Dunn's book is a look back at Miami's first century through black eyes. It tells the story of Black Miami through the events of lives of Black people; it is not meant to be comprehensive. Dunn has certain organization but the narrative does jump around in certain sections. I also thought the Early Bahamian history narrative was kind of rush and wrong. He kept making comments like "Bahamian roots are still apparent" but did not elaborate on what he meant by it. Overall though, I enjoyed reading the history of Black Miami, especially after the 1950s. The photographs he had in the book were so shocking.
