"Written in a clear, accessible, and lively style, Souvenirs of the Old South will be the foundational work for subsequent scholars and readers interested in tourism in the New South."--W. Fitzhugh Brundage, author of The Southern Past: A Clash of Race and Memory "This study of southern images offers readers a glimpse of how history, culture, race, and class came together in the tourist imagination. If the South emerged from the Civil War a distinctive place, Rebecca McIntyre would remind us that’s because distinctiveness sells."--Richard Starnes, author of Creating the Land of the Sky: Tourism and Society in Western North Carolina Less than a decade after the conclusion of the Civil War, northern promoters began pushing images of a mythic South to boost tourism. By creating a hierarchical relationship based on region and race in which northerners were always superior, promoters saw tourist dollars begin flowing southward, but this cultural construction was damaging to southerners, particularly African Americans. Rebecca McIntyre focuses on the years between 1870 and 1920, a period framed by the war and the growth of automobile tourism. These years were critical in the creation of the South’s modern identity, and she reveals that tourism images created by northerners for northerners had as much effect on making the South "southern" as did the most ardent proponents of the Lost Cause. She also demonstrates how northern tourism contributed to the worsening of race relations in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Focus: Music of South Africa provides an in-depth look at the full spectrum of South African music, a musical culture that epitomizes the enormous ethnic, religious, linguistic, class, and gender diversity of the nation itself. Drawing on extensive field and archival research, as well as her own personal experiences, noted ethnomusicologist and South African native Carol A. Muller looks at how South Africans have used music to express a sense of place in South Africa, on the African continent, and around the world. Part One, Creating Connections, provides introductory materials for the study of South African Music. Part Two, Musical Migrations, moves to a more focused overview of significant musical styles in twentieth-century South Africa -- particularly those known through world circuits. Part Three, Focusing In, takes the reader into the heart of two musical cultures with case studies on South African jazz and the music of the Zulu-language followers of Isaiah Shembe. The accompanying downloadable resources offer vivid examples of traditional, popular, and classical South African musical styles.
With rumors of zombies in Miami, FBI agent Brett Cody and the Krewe of Hunters, a team of paranormal investigators, are called in to investigate.--Publisher.
Join New York Times bestselling author Heather Graham’s Krewe of Hunters, an elite FBI unit of paranormal investigators, as they’re called in to investigate when cases take a turn for the strange and there are no earthly leads… THE SILENCED A congressman’s media assistant suddenly quits her job—and disappears. Bodies fitting her description are showing up in nearby rivers… Could she be the victim of a serial killer? Novice FBI agent Meg Murray is assigned to work with special agent Matt Bosworth, a hard-nosed pro in the Krewe of Hunters. They trace a route through battlefields and graveyards from Harpers Ferry to Gettysburg. Places where the dead share their secrets with those who can hear… When Meg and Matt find themselves in the middle of a political conspiracy, whom—besides each other—can they trust? THE FORGOTTEN When a Miami woman is murdered—apparently by her presumed-dead husband—rumors of crazed zombies abound in the media, and the Krewe of Hunters is assigned. FBI agent Brett Cody can’t help but feel responsible, since he was supposed to protect the man and his wife. Nearby, Lara Mayhew is working at a dolphin research facility. She loves her new job…until a dolphin brings her attention to a dismembered human corpse. Soon Brett and Lara find themselves working with the Krewe, and working closely together. An elderly crime boss who’s losing his memory seems to be key to solving this case, but there’s no motive. Unless Brett and Lara can uncover one in the Miami underworld. And that means they have to protect themselves—and each other. THE HIDDEN Historian Scarlet Barlow is trying to rebuild after her divorce by working at a small museum attached to a B and B in Estes Park, Colorado. It’s the site of an unsolved murder dating from just after the Civil War. When Scarlet unwittingly takes pictures of people who’ve been murdered in the same manner as the past crime, the police look at her with suspicion. Can the same killer strike again—a hundred and fifty years later? Then the museum’s statues of historic people begin to talk to her, and she knows it’s time to call her ex-husband, FBI agent Diego McCullough—who’s just been asked to join the Krewe of Hunters. Diego heads to Estes Park, determined to solve the bizarre case that threatens Scarlet’s life…and to reunite with the woman he never stopped loving.
An unorthodox historian known and respected for his work on the grand conflicts of nations and civilizations, John Lukacs has peopled a smaller canvas in this volume, with seven colourful figures who flourished in Philadelphia before 1950. Their stories are framed by chapters that describe the city in 1900 and in 1950.The Philadelphians selected are a political boss, Boies Penrose; a magazine mogul, Edward Bok; an elegant writer, Agnes Repplier; an impetuous diplomat, William C. Bullitt; a lawyer, George Wharton Pepper; a prophet of decline, Owen Wister; and a great art collector, Albert C. Barnes. The political boss was perhaps the most monumental political figure of his age. The magazine mogul was the most famous embodiment of the American success story during his lifetime. The now almost forgotten writer was the Jane Austen of the essay. The diplomat was the most brilliant of ambassadors. The terrible-tempered collector was a radical proponent of his unusual theory of art.Through these seven portraits, Lukacs paints a picture of Philadelphia that is "like all living things, having the power to change out of recognition and yet remain the same." This work is a must read for all historians and Philadelphians.
