From ancient Indigenous civilizations to neon-lit nights on South Beach, A Brief History of Miami is a sweeping, cinematic journey through one of America’s most dynamic cities. Author and narrator Derek Monaghan brings Miami’s layered past to life with vivid storytelling, historical clarity, and emotional depth, capturing the city’s evolution through hurricanes, revolutions, cultural renaissances, and reinventions.
Spanning ten immersive chapters, this compelling narrative explores:
- The sacred lands of the Tequesta and Calusa
- Spanish and British imperial clashes
- The birth of Miami through railroads and orange blossoms
- The roaring land boom and devastating 1926 hurricane
- WWII’s transformation of Miami into a military hub
- The Cuban exile story and rise of Little Havana
- Racial reckoning and resilience in the 1980s
- Hurricane Andrew’s destruction and rebirth
- South Beach’s Art Deco revival and global fame
- Climate change, tech innovation, and the city’s uncertain future
Whether you're a history lover, cultural explorer, or curious traveler, this book offers a powerful reflection on Miami’s soul; its contradictions, its courage, and its capacity to rise again and again.
Miami doesn’t just endure; it reinvents. This is the city that refuses to sink.
