In the decade that followed, the city created the first urban public school system in the United States to be entirely contracted out to private management. Veteran educators, collectively referred to as the \"backbone\" of the city's Black middle class, were replaced by younger, less experienced, white teachers who lacked historical ties to the city. In \u003ci\u003eA Burdensome Experiment\u003c\/i\u003e, Christien Philmarc Tompkins argues that the privatization of New Orleans schools has made educators into a new kind of racialized worker. As school districts across the nation backslide on school integration, Tompkins asks, who exactly deserves to teach our children? The struggle over this question exposes the inherent antiblackness of charter school systems and the unequal burdens of school choice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are inundated with books extolling the virtues of charter schools or excoriating the neoliberal turn in public education without ever telling us what happens in these schools. \u003ci\u003eA Burdensome Experiment\u003c\/i\u003e is a rare and brilliant exception. Drawing on rich ethnographic research, Christien Philmarc Tompkins interrogates how charter schools in post-Katrina New Orleans have reshaped educational labor in the context of neoliberalism, systemic racism shrouded by post-racial conceits, new pedagogical strategies, and the struggles of students, teachers, and parents over the purpose of schooling. Anyone committed to creating liberatory models of education must read this book, not because it has all the answers but because it asks the right questions, with care and humility. And isn't that what great teachers do?--Robin D. G. Kelley, Distinguished Professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in US History, University of California, Los Angeles \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"From the heartbreak of veteran Black teachers made strangers in their own city to the hubris of transplanted educators who see New Orleans as grist for their own good works, Tompkins's trenchant labor ethnography goes beyond 'what works' in urban schools to attend to a city still reeling from the institutional violence of post-Katrina school reform.\"--Savannah Shange, author of \u003ci\u003eProgressive Dystopia: Abolition, Antiblackness, and Schooling in San Francisco\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Theoretically precise and powerfully personal, this ethnographic analysis of the top-to-bottom transformation of the New Orleans school system post-Katrina tracks the dismantling of neighborhood schools as the outcome of neoliberal capitalism, design thinking, and the always-present workings of racial inequality.

Conceived as part of an ambitious effort to revitalize a dilapidated section of the city and establish New Orleans as a year-round tourist destination, it took more than 12 years of political intrigue and design changes before the gates finally opened. Stretching 84 acres along the Mississippi River, the fair entertained more than seven million guests with a colorful collection of pavilions, rides, and restaurants during its six-month run. While most world's fairs lose money, the 1984 New Orleans World's Fair had the dubious distinction of going bankrupt and almost closing early. However, the $350-million investment did succeed in bringing new life to the area, which is now home to the city's convention center and a bustling arts district.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 31, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50437837652218,"sku":"9781531645106","price":34.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/4638\/4122\/files\/UhmpGIsAHt9781531645106.webp?v=1789534253"},{"product_id":"authentic-new-orleans-tourism-culture-and-race-in-the-big-easy-hardcover","title":"Authentic New Orleans: Tourism, Culture, and Race in the Big Easy - Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eKevin Fox Gotham\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHonorable Mention for the 2008 Robert Park Outstanding Book Award given by the ASA's Community and Urban Sociology Section\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMardi Gras, jazz, voodoo, gumbo, Bourbon Street, the French Quarter--all evoke that place that is unlike any other: New Orleans. In \u003cb\u003eAuthentic New Orleans\u003c\/b\u003e, Kevin Fox Gotham explains how New Orleans became a tourist town, a spectacular locale known as much for its excesses as for its quirky Southern charm.\u003cbr\u003eGotham begins in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina amid the whirlwind of speculation about the rebuilding of the city and the dread of outsiders wiping New Orleans clean of the grit that made it great. He continues with the origins of Carnival and the Mardi Gras celebration in the nineteenth century, showing how, through careful planning and promotion, the city constructed itself as a major tourist attraction. By examining various image-building campaigns and promotional strategies to disseminate a palatable image of New Orleans on a national scale Gotham ultimately establishes New Orleans as one of the originators of the mass tourism industry--which linked leisure to travel, promoted international expositions, and developed the concept of pleasure travel.\u003cbr\u003eGotham shows how New Orleans was able to become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States, especially through the transformation of Mardi Gras into a national, even international, event. All the while Gotham is concerned with showing the difference between tourism from above and tourism from below--that is, how New Orleans' distinctiveness is both maximized, some might say exploited, to serve the global economy of tourism as well as how local groups and individuals use tourism to preserve and anchor longstanding communal traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 8.97 x 6.56 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50437837717754,"sku":"9780814731857","price":192.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/4638\/4122\/files\/eXIRqc0qOm9780814731857.webp?v=1789534253"},{"product_id":"a-black-patriot-and-a-white-priest-andre-cailloux-and-claude-paschal-maistre-in-civil-war-new-orleans-paperback","title":"A Black Patriot and a White Priest: André Cailloux and Claude Paschal Maistre in Civil War New Orleans - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eStephen J.

Their paths converged on a humid day in July 1863, when Maistre, in defiance of his archbishop, officiated at a large public military funeral for Cailloux, who had perished while courageously leading a doomed charge against the Confederate bastion of Port Hudson.

In death, Cailloux became a powerful mythic symbol of heroism and freedom for Afro-Creole and English-speaking blacks, as well as for their white radical allies -- such as the French-born Father Maistre -- who regularly invoked his memory in their campaigns for emancipation, suffrage, and civil rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe enigmatic Father Maistre, a maverick throughout his priestly career, allied himself with the cause of Afro-Creole radicalism and prodded his church to do more on behalf of black Catholics. Suspended by Archbishop Jean-Marie Odin for his outspokenabolitionism, Maistre defiantly maintained a schismatic parish for seven years and publicly supported Radical Reconstruction until his submission to a new archbishop in 1870.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining social, African American, Civil War, and church history, A Black Patriot and a White Priest provides a vivid picture of antebellum Afro-Creole society, of the black military experience, and of the complex relationship between Afro-Creoles and Roman Catholicism. It illustrates how the crisis of war transformed two relatively common men into symbols of freedom and hope for people of color and of dangerous radicalism for many whites. Both Cailloux and Maistre paid dearly for their efforts on behalf of racial justice, but they helped foster an Afro-Creole protest tradition that would that would plant the seeds of a later, more successful Second Reconstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen J.

In \u003ci\u003eAmerican Indians in Early New Orleans, \u003c\/i\u003e Daniel H. Usner lays to rest assumptions that American Indian communities vanished long ago from urban south Louisiana and recovers the experiences of Native Americans in Old New Orleans from their perspective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCenturies before the arrival of Europeans, American Indians controlled the narrow strip of land between the Mississippi River and present-day Lake Pontchartrain to transport goods, harvest resources, and perform rituals. The birth and growth of colonial New Orleans depended upon the materials and services provided by Native inhabitants as liaisons, traders, soldiers, and even slaves. Despite losing much of their homeland and political power after the Louisiana Purchase, Lower Mississippi Valley Indians refused to retreat from New Orleans's streets and markets; throughout the 1800s, Choctaw and other nearby communities improvised ways of expressing their cultural autonomy and economic interests--as peddlers, laborers, and performers--in the face of prejudice and hostility from non-Indian residents. Numerous other American Indian tribes, forcibly removed from the southeastern United States, underwent a painful passage through the city before being transported farther up the Mississippi River. At the dawn of the twentieth century, a few Indian communities on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain continued to maintain their creative relationship with New Orleans by regularly vending crafts and plants in the French Market. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this groundbreaking narrative, Usner explores the array of ways that Native people used this river port city, from its founding to the World War I era, and demonstrates their crucial role in New Orleans's history.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn and raised in New Orleans, Daniel H.

It has also long been a site of some of the most intense racially based medical inequities in the United States. Kevin McQueeney traces that inequity from the city's founding in the early eighteenth century through three centuries to the present. He argues that racist health disparities emerged as a key component of the city's slave-based economy and quickly became institutionalized with the end of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow. McQueeney also shows that, despite legislation and court victories in the civil rights era, a segregated health care system still exists today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to charting this history of neglect, McQueeney also suggests pathways to fix the deeply entrenched inequities, taking inspiration from the \"long civil rights\" framework and reconstructing the fight for improved health and access to care that started long before the boycotts, sit-ins, and marches of the 1950s and 1960s. In telling the history of how New Orleans has treated its Black citizens in its hospitals, McQueeney uncovers the broader story of how urban centers across the country have ignored Black Americans and their health needs for the entire history of the nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKevin McQueeney is assistant professor of history at Nicholls State University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 286\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 02, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50437838078202,"sku":"9781469673912","price":178.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/4638\/4122\/files\/qLsJ_ewE3J9781469673912.webp?v=1789534258"},{"product_id":"a-luminous-brotherhood-afro-creole-spiritualism-in-nineteenth-century-new-orleans-paperback","title":"A Luminous Brotherhood: Afro-Creole Spiritualism in Nineteenth-Century New Orleans - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eEmily Suzanne Clark\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the midst of a nineteenth-century boom in spiritual experimentation, the Cercle Harmonique, a remarkable group of African-descended men, practiced Spiritualism in heavily Catholic New Orleans from just before the Civil War to the end of Reconstruction. In this first comprehensive history of the Cercle, Emily Suzanne Clark illuminates how highly diverse religious practices wind in significant ways through American life, culture, and history. Clark shows that the beliefs and practices of Spiritualism helped Afro-Creoles mediate the political and social changes in New Orleans, as free blacks suffered increasingly restrictive laws and then met with violent resistance to suffrage and racial equality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on fascinating records of actual séance practices, the lives of the mediums, and larger citywide and national contexts, Clark reveals how the messages that the Cercle received from the spirit world offered its members rich religious experiences as well as a forum for political activism inspired by republican ideals. Messages from departed souls including François Rabelais, Abraham Lincoln, John Brown, Robert E. Lee, Emanuel Swedenborg, and even Confucius discussed government structures, the moral progress of humanity, and equality. The Afro-Creole Spiritualists were encouraged to continue struggling for justice in a new world where \"bright\" spirits would replace raced bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 9.46 x 7.75 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50437838110970,"sku":"9781469645650","price":52.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/4638\/4122\/files\/YwzWDGz0Y9781469645650.webp?v=1789534258"},{"product_id":"avoyelleans-at-the-battle-of-new-orleans-and-in-the-war-of-1812-french-creole-soldiers-of-avoyelles-parish-who-fought-in-the-second-american-war-agai-paperback","title":"Avoyelleans at The Battle of New Orleans and in the War of 1812: French Creole soldiers of Avoyelles Parish who fought in the second American war agai - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eRandy Paul Decuir\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBICENTENNIAL of THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS SERIES Avoyelles, one of the original parishes created of Louisiana, had only been part of the United States for less than a decade when the War of 1812 broke out. Most of the men of Avoyelles who went down to New Orleans to fight under Andrew Jackson were French Creoles, who only spoke French, and had been born as citizens of Spain or France. Yet they were loyal to this new country which had come in and purchased Louisiana in 1803. Many were the sons of French speaking Spanish soldiers who fought under Galvez to defend the British in Baton Rouge and New Orleans during the Revolutionary War in the 1780s. Now the British had returned to Louisiana and the Avoyelles men volunteered, picking up their arms and making their way to New Orleans for the famous Battle of New Orleans. Most of the veterans in Avoyelles who served in New Orleans were in the 17th, 18th, and 19th Consolidated Louisiana Militia. There were other veterans living in Avoyelles after the war who had moved in from other states and had served in the War of 1812 on the Eastern seaboard.

She attended the New Orleans Public School System and received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Education from Dillard University. Upon graduation, she began teaching in the New Orleans Public School System. Karen developed a love for writing in the third grade when she won her first poetry contest. She returned to school and received her Master's Degree from Xavier University of New Orleans. Like so many residents of the city, she and her family were relocated by Hurricane Katrina. Though she resides and teaches in Fort Worth, Texas, her heart and soul belong to the magical city where she grew up. It is her love for the city that inspired this book. It is dedicated to my grandbabies Jade, Naiyah, and Nasir Blanchard who are Texans and who will never know my New Orleans. It's for the generation of babies whose parents for whatever reason didn't return to our fair city. Last but not least for those, \"who know what it means to miss New Orleans.\" Laissez les bons temps rouler (let the good times roll). Brandon was born and raised in the city of New Orleans.

It has also long been a site of some of the most intense racially based medical inequities in the United States. Kevin McQueeney traces that inequity from the city's founding in the early eighteenth century through three centuries to the present. He argues that racist health disparities emerged as a key component of the city's slave-based economy and quickly became institutionalized with the end of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow. McQueeney also shows that, despite legislation and court victories in the civil rights era, a segregated health care system still exists today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to charting this history of neglect, McQueeney also suggests pathways to fix the deeply entrenched inequities, taking inspiration from the \"long civil rights\" framework and reconstructing the fight for improved health and access to care that started long before the boycotts, sit-ins, and marches of the 1950s and 1960s. In telling the history of how New Orleans has treated its Black citizens in its hospitals, McQueeney uncovers the broader story of how urban centers across the country have ignored Black Americans and their health needs for the entire history of the nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKevin McQueeney is assistant professor of history at Nicholls State University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 286\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 02, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50437838307578,"sku":"9781469673929","price":52.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/4638\/4122\/files\/s9uBgiLfZh9781469673929.webp?v=1789534260"},{"product_id":"200-years-of-new-orleans-cooking-paperback","title":"200 Years of New Orleans Cooking - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eNatalie Scott\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this delightful cookbook, Natalie V.

And then if you go there, to see how many things the child recognizes, and how many more things he or she can discover. Travel is, after all, an exploration. And each place you visit has its own feel, its very own personality. If travel is to be memorable, then you need to remember its feel!

Interracial friction, nativism, Jim Crow separatism, the hippie movement--Mitchell illuminates the expression of these and other American themes in events ranging from the 1901 formation of the anti-prohibitionist Carrie Nation Club to the controversial 1991 ordinance desegregating Carnival parade krewes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough the conflicts, Mitchell asserts, \"I see in Mardi Gras much what I hear in a really good jazz band: a model for the just society, the joyous community, the heavenly city...A model for community where individual expression is the basis for social harmony and where continuity is the basis for creativity.\" \u003ci\u003eAll on a Mardi Gras Day\u003c\/i\u003e journeys into a world where hope persists for a rare balance between diversity and unity.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 9.2 x 6.05 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50437838471418,"sku":"9780674016231","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/4638\/4122\/files\/oWwO1jTU6b9780674016231.webp?v=1789534261"},{"product_id":"an-absolute-massacre-the-new-orleans-race-riot-of-july-30-1866-paperback","title":"An Absolute Massacre: The New Orleans Race Riot of July 30, 1866 - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eJames G.

Craig E. Colten traces engineered modifications to New Orleans's natural environment from 1800 to 2000 and demonstrates that, though all cities must contend with their physical settings, New Orleans may be the city most dependent on human-induced transformations of its precarious site. In a new preface, Colten shows how Hurricane Katrina exemplifies the inability of human artifice to exclude nature from cities and he urges city planners to keep the environment in mind as they contemplate New Orleans's future. Urban geographers frequently have portrayed cities as the antithesis of nature, but in An Unnatural Metropolis, Colten introduces a critical environmental perspective to the history of urban areas. His amply illustrated work offers an in-depth look at a city and society uniquely shaped by the natural forces it has sought to harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCraig E.

New Orleans faced a daunting reconstruction after having endured one of the worst storms ever on record in 2005. Hurricane Katrina caused levees to fail, releasing billions of gallons of water throughout New Orleans and surrounding parishes. The catastrophic flooding destroyed or damaged over 200,000 homes and displaced more than 800,000 citizens. Fourteen years after the storm, there are still thousands of abandoned properties across the city. As the neighborhoods rebuild, many historic structures become renovated, demolished, or simply forgotten. In Abandoned New Orleans, photographer Leland Kent provides an extraordinary look at eight historic and abandoned locations. From a hospital where patients and staff were trapped during the storm, to a long forgotten Nazi internment camp, and the first high school built for African-American students. Each chapter gives an in-depth look at these places accompanied by a gallery of stunning imagery.

He describes the impact of floods, disease, and changing technologies on New Orleans's interactions with the Mississippi. Considering how the city grew distant-culturally and spatially-from the river, this book argues that urban areas provide a rich source for understanding people's connections with nature, and in turn, nature's impact on human history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew Orleans' Mississippi levee, as Kelman explains in this fascinating study, is more than a pile of dirt.

In \u003cb\u003eAuthentic New Orleans\u003c\/b\u003e, Kevin Fox Gotham explains how New Orleans became a tourist town, a spectacular locale known as much for its excesses as for its quirky Southern charm.\u003cbr\u003eGotham begins in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina amid the whirlwind of speculation about the rebuilding of the city and the dread of outsiders wiping New Orleans clean of the grit that made it great. He continues with the origins of Carnival and the Mardi Gras celebration in the nineteenth century, showing how, through careful planning and promotion, the city constructed itself as a major tourist attraction. By examining various image-building campaigns and promotional strategies to disseminate a palatable image of New Orleans on a national scale Gotham ultimately establishes New Orleans as one of the originators of the mass tourism industry--which linked leisure to travel, promoted international expositions, and developed the concept of pleasure travel.\u003cbr\u003eGotham shows how New Orleans was able to become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States, especially through the transformation of Mardi Gras into a national, even international, event. All the while Gotham is concerned with showing the difference between tourism from above and tourism from below--that is, how New Orleans' distinctiveness is both maximized, some might say exploited, to serve the global economy of tourism as well as how local groups and individuals use tourism to preserve and anchor longstanding communal traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.95 x 6.07 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50437838799098,"sku":"9780814731864","price":61.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/4638\/4122\/files\/GDEboxlj0x9780814731864.webp?v=1789534267"},{"product_id":"anne-rices-unauthorized-french-quarter-tour-anne-rices-new-orleans-paperback","title":"Anne Rice's Unauthorized French Quarter Tour: Anne Rice's New Orleans - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eLisa Beaumont\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnne Rice Unauthorized Tours takes you to the places Anne Rice mentioned in the Mayfair Witches and Vampire chronicles.
