Abstract: This dissertation describes and analyzes the ethno-racial identities and the socio-economic experiences of thirty black Cuban men and women who live in the United States. In doing so it addresses some of the major issues in immigration and identity studies, and in the social history of people of African descent. Specifically, it examines how these immigrants of African descent are being incorporated into the US's ethno-racial and social class hierarchy, and sheds light on subjectivization processes---the creation of citizens---and on the nature of racial formation that is currently taking place in the United States. It integrates larger societal forces and processes with ordinary everyday experiences, exploring how macro and micro processes shape ethno-racial identities and inter-group relationships.
