Another episode, another example of trouble with the water in Florida.

Our guest is Florida native, author, historian and professor Sara McNamara whose recently published book, "Ybor City: Crucible of the Latina South," details how the enclave of Cuban migrants evolved through the years and how it is distinguished from Cuban communities in Miami.

If this subject interests you, previous episodes on early Cuban exiles to Miami and the Columbia Restaurant will be worth your while.
