Girard, Chris; Grenier, Guillermo J. – Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, 2008
Many Cuban Americans embrace a distinctive anti-Castro ideology. Although this ideology supports the embargo against Cuba--purportedly to bring about the Castro regime's compliance or collapse--the real objectives may be more symbolic than practical.
