Hardback. Condizione: Good. New Orleans on Parade tells the story of the Big Easy in the twentieth century. In this urban biography, J. Mark Souther explores the Crescent City's architecture, music, food and alcohol, folklore and spiritualism, Mardi Gras festivities, and illicit sex commerce in revealing how New Orleans became a city that parades itself to visitors and residents alike.Stagnant between the Civil War and World War II -- a period of great expansion nationally -- New Orleans unintentionally preserved its distinctive physical appearance and culture. Though business, civic, and government leaders tried to pursue conventional modernization in the 1940s, competition from other Sunbelt cities as well as a national economic shift from production to consumption gradually led them to seize on tourism as the growth engine for future prosperity, giving rise to a veritable gumbo of sensory attractions. A trend in historic preservation and the influence of outsiders helped fan this newfound identity, and the city's residents learned to embrace rather than disdain their past.A growing reliance on the tourist trade fundamentally affected social relations in New Orleans. African Americans were cast as actors who shaped the culture that made tourism possible while at the same time they were exploited by the local power structure. As black leaders' influence increased, the white elite attempted to keep its traditions -- including racial inequality -- intact, and race and class issues often lay at the heart of controversies over progress. Once the most tolerant diverse city in the South and the nation, New Orleans came to lag behind the rest of the country in pursuing racial equity.Souther traces the ascendancy of tourism in New Orleans through the final decades of the twentieth century and beyond, examining the 1984 World's Fair, the collapse of Louisiana's oil industry in the eighties, and the devastating blow dealt by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Narrated in a lively style and resting on a bedrock of research, New Orleans on Parade is a landmark book that allows readers to fully understand the image-making of the Big Easy.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Anyone who has seen Rock City, wandered the grounds of Graceland, hiked in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or watched the mermaids swim at Weeki Wachee knows the southern United States offers visitors a rich variety of scenic, cultural, and leisure activities. Tourism has been, and is still, one of the most powerful economic forces in the modern South. It is a multibillion-dollar industry that creates jobs and generates revenue while drawing visitors from around the world to enjoy the region's natural and man-made attractions. This collection of 11 essays explores tourism as a defining force in southern history by focusing on particular influences and localities. Alecia Long examines sex as a fundamental component of tourism in New Orleans in the early 20th century, while Brooks Blevins describes how tourism served as a modernizing influence on the Arkansas Ozarks, even as the region promoted itself as a land of quaint, primitive hillbillies. Anne Whisnant chronicles the battle between North Carolina officials building the Blue Ridge Parkway and the owner of Little Switzerland, who fought for access and advertising along the scenic highway. One essay probes the racial politics behind the development of Hilton Head Island, while another looks at the growth of Florida's panhandle into a redneck Riviera, catering principally to southerners, rather than northern tourists. Southern Journeys is a pioneering work in southern history. It introduces a new window through which to view the region's distinctiveness. Scholars and students of environmental history, business history, labor history, and social history will all benefit from a consideration of the place of tourism in southern life. …

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xiv, [2], 272, [6] pages. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Bibliography. Index. No dust jacket present. Illustrated front cover. Publisher's ephemera laid in. This is one of the Making the Modern South series. Mark Souther is a historian and a Professor of History and the Director of the Center for Public History + Digital Humanities at Cleveland State University. Broadly trained as a historian of the modern U.S. and the American South, he specializes in urban history. His research interests include city and regional planning, urban renewal, historic preservation, downtowns, and suburbs. Mark earned his Ph.D. in History in 2002 from Tulane University. Mark has published four books, including New Orleans on Parade: Tourism and the Transformation of the Crescent City, American Tourism: Constructing a National Tradition, co-edited with Nicholas Dagen Bloom, and Believing in Cleveland: Managing Decline in "The Best Location in the Nation". Sandhill Cities is a comparative history of Augusta, Columbus, and Macon, Georgia, in the twentieth century. Weaving together southern, urban, and environmental history, J. Mark Souther narrates urban boosters' hopes and actions in their pursuit of metropolitan stature in three midsized cities situated along the fall line running through the middle of the state. It examines metropolitan and regional development in and around three midsize cities in the 20th century. These and other smaller cities, especially in the South have been neglected in U.S. urban history scholarship. This book is part of an emerging body of work that is exploring how the history of smaller cities forces a reframing of many assumptions in the field that sprang from scholarship weighted preponderantly toward the largest cities. Sandhill Cities focuses on the three cities along Georgia's stretch of the fall line, the natural slope dividing the Piedmont from the coastal plain and also a boundary that largely shaped the growing social chasm between white and black. It covers primarily the 1910s-80s and examines the slow abandonment of these cities' roles as markets, suppliers, and service centers for traditional agriculture dominated by cotton, their continued economic reliance on farm, forest, and mine products, and their pursuit of the hydroelectric and navigation possibilities of their rivers and the tourism and recreation potential of their landscape and climate. It also explores the impact of heavy militarization and the tension between the cities' embrace of a romanticized, problematic history as a foundation for tourism and their efforts to lure diversified industrial, office, and healthcare investments. These cities were part of the emergence of the modern South and the nation's transformation into a "consumer's republic," but their leaders looked to the future on their own terms, tailoring their strategies in ways that revealed local preoccupations and the weight of tradition and social division.
