Initial Research Post

I am doing my research on Iranians and Cuban immigrating to the United States. One of my most helpful articles thus far has been “U.S. Foreign Policy, 1959-80: Impact on Refugee Flow from Cuba,” by John Scanlon and Gilburt Loescher. It has been extremely helpful in my understanding of immigration flows to the United States. It mainly talks about the internal pushes from the country. My group project has supplemented my own research quite well. In particular, for anyone considering pushes and pulls for immigration, I would recommend using our group’s article “Refugees and Rivals: The International Dynamics of Refugees Flows,” by Shweat Moorthy and Robert Brathwaite.
