Download or read book Miami at Night written by Bill Brothers and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miami is one of the United States' most fascinating cities. While the rest of the country endures snowstorms and cold weather, Miami is always hot and sexy. By day, the sun, sea, and Art Deco architecture highlight Miami's unique history and heritage. However, it is truly at night when the city comes alive. Miami at Night is a cityscape photography book featuring over 70 photos, including over 40 large panoramic photos that capture the essence of the energy that pulsates through nocturnal Miami.

Download or read book Miami Beach written by Horacio Silva and published by Assouline Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered by many as the country’s most dynamic, fastest growing and sexiest city, Miami is more popular than ever before. Yet, it is a city that doesn’t merely change but evolves, never rewriting the past, just adding to its illustrious heritage. And this is the real beauty of Miami. The chic Surf Club and the vibrant Faena Hotel did not replace the emblematic Raleigh of the 1940s nor the Ritz Carlton of the 50s, rather they complement them. Classics like Joe’s Stone Crab continue to serve their signature fare to sell-out crowds each night, as new establishments attract with name chefs. The iconic art deco architecture remains on full display as the modern Herzog & de Meuron-designed Perez Art Museum stands in stark contrast. Replete with arts and culture year round from the international art at The Bass to the street art of Wynwood Walls, each December, the city is taken over by the global cultural elite for Art Basel Miami Beach, a fair that attracts over 80,000 visitors who turn out for the momentous art, such as Maurizio Cattelan’s show stopping “Comedian”, and the exuberant festivities hosted each evening.

Book excerpt: Before they were icons they were friends The world would come to know him as Muhammad Ali, but on 25 February 1964, a twenty-two-year-old Cassius Clay celebrated his world heavyweight title not by hitting the town, but in a hotel room with his three closest friends: activist Malcolm X, singer Sam Cooke and American football star Jim Brown. To the outside world, they were American icons. But in that hotel room, here were four men who understood each other and their moment in history in a way that no one else could. With the Civil Rights movement stirring outside, and the melody of A Change is Gonna Come hanging in the air, these men would emerge from that room ready to define a new world.

Download or read book Miami Nights Nearly Killed Me written by Ebony Etheridge and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miami Nights is a follow up to Moist which was published back in 2012 but actually written in 2004. At the time of writing Moist I was living in Miami, Florida and heard the voices of the characters JaLisa and Richard while riding on Miami Transit and could not get them to stop speaking to me. The more they spoke the more I wrote. My family and I moved up to Port Saint Lucie, Florida at the end of 2006 and I no longer heard the characters until I decided to take a trip back down to Miami in early 2012. They were both back and speaking to me more than ever. I was able to publish Moist and decided the following year that I needed to be back in Miami and there it began. I would hear JaLisa and Richard All the time! I remember being at the beach, in bars and even night clubs hearing them speak to me. I would ask the person behind the bar to give me a few pieces of paper from their printer so that I could write down something. Fast forward a few months and I found myself in a position where I felt as though I was facing death. I write about that in by book Attitude of Gratitude under the name Ebony Simms. I decided then that I didn't want to tell JaLisa and Richard's story anymore. I was even called by a major publisher to do my story and my response to them was I didn't write like that anymore. I shelved this book for years because of the conflict I felt with my faith and this writing style. Miami Nights is very explicit! As I sat thinking one day it came to me don't die with your music in you. I pulled out the paperwork from a company I started by in 2012 Inner Voice Publishing and JaLisa and Richard were reawakend! If you do not like to read about sex, lies, drama, more sex, lies and drama please either put this book back on the shelf or skip along to the next novel that won't be so stimulating. For all of my day one supporters, followers and encouragers I love you guys so very much and I put this book out for you because You kept asking for it!!!

This is Miami...right? For most of the 5 million plus residents of Miami, the answer is no, no it is not. That is South Beach, or at least the image of South Beach that attracts millions of tourists every year from all over the world.

Across the bridge, Liberty City and Overtown are some of the most impoverished violent stricken neighborhoods in the country. In Aventura, Haitian immigrants struggling to feed their families live a block away from billon dollar high-rises in their view. It is a tough city. It is an unfair city. It is also a fun city. A sexy city. It has many, many stories to tell. Miami Nights will tell these stories. Just as nights can be in this city some of these stories will be hilarious, some will be tragic, some will be excessive and outrageous, and some will be terrifying.

So when an aging Cuban mobster asks Pete to find out who killed his drug-addicted, jazz pianist son and to locate his missing daughter-in-law, Pete balks. Until another victim suggests that the murder of the gangster’s son may be connected to the people that nearly ended Pete’s life, while revealing an unexpected, dangerous truth about the death of the Miami PI's own mother. Pulled back into the darkness and chaos he'd desperately tried to avoid, Pete finds his life derailed once more as he's forced to investigate a murder that should have never gone cold while dodging assassins' bullets and his own demons.

From one of the very best crime writers working today, Alex Segura crafts an epic novel of mystery, humanity, and suspense while bringing to a stunning conclusion the acclaimed series that reinvented the private eye novel for a new generation.
Download or read book Betye Saar Serious Moonlight written by Stephanie Seidel and published by Delmonico Books. This book was released on 2022-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rarely seen installation works that exemplify this pioneering artist's critical focus on Black identity and Black feminism Showcasing a lesser-known aspect of Saar's art, Betye Saar: Serious Moonlight provides new insights into her explorations of ritual, spirituality and cosmologies, as well as themes of the African diaspora. Featured here are significant installations created by Saar from 1980 to 1998, including Oasis (1984), a work that will be reconfigured at ICA Miami's Saar exhibition for the first time in more than 30 years. With compelling scholarship and rich illustration--combining new installation photography and archival material--the monograph provides a fresh look at this significant artist's critical and influential practice. Betye Saar: Serious Moonlight reinforces and celebrates Saar's standing as a visionary artist, storyteller and mythmaker, and the ongoing significance and relevance of her work to the most pressing issues in America today. Betye Saar (born 1926) is renowned for pioneering Black feminism and West Coast assemblage in her visionary artistic practice, through dense, complexly referential objects. For over six decades, Saar's work has led dialogues on race and gender, reflecting changing cultural and political contexts. Most recently, solo presentations have been hosted by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Saar's work was prominently featured in We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965-85 at the Brooklyn Museum, New York, and in Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power at Tate Modern, London, which traveled to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas; Brooklyn Museum; The Broad, Los Angeles; and the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
Download or read book Ordinary Girls written by Jaquira Díaz and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the Must-Read Books of 2019 According to O: The Oprah Magazine * Time * Bustle * Electric Literature * Publishers Weekly * The Millions * The Week * Good Housekeeping “There is more life packed on each page of Ordinary Girls than some lives hold in a lifetime.” —Julia Alvarez In this searing memoir, Jaquira Díaz writes fiercely and eloquently of her challenging girlhood and triumphant coming of age. While growing up in housing projects in Puerto Rico and Miami Beach, Díaz found herself caught between extremes. As her family split apart and her mother battled schizophrenia, she was supported by the love of her friends. As she longed for a family and home, her life was upended by violence. As she celebrated her Puerto Rican culture, she couldn’t find support for her burgeoning sexual identity. From her own struggles with depression and sexual assault to Puerto Rico’s history of colonialism, every page of Ordinary Girls vibrates with music and lyricism. Díaz writes with raw and refreshing honesty, triumphantly mapping a way out of despair toward love and hope to become her version of the girl she always wanted to be. Reminiscent of Tara Westover’s Educated, Kiese Laymon’s Heavy, Mary Karr’s The Liars’ Club, and Terese Marie Mailhot’s Heart Berries, Jaquira Díaz’s memoir provides a vivid portrait of a life lived in (and beyond) the borders of Puerto Rico and its complicated history—and reads as electrically as a novel.
