Abstract:

Abstract This is the result of a more in-depth study of the main socio-psychological and economic regularities of the community of Spaniard permanent residents recognized by Cuban laws between 2011 and 2016; in addition, characteristic features of that community are identified before 1959 and an evolutionary comparison of its variations is established. The analysis was carried out addressing the following areas: political, social, psychological, economic, legal, migratory, cultural and statistical, in order to know what were their trends, composition, behavior and characteristics and character of the community mentioned in the settlement process in the country. The main causes that led to the evolution and development of the Spaniard community from 1900 to the present were identified, focusing on the period 2011-2016, when Cuba changed its migration policy and opened a new relationship stage with it between State and migration. A preponderant role played in this, the changes of governments before 1959 and their social policies, as well as the historical relations with the United States of America before the triumph of the Cuban Revolution and during the revolutionary process. It is verified that it was a migration historically nuanced by a strong influence and political interests both Cuban and foreign, which put the freckle with the community of Spaniards that today is settled in Cuba.
