Creating the Big Easy

New Orleans and the Emergence of Modern Tourism, 1918-1945

Beschreibung

Between the World Wars, New Orleans transformed its image from a corrupt and sullied port of call into a national tourist destination. The author tells how boosters and politicians reinvented the city to build a modern mass tourism industry and, along the way, fundamentally changed the city's cultural, economic, racial, and gender structure.
