A look at how immigrant communities shaped the urban landscape of Miami. Two professors of sociology team up to trace the city's development from its early popularity as a tourist and retirement destination to its current status as an immigrant mecca. The authors believe that Miami's multiculturalism may hold the key for the future of other American cities.  (FLA38, $21.95)
