This chapter illuminates how racial legacies of Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Movement, and Cuban incorporation matter if we are to understand undocumented/undocuqueer activists from Miami. Utilizing cultural geography’s concept of space and place, the chapter suggests a place-specific state of resistance to deportation and detention that speaks to a “Cuban Immigrant Power Structure.”
