Southern Hospitality: Tourism and the Growth of Atlanta

Description

Harvey Newman finds that the international attention Atlanta enjoys because of its recent hosting of the Olympics is actually the culmination of a tradition of boosterism that dates back to antebellum times and the central place of hospitality within southern culture. Newman’s study considers how social forces, historic events, and major entrepreneurs have influenced Atlanta’s commercial development. Throughout the city’s history, Newman observes, the value of southern hospitality has ensured ongoing support for efforts to develop hospitality as a commercial enterprise. Newman calls particular attention to how issues of race, gender, ethnicity, and class have affected the development of the Atlanta hospitality industry. African Americans traditionally provided much of the labor for the industry, first as slaves who cooked, cleaned, carried bags, and shined shoes at railroad inns and later as workers in the restaurants and hotels established in the central city. Segregation led African Americans to develop their own commercial areas and business districts.
