1.0 out of 5 starsComing To Miami:A Social History
By Jose Lopez on July 24, 2011
Format: Hardcover
Why is there a woman holding a child from the Cuban Freedom Flights on the cover(See Pan Am in background)? for a Book that is about coming to Miami,And the misleading photo,you would think it is about Cuban Exiles or Immigrants period,instead it's a "Social" history,buzzword for progressives sadly.Throughout the book it's all about the victim mentality that sadly has destroyed/is destroying the Black Community(True Black Intellectuals like Thomas Sowell and a person like Clarence Thomas are not important,instead racebaiters and panderers are enabling the destruction.)It's all About Cubans who came here and took Jobs(At least it's pointed out that Cubans actually came to work not the Myth of all Cuban Rich Exiles),It is a ProUnion Slanted book. Seiu and others,etcera,If you want a true history look elsewhere.

1.0 out of 5 starsSkip it
By Book Seeker on May 14, 2010
Format: Hardcover
Poorly written. Boring. The author does not make the subject come alive. Plus this is NOT a story about Miami. It's a story about African Americans. People like Steve Clark and Alice Wainwright are never mentioned but there are several entries on MLK. I don't have a problem with a written history of African Americans in Miami. But why the picture of a Cuban Freedom flighter on the cover? Call it A history of African Americans in Miami and put Theodore Gibson on the cover and I am happy as a clam. Except that it's still poorly written and boring. I'd give it no stars but Amazon insists on at least one.
