Book Synopsis Globalization and the City by : Collectif
Download or read book Globalization and the City written by Collectif and published by innsbruck University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world today is far less a global village than a “global city”, as global network of multidimensional urban spaces of congestion prominently forming – and also formed by – globalization. But the relevance of cities is nothing but new. They were essential for culture and civilization worldwide, they allowed a centralization of power and knowledge and they were crucial for the division of labor and for the organization of mass demand. Further, as places of intense and continuous interactions, cities are the locations par excellence for global history to take place. Thus, there is a need to study the history of cities in connection with the history of globalization from this perspective. This book is dedicated to contribute to the still underdeveloped but growing literature connecting the history of cities worldwide and their relation to global processes. The authors do so from various disciplinary backgrounds and by referring to different times and places. We visit ancient Alexandria, nineteenth century Zanzibar, and modern-day São Paolo, among others, and we view these cities not only in their globality, but also through their heritage, their economic relevance, their architecture, or financial flows connecting them. Further, the book also contains systematic considerations about “global city”, especially the general role of cities in development, cities in global history teaching, and cities' relationships to global commodity chains.

Book Synopsis New Orleans Cabildo by : Gilbert C. Din
Download or read book New Orleans Cabildo written by Gilbert C. Din and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1996-07-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cabildo -- New Orleans' unique Spanish city government -- touched the life of every citizen of the city during its thirty-four years of existence, and its decisions often had an impact on the administration of Louisiana far beyond the confines of New Orleans itself. Moreover, its archival records, with lavish and detailed information about every aspect of life within Spanish New Orleans, are the richest of any city in the Spanish Borderlands. Yet curiously, until now there has been no thorough analysis of this influential institution.In The New Orleans Cabildo, Gilbert C. Din and John E. Harkins have filled that scholarly gap and made a significant contribution to our understanding of the Spanish hegemony in Louisiana. New Orleans, which had been a small, isolated, and insignificant town under the French grew to be a thriving center of trade, communications, and economic activity under Spanish rule. Din and Harkins examine the offices and personnel of the Cabildo and explore its vast responsibilities in the areas of justice, medicine and health, public works, land grants and building regulations, ceremonial and liaison duties, regulation of markets and food prices, and treatment of slaves and free blacks, among others. They also review the difficulties encountered by the Cabildo and the ways it responded to the city's -- and the colony's -- economic, legal, social, and military problems.Through careful and thoughtful utilization of documents from archives in Louisiana and Spain -- particularly minutes from the Cabildo meetings -- Din and Harkins have produced in The New Orleans Cabildo a model history of a complex and all-encompassing institution.

ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF THE SUGAR INDUSTRY OF LOUISIANA. By Dr. W. C. Stubbs. NO HISTORY of New Orleans would be complete without a chapter upon Louisiana's chief industry, an industry which has contributed so largely to the upbuilding of this great city. Startingwith De Bore's first commercial crop in 1795, grown upon the grounds of the present Audubon Park, now well within the city limits, the sugar industry of Louisiana has expanded, despite the many serious obstacles it lias encountered, until to-day it occupies nearly the entire area between Lake Ponchartrain on the east, Vermillion River on the west, Alexandria on the north, and the Gulf of Mexico on the south. From De Bora's first crop of $12,000, the annual output has grown in value well up into the millions. If the present prospects for the crop of 1900 be realized, and the present prices for sugar be maintained, thirty-five millions of dollars will probably be required this year to market the output of our sugar houses. De Bore's small sugar house, with its horse mill and iron kettles, has been supplanted by the modern central factory, with its ponderous mills or diffusion batteries, with improved clarifiers and vacuum effects, with immense vacuum pans and capacious centrifugals. Once the horses and oxen propelling the mills were supported by the tops of the cane; to-day the great boilers which furnish the steam to turn the mighty rolls, and to evaporate the tons of water from the extracted juice, are fed mainly with the refuse of the cane (bagasse), which their own force has created. So great has been the change from the original sugar house, to one of our modern central factories, that De Bore himself, could he again revisit his much-loved State, would not...

Book Synopsis New Orleans and the Creation of Transatlantic Opera by : Charlotte Bentley
Download or read book New Orleans and the Creation of Transatlantic Opera written by Charlotte Bentley and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of nineteenth-century New Orleans and the people who made it a vital, if unexpected, part of an emerging operatic world. New Orleans and the Creation of Transatlantic Opera, 1819–1859 explores the thriving operatic life of New Orleans in the first half of the nineteenth century, drawing out the transatlantic connections that animated it. By focusing on a variety of individuals, their extended webs of human contacts, and the materials that they moved along with them, this book pieces together what it took to bring opera to New Orleans and the ways in which the city’s operatic life shaped contemporary perceptions of global interconnection. The early chapters explore the process of bringing opera to the stage, taking a detailed look at the management of New Orleans’s Francophone theater, the Théâtre d’Orléans, as well as the performers who came to the city and the reception they received. But opera’s significance was not confined to the theater, and later chapters of the book examine how opera permeated everyday life in New Orleans, through popular sheet music, novels, magazines and visual culture, and dancing in its many ballrooms. Just as New Orleans helped to create transatlantic opera, opera in turn helped to create the city of New Orleans.

Book Synopsis They Called Us River Rats by : Macon Fry
Download or read book They Called Us River Rats written by Macon Fry and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They Called Us River Rats: The Last Batture Settlement of New Orleans is the previously untold story of perhaps the oldest outsider settlement in America, an invisible community on the annually flooded shores of the Mississippi River. This community exists in the place between the normal high and low water line of the Mississippi River, a zone known in Louisiana as the batture. For the better part of two centuries, batture dwellers such as Macon Fry have raised shantyboats on stilts, built water-adapted homes, foraged, fished, and survived using the skills a river teaches. Until now the stories of this way of life have existed only in the memories of those who have lived here. Beginning in 2000, Fry set about recording the stories of all the old batture dwellers he could find: maritime workers, willow furniture makers, fishermen, artists, and river shrimpers. Along the way, Fry uncovered fascinating tales of fortune tellers, faith healers, and wild bird trappers who defiantly lived on the river. They Called Us River Rats also explores the troubled relationship between people inside the levees, the often-reviled batture folks, and the river itself. It traces the struggle between batture folks and city authorities, the commercial interests that claimed the river, and Louisiana’s most powerful politicians. These conflicts have ended in legal battles, displacement, incarceration, and even lynching. Today Fry is among the senior generation of “River Rats” living in a vestigial colony of twelve “camps” on New Orleans’s river batture, a fragment of a settlement that once stretched nearly six miles and numbered hundreds of homes. It is the last riparian settlement on the Lower Mississippi and a contrarian, independent life outside urban zoning, planning, and flood protection. This book is for everyone who ever felt the pull of the Mississippi River or saw its towering levees and wondered who could live on the other side.
