Miami no es un recién llegado a la historia de la gentrificación que ha remodelado el tejido urbano en ciudades de todo el mundo. Sin embargo, un nuevo megaproyecto que se va a llevar a cabo en el barrio de Little Haiti de Miami representa una modificación capitalista estratégica de los anteriores procesos de desposesión y desplazamiento socioterritorial basados en la clase y la raza. Como argumentamos en este documento, el Magic City Innovation District de Little Haiti es emblemático para un auge global de la acumulación corporativa urbana financiarizada, que presenta nuevos desafíos para las comunidades locales. Nos preguntamos qué opciones políticas prácticas tiene una comunidad minoritaria predominantemente pobre para enfrentarse a estos retos. Nuestro análisis del Pequeño Haití de Miami sugiere dos conclusiones: en primer lugar, que la megaespeculación inmobiliaria exacerba potencialmente las divisiones político-sociales dentro de dicha comunidad, subvierte su capacidad de resistencia y la hace más vulnerable a la desposesión y el desplazamiento a gran escala; y en segundo lugar, que la megaespeculación exacerba las divisiones y desigualdades socioterritoriales dentro del tejido de una metrópolis más amplia.
