Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Between 1960 and 1962, more than 14,000 Cuban children left their homeland without their parents and traveled to the United States during one of the most dramatic episodes of the early Cold War. What later became known as Operation Pedro Pan was not simply an airlift or a migration program. It was a story of families making impossible choices under pressure, children crossing borders alone, and lives permanently shaped by separation, exile, and uncertainty.This book tells that story with a clear focus on the people who lived through it. It follows the political and social conditions that pushed Cuban families toward such painful decisions, the network that helped move children out of the country, and the difficult realities they faced after arriving in the United States. Some entered foster homes, some lived in camps or temporary shelters, and many waited far longer than expected to see their parents again.At the heart of Operation Pedro Pan were questions no family should have to answer easily. Was separation safer than staying together How much did fear shape the decisions parents made What did children understand as they boarded planes without knowing when they would return And how did those experiences continue to influence identity, memory, and family relationships long after the immediate crisis had passed Operation Pedro Pan places these personal stories within the wider history of the Cuban Revolution, U.S.-Cuba tensions, migration, religion, exile, and Cold War anxiety. It also examines the role of Catholic organizations, American communities, foster systems, refugee networks, and the institutions that tried to care for thousands of young arrivals in a rapidly changing political environment.Written in an accessible, humane, and balanced style, this book avoids reducing the story to slogans or political arguments. Instead, it looks closely at the complexity of the decisions, the uncertainty surrounding them, and the lasting emotional consequences for the children and families involved.Operation Pedro Pan is ultimately a history of childhood under pressure, of parents acting with limited choices, and of young people forced to adapt to a new country before they were old enough to understand why they had left the old one behind. It is a powerful chapter in the history of Cuba, the United States, immigration, and exile-and a reminder that large political events are often remembered most deeply through the lives they disrupt.…
