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 delicate dance regarding race--one involving everything from cultural anxieties around tanning to a practical desire to tamp down the sort of racial conflict that might discourage tourism. Stanonis suggests that these negotiations were not always successful. Residents of the beach towns who did not profit from tourism and resented catering to outsiders' values, for example, sometimes struck back through acts of violence. Stanonis traces the rise of the infrastructure of tourism, the tensions of preserving the environment, and the development of a profitable industry in a clear and objective fashion. More importantly, he explores the complexities of race, ethnicity, sexuality, and the tensions between a resort's illegal underground and its 'family entertainment.' The text contains a breadth of archival sources--including the author's own personal collection. The sources blend the perspectives of boosters and developers with those of residents and tourists. Stanonis skillfully weaves the stories of actual people throughout the historical narrative he constructs, which makes the manuscript both more enjoyable and more relevant"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aPolitics and culture in the twentieth-century South. 606 $aLeisure$xPolitical aspects$zSouthern States$xHistory 606 $aTourism$xPolitical aspects$zSouthern States$xHistory 606 $aSeaside resorts$zSouthern States$xHistory 606 $aSocial change$zSouthern States$xHistory 607 $aSouthern States$xSocial conditions$y1865-1945 615 0$aLeisure$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aTourism$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aSeaside resorts$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory. 676 $a306.4/8120975 686 $aHIS036060$aSOC022000$2bisacsh 700 $aStanonis$b Anthony J$g(Anthony Joseph),$0941326 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788195403321 996 $aFaith in bikinis$93687297 997 $aUNINA
