The price we pay for progress -- Epilogue. 520 The coasts of today's American South feature luxury condominiums, resorts, and gated communities, yet just a century ago, a surprising amount of beachfront property in the Chesapeake, along the Carolina shores, and around the Gulf of Mexico was owned and populated by African Americans. Blending social and environmental history, Andrew W. Kahrl tells the story of African American-owned beaches in the twentieth century. By reconstructing African American life along the coast, Kahrl demonstrates just how important these properties were for African American communities and leisure, as well as for economic empowerment, especially during the era of the Jim Crow South. However, in the wake of the civil rights movement and amid the growing prosperity of the Sunbelt, many African Americans fell victim to effective campaigns to dispossess black landowners of their properties and beaches. Kahrl makes a signal contribution to our understanding of African American landowners and real- estate developers, as well as the development of coastal capitalism along the southern seaboard, tying the creation of overdeveloped, unsustainable coastlines to the unmaking of black communities and cultures along the shore. The result is a skillful appraisal of the ambiguous legacy of racial progress in the Sunbelt. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed August 10, 2016). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 African Americans|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85001932|xLand tenure|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00006381|zSouthern States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85125633-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Land tenure|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85074312|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh00002758|zSouthern States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85125633-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Coasts|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85027443 |zSouthern States|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85125633-781|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Coasts|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85027443 |xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh00002758|zSouthern States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85125633-781 650 0 Coasts|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85027443 |xEconomic aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005484|zSouthern States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85125633-781 650 0 Real estate development|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85111717|zSouthern States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85125633-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Real estate development|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85111717|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00002758|zSouthern States.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125633-781 650 7 African Americans|xLand tenure.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/799629 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 African Americans.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 799558 650 7 Land tenure|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/991409 650 7 Land tenure.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/991362 650 7 Coasts.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/865801 650 7 Coasts|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/865822 650 7 Coasts|xEconomic aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/865804 650 7 Real estate development.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1090973 650 7 Real estate development|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1091010 651 7 Southern States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1244550 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1222247|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
