Theme: The Hakka
I
Introduction
A 2011 figure estimates that about 20,000 Cubans are of Chinese descent. Once among the largest Chinatowns in Latin America, the Barrio Chino de La Habana is now the world's smallest and is primarily concentrated in a small alleyway dominated by Chinese restaurants. Most Chinese Cubans live outside Barrio Chino. Today's class is about the specific circumstances in which Chinese - Cubans emerged as part of the cultural landscape of the island nation.
