Miami
Miami is a city in the southeastern Florida in the
the USA.
As of
2007,
the city had an estimated population of 404,048. Miami is the largest city in
the South Florida metropolitan area, which has a total estimated populationof
5.4 million people.
Miami is home to a major sea port, the Port of Miami, which both serves passenger and cargo traffic.
The port is in fact the busiest cruise/passenger port in the world, and has been for over a decade,
earning the nickname "Cruise Capital of the World".
The city of Miami also has a number of other nicknames, including
"The Gateway to the Americas". This refers to the fact that Miami has numerous
cultural and linguistic ties to North, Central and South America, as well as to the
Caribbean. As a result of these links, Miami has been selected as the headquarters
of Latin American operations for more than 1,400 multinational corporations, was also
selected as the host city for the
2003 Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA)
negotiations, and is a candidate city to be the host of the FTAA's headquarters.
Tourism is an important industry. Many people are drawn to the area by the beautiful beaches in Miami
Beach (which is not actually part of the city of Miami), and the famous nightclub district in
South Beach (which is in Miami Beach).

Product Description:
It is where Fidel Castro raised money to overthrow Batista and where two generations of Castro's enemies have raised armies to overthrow him, so far without success. It is where the bitter opera of Cuban exile intersects with the cynicism of U.S. foreign policy. It is a city whose skyrocketing murder rate is fueled by the cocaine trade, racial discontent, and an undeclared war on the island ninety miles to the south.
As Didion follows Miami's drift into a Third World capital, she also locates its position in the secret history of the Cold War, from the Bay of Pigs to the Reagan doctrine and from the Kennedy assassination to the Watergate break-in. Miami is not just a portrait of a city, but a masterly study of immigration and exile, passion, hypocrisy, and political violence. |
