Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the adjustment and assimilation of Cuban refugees living in West New York, New Jersey. This group represents a major body of refugees for whom the United States serves as a country of first asylum (p. 130). Two major theoretical considerations, discussed in great detail in this work are the significance of the development of a strong ethnic community in the adjustment and acculturation of refugees ,and the significance of class position in cultural assimilation. Other data contained in this document relate to family income, occupational adjustments, inter-ethnic relations, family relations, socio-economic status, education, employment, and U.S. government care of the refugee population.
