As people from island nations, US-based Caribbean Island Hispanas are inundated with tropicalizing messaging that creates expectations around ideal body size and shape, skin color, hair texture, and other features.

Much of the existing research on body messages focuses on weight, body size, and exercise/diet habits and neglects to consider messages related to features that are salient for Caribbean Island Hispanas.…

Modern diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States are cold, stemming from historic conflict and divergent political ideologies. The two nations restored diplomatic relations on July 20, 2015, after relations had been severed in 1961 during the Cold War.

Cuban immigration to the United States, for the most part, occurred in two periods: the first series of immigration of wealthy Cuban Americans to the United States resulted from Cubans establishing cigar factories in Tampa, Florida, and from attempts to overthrow Spanish colonial rule by the movement led by José Martí, the second to escape from communist rule under Fidel Castro following the Cuban Revolution. Massive Cuban migration to Miami during the second series led to major demographic and cultural changes in Miami. There was also economic emigration, particularly during the Great Depression in the 1930s. As of 2024, there were 1,688,798 Cuban immigrants in the United States. The Louis…
