America’S Pastime: Human Trafficking, Cuba, And The Road To The Show, Cole Burton
Northern Illinois University Law Review
Cuban athletes face a treacherous journey in venturing from Cuba to the United States in order to pursue their dreams of becoming professional athletes.

These emerging forms of endogenous democratic practices have been developed along two distinct lines, …
