What is Going to Miami: Exiles, Tourists and Refugees in the New America (Florida Sand Dollar Books) about?

<p>"In the book's impressionistic and personal moments, Rieff succeeds in capturing the mood of the city. He is pleasantly open to the place he is exploring and generally maintains a stance of naïveté--the mark of a good travel writer."--<i>New York Times Book Review</i></p> <p>"A clear, insightful book of firsthand impressions of Florida's once-heralded Magic City and what its flamboyant Latinization since the 1960s means. Rieff looks thoughtfully at Miami as America's New Havana, with a nod to the image fostered by TV's Miami Vice--an easygoing recital of his visits with some of Miami's most influential Cuban leaders, ranging from moderates to possibly murderous, anti-Castro politicos, along with tours of the city's now-famed Calle Ocho stretch."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p> <p>"David Rieff gives Miami the treatment it deserves: an anti-travelogue that tours states of mind and basks in projected images. . . .
