Miami, U.S.A.


Book Description

A clipped, anecdotal style distinguishes this history of Miami, originally published in 1953 but now updated through the Orange Bowl Parade of 1990. The text includes comments and stories about the Cuban and South American emigrations, the 1980s boom, drug craziness, the European fascination for Miami, the destruction of natural beauty, the chaos of inner-city living, and the residents--the author for one--both native and newcomers, who could never call another city "home." Chatty, factual, and personal, this is a not-to-be-missed slice of southern living. The photos are by Masud and Najam Quraishy. Bibliography; index. --Cynthia Ogorek.
