Hannah Mary Tabbs and the Disembodied Torso: A Tale of Race, Sex, and Violence in America
In this slim volume with an attention-grabbing title, Kali Nicole Gross draws upon the sensationalism of a murder case from the 1880s to pull readers into a nuanced exploration of the meaning of race and gender in late nineteenth-century urban America. While it picks up on many of the themes of her earlier book, Colored Amazons (2006), this monograph will likely prove more accessible to nonspecialists as it focuses on the details of a single murd…

Hope and Danger in the New South City: Working-Class Women and Urban Development in Atlanta, 1890-1940
For Atlanta, the early decades of the twentieth century brought chaotic economic and demographic growth. Women - black and white - emerged as a visible new component of the city's population.

They were enthusiastic patrons of the city's new commercial amusements and the mothers of Atlanta's burgeoning working classes. In respo…

Southern Hospitality: Tourism and the Growth of Atlanta
This work shows how the cultural tradition of hospitality has encouraged the growth of Atlanta's convention and tourist industry and contributed to the city's rapid development. It concludes that people in central Atlanta - mostly African Americans - have not shared equally in the region's growth
Civilizing Capitalism: The National Consumers' League, Women's Activism, and Labor Standards in the New Deal Era
Civilizing Capitalism provides a valuable history of an organization that is often too readily dismissed in the years following the Progressive Era. Landon R. Y. Storrs chronicles the efforts of the National Consumers' League (NCL) to protect workers from the worst effects of industrialization during the 1930s. She knits the NCL's efforts in the South, a number of which were successful, into the story of national labor reform and deftly connects …
