In 1985, I completed my graduate thesis for a Master of Arts degree in Communications, Rhetoric, Ethnography, and Theatre at the University of Illinois at Chicago.“The Chinese in Cuba” was the topic of research and historical, ethnographical focus of a cross-cultural family which assimilated and acculturated in Cuba.
