we will examine whether these migrations have led to the re-creation of a cultural and identity space and what specific role Cuban woman may have played in the appropriation of the new territory. Lastly, this paper will dwell on the multiple impacts of this migration by analyzing how Cuban women are perceived in the United States, both by their original community and their host community. The influence of Cuban female migrants on both the Cuban and American political and economic systems will be looked into, and we shall then wonder whether Miami may or not be considered a new Cuban border.Haut de pageEntrées d'index ; Dès les prémices de la Révolution, les autorités cubaines ont mis l'accent, dans leurs discours et dans les lois, sur la lutte contre les discriminations de genre. Malgré tout, la société cubaine ne s'est pas départie de certains clichés sexistes, et le rôle des femmes en son sein demeure ambivalent. Ainsi, si elle est présentée comme l'un des piliers de la Révolution, la femme cubaine est également l'étai de nombreuses ...

Scholarship on nationalism and the state has examined how immigration and nationality policy create boundaries of inclusion and exclusion. While a handful of countries of immigration have been analysed extensively, explanations of nationality law have not accounted adequately for countries of emigration. This paper's historical analysis of Mexican nationality law and its congressional debate demonstrates that the ways the state has defined nationality at different periods cannot be attributed simply to demographic migration patterns or legacies of past understandings of ethnic or state-territorial nationhood, according to the expectations of received theory. The literature's focus on geopolitically stronger countries of immigration obscures the critical effects of inter-state politics on nationality law in subordinate states. Mexico's nationality laws reflect its experiences as a geopolitically weak country of immigration, despite a net out-migration of its population.

Republicans should not fear immigration based on unfounded political concerns.
