'Roots Run Deep Here': The Construction Of Black New Orleans In Post-Katrina Tourism Narratives, Lynnell L. Thomas
'Roots Run Deep Here': The Construction Of Black New Orleans In Post-Katrina Tourism Narratives, Lynnell L. Thomas
American Studies Faculty Publication Series
This article explores the emergent post-Katrina tourism narrative and its ambivalent racialization of the city. Tourism officials are compelled to acknowledge a New Orleans outside the traditional tourist boundaries – primarily black, often poor, and still largely neglected by the city and national governments. On the other hand, tourism promoters do not relinquish (and do not allow tourists to relinquish) the myths of racial exoticism and white supremacist desire for a construction of blacks as artistically talented but socially inferior.

Racing Jesse Jackson: Leadership, Masculinity, And The Black Presidency, Paul Achter
Rhetoric and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

The survey was prompted by the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s attempt to become the first black, Democratic nominee for president.
A news story exploring the prevalence of white racism in the United States was not uncommon …
