From 1897 to 1917, Storyville — New Orleans's legally sanctioned red-light district just outside the French Quarter — was home to a cast of characters that reflected the city's complex racial and social order. Emily Epstein Landau examines Storyville's social history through the lens of patriarchy and gendered racial ideology, revealing how the district's subculture shaped New Orleans's identity in the New South era following the Civil War.
A rigorous and revealing work of southern history.
