1991réf. vot888Jacksonville: University of North Florida Press 1991. First Edition. Octavo russet cloth hardcover x 193 pp. Very Good with former-owner signature a well-known author Ray Arsenault; in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: This first modern study of the history of Jacksonville in the Progressive Era recounts a tale of two cities. in the first third of the twentieth century a prospering white Jacksonville dominated the urban landscape of Florida and influences state politics. At the same time an oppressed black Jacksonville half of the city’s population lived in poverty. Between the Great Fire of 1901 and the beginning of World War I Jacksonville was transformed from a tourist outpost on the Florida frontier to a substantial city of the New South. With thorough command of the historical literature of the period Crooks addresses such issues as the increasing roles of local state and federal governments in the building the city; the part played by the private sector especially the business community middle-class women and blacks; and the threat to traditional religious values posed by a new popular culture. As the tale unfolds Crooks writes that Jacksonville emerged as “a metropolis with downtown skyscrapers suburban development and a thriving commerce which largely benefited its white population.” In the end white Jacksonville residents preside over the action. They welcome economic development accept -- within limits -- new cultural forms and suppress blacks a trend that continued into the 1960s. Scholars of Florida and southern history will read this story as a case study of the impact of urbanization on medium-sized cities between 1900 and 1920. University of North Florida Press, (1991).
