- Abstract
The article discusses the history of the Krome detention center in South Florida, which was used by the U.S. government to detain Haitian and Cuban refugees after the 1980 Mariel boatlift, in light of U.S. imperialism in the Caribbean region. Topics include the creation of Krome as a Nike Hercules missile base during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, legal discrimination against Haitian refugees by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), and poor sanitary and environmental conditions at the Krome site, which was located in swampland. An attempt to move refugees to Fort Allen on Puerto Rico is noted.
