MARTIN FERNANDEZ, Consuelo. Social Connotation of the Cuban Migration: perceptions, causes, and consequences. Rev Nov Pob [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.33, pp.101-118.  Epub 30-Oct-2021. ISSN 1817-4078.

The Cuban migratory process is determined by a concrete historical and cultural context and, at the same time, determines the articulation of its objective and subjective expressions in daily life. The purpose of this article is to present the evolution of the social connotation of the Cuban migration, from the rejection-acceptance relations at the family and social levels, the perception of changes, and the social representation of emigrating. The causes to emigrate are described from a psycho-historic perspective. The consequences on daily life subjectivity are shown to be associated with crisis situations, credible fear as a perceived incentive for leaving the country, the family at the center of the migratory strategies, the process of return migration, and the perceptions of COVID-19 that configure current scenarios. The final reflections contribute to frame scenarios that integrate the emigration to the nation, through policies and practices of daily life in Cuba.

Palabras clave : causes and consequences; COVID-19; credible fear; migrant families; return process; social connotation of the migration; social representations.
