Specificatii
The early decades of the twentieth century sparked the
Detroit-Windsor region's ascendancy as the busiest crossing point
between Canada and the United States, setting the stage for
socioeconomic developments that would link the border cities for
years to come. As Holly M. Karibo shows, this border fostered the
emergence of illegal industries alongside legal trade, rapid
industrial development, and tourism. Tracing the growth of the two
cities' cross-border prostitution and heroin markets in the late
1940s and the 1950s, Sin City North explores the social, legal, and
national boundaries that emerged there and their ramifications.In
bars, brothels, and dance halls, Canadians and Americans were
united in their desire to cross racial, sexual, and legal lines in
the border cities. Yet the increasing visibility of illicit
economies on city streets--and the growing number of African
American and French Canadian women working in illegal
trades--provoked the ire of moral reformers who mobilized to
eliminate them from their communities. This valuable study
demonstrates that struggles over the meaning of vice evolved beyond
definitions of legality; they were also crucial avenues for
residents attempting to define productive citizenship and community
in this postwar urban borderland.
