Exploring the Latino Metropolis: A Brief Urban Cultural History of US Latinos

Modern-day Miami

Over the years, Florida, and particularly Miami’s, Latino population had become increasingly diverse because of the arrival of immigrants from other Latino regions such as Latin America and the Caribbeans. In just 25 years, the Hispanic population had increased from 580,000 to 2 million, and the percentage of Cubans that make up the portion of Latino Miami had decreased from 56% to 42% (Bergad 89). In 2005, two-thirds of the Miami’s Latino households were made up of Cubans, Dominicans, and Puerto Ricans, while the other two Latino household heads were Colombians and Nicaraguans (Bergad 142-143).
