Yet, a century ago, a surprising amount of beachfront property in the Chesapeake, along the Carolina shore, and around the Gulf of Mexico was owned and populated by African Americans. In a pathbreaking combination of social and environmental history, Andrew W. Kahrl shows how the rise and fall of Jim Crow and the growing prosperity of the Sunbelt have transformed both communities and ecosystems along the southern seaboard. Kahrl traces the history of these dynamic coastlines in all their incarnations, from unimproved marshlands to segregated beaches, from exclusive resorts for the black elite to campgrounds for religious revival. His careful reconstruction of African American life, labor, and leisure in small oceanside communities reveals the variety of ways African Americans pursued freedom and mobility through the land under their feet."--Publisher's website. 000459678 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000459678 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xLand tenure$$zSouthern States$$xHistory. 000459678 650_0 $$aLand tenure$$xSocial aspects$$zSouthern States$$xHistory. 000459678 650_0 $$aCoasts$$zSouthern States$$xHistory. 000459678 650_0 $$aCoasts$$xSocial aspects$$zSouthern States. 000459678 650_0 $$aCoasts$$xEconomic aspects$$zSouthern States. 000459678 650_0 $$aReal estate development$$zSouthern States$$xHistory. 000459678 650_0 $$aReal estate development$$xSocial aspects$$zSouthern States. 000459678 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKahrl, Andrew W., 1978-$$tLand was ours.$$dCambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press, 2012$$z9780674050471$$w(DLC) 2011029761$$w(OCoLC)743432403 000459678 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary Academic Complete 000459678 85280 $$bebk$$hHarvard University Press 000459678 85640 $$3Harvard University Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.4159/harvard.9780674065239$$zOnline Access 000459678 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:459678$$pGLOBAL_SET 000459678 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000459678 980__ $$aBIB 000459678 982__ $$aEbook 000459678 983__ $$aOnline
