I was born in Florida during the reign of Jim Crow and have lived to see black astronauts blasted into the heavens from Cape Canaveral. For three quarters of a century I have lived mostly in Florida. I have seen her flowers and her warts. This book is about both. People of African descent have been in Florida from the arrival of Ponce de Leon in 1513, yet our presence in the state is virtually hidden. A casual glance at most Florida history books depict African Americans primarily as laborers who are shown as backdrops to white history. The history of blacks in Florida has been deliberately distorted, omitted and marginalized. We have been denied our heroes and heroines. Our stories have mainly been left untold. This book lifts the veil from some of these stories and places African Americans in the very marrow of Florida history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50031354773777,"sku":"CIN1519372671G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51033480167697,"sku":"NIN9781519372673","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51681855734033,"sku":"GOR014350028","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1519372671.jpg?v=1751244416"},{"product_id":"black-miami-in-the-twentieth-century-book-marvin-dunn-9780813062983","title":"Black Miami in the Twentieth Century","description":"The first book devoted to the history of African Americans in south Florida and their pivotal role in the growth and development of Miami, Black Miami in the Twentieth Century traces their triumphs, drudgery, horrors, and courage during the first 100 years of the city's history.

The reasons it appeared varied, with psychological, political, and economic dynamics all playing a part, but the outcome was always brutal--if not deadly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  From the bombing of Harriette and Harry T. Moore's home on Christmas Day to Willie James Howard's murder, from the Rosewood massacre to the Newberry Six lynchings, Marvin Dunn offers an encyclopaedic catalogue of The Beast's rampages in Florida. Instead of simply taking snapshots of incidents, Dunn provides context for a century's worth of racial violence by examining communities over time. Crucial insights from interviews with descendants of both perpetrators and victims shape this study of Florida’s grim racial history. Rather than pointing fingers and placing blame,\u003cem\u003eThe Beast in Florida\u003c\/em\u003e allows voices and facts to speak for themselves, facilitating a conversation on the ways in which racial violence changed both black and white lives forever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  With this comprehensive and balanced look at racially motivated events, Dunn reveals the Sunshine State's too-often forgotten--or intentionally hidden--past. The result is a panorama of compelling human stories: its emergent dialogue challenges conceptions of what created and maintained The Beast.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50145104101649,"sku":"CIN0813041635G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813041635.jpg?v=1786135703"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-marvin-dunn.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
