Read about the history of Little Havana in the newly published book by Guillermo Grenier and Corinna Moebius, "A History of Little Havana." You can purchase it at Amazon or order it from local independent bookstores (if it's not on their shelves already). In Little Havana, the book is available for sale at the Little Havana Cigar Factory (1501 SW 8th St, Miami, FL 33135). Here's a description: "In the heart of Miami, Little Havana is a neighborhood buzzing with culture. Still imagined as primarily a Cuban extension of the city, it has been a sanctuary to refugees since the 1959 revolution and has experienced fascinating changes to become what it is today. Find out how a location associated with old Cubans playing dominos has become a vibrant, multi-ethnic community and a birthplace of Miami's most exciting arts and music movements. Learn why Little Havana has continued to serve as a political stage for thousands of Cubans demonstrating on its streets, like the famous Calle Ocho. Authors Guillermo Grenier and Corinna Moebius trace the history and growth of this Latino epicenter in the first in-depth portrait of a world-renowned neighborhood."
