Aaron Cowan. A Nice Place to Visit
In A Nice Place to Visit: Tourism and Urban Revitalization in the Postwar Rustbelt, Aaron Cowan focuses on hotel openings in Cincinnati, Ohio, convention center development in St. Louis, Missouri, stadium construction in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and harbor renovation in Baltimore, Maryland, to reveal “how tourism gained a central role in the post–World War II American city and how tourism development reshaped cities and altered their meaning and…
Working in the Big Easy

Faith in Bikinis
This is a study of six beach resort communities on the U.S. South's Atlantic and Gulf coasts: Galveston, Biloxi, Panama City, St. Augustine, Myrtle Beach, and Virginia Beach. As these cities became leisure destinations in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Anthony Stanonis argues, they were forced to balance the competing demands of modernizing consumer culture and Southern traditionalism. They also participated in an especially d…
Tropical Whites
Touring Beyond the Nation
Essay collections, when compiled as cogently as this volume by Eric G.E. Zuelow, provide fresh perspectives on well-explored historical narratives. In his excellent introduction surveying the existing literature, Zuelow criticises the ‘fairly Anglocentric’ historiography in which concerns over ‘social class’ have dominated discourse (p. 3). Tourism studies over the past twenty years, when the field first emerged as a major focus of analysis, have…
Sunshine Paradise
Scholars over the past decade have interrogated tourism and promoters’ manipulation of historical memory. The maturity of this subfield has provided fertile ground for Tracy J. Revels’s much-welcomed, concise survey of Florida tourism from the days of Ponce de León to the present. Revels provides a highly readable and witty study that focuses on the types of vacationers and promoters who defined eras in the evolution of Florida tourism. For Revel…
New Orleans' Rebirth
Beyond the Alamo
"Beyond the Alamo: Forging Mexican Ethnicity in San Antonio, 1821-1861, by Raúl A. Ramos.." Canadian Journal of History, 44(1), pp. 145–146
Femininity in Flight
Creating the Big Easy
Between the World Wars, New Orleans transformed its image from a corrupt and sullied port of call into a national tourist destination. Anthony J. Stanonis 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. Stanonis looks at the importance of urban development, historic preservation, taxation strategies…
