Summary:
"Built in 1900 near Havana's harbor, Triscornia stood as one of the first migratory centers in the Americas and a symbol of the first U.S. military occupation. This book focuses on this overlooked institution and emphasizes its relevance to understanding the Cuban Republican period and its relationship with the United States"-- Provided by publisher.
