Specificatii
From 1897 to 1917 the red-light district of Storyville
commercialized and even thrived on New Orleans's longstanding
reputation for sin and sexual excess. This notorious neighborhood,
located just outside of the French Quarter, hosted a diverse cast
of characters who reflected the cultural milieu and complex social
structure of turn-of-the-century New Orleans, a city infamous for
both prostitution and interracial intimacy. In particular, Lulu
White--a mixed-race prostitute and madam--created an image of
herself and marketed it profitably to sell sex with light-skinned
women to white men of means. In Spectacular Wickedness, Emily
Epstein Landau examines the social history of this famed district
within the cultural context of developing racial, sexual, and
gender ideologies and practices.Storyville's founding was
envisioned as a reform measure, an effort by the city's business
elite to curb and contain prostitution--namely, to segregate it. In
1890, the Louisiana legislature passed the Separate Car Act, which,
when challenged by New Orleans's Creoles of color, led to the
landmark Plessy v. Ferguson decision in 1896, constitutionally
sanctioning the enactment of separate but equal laws. The
concurrent partitioning of both prostitutes and blacks worked only
to reinforce Storyville's libidinous license and turned sex across
the color line into a more lucrative commodity. By looking at
prostitution through the lens of patriarchy and demonstrating how
gendered racial ideologies proved crucial to the remaking of
southern society in the aftermath of the Civil War, Landau reveals
how Storyville's salacious and eccentric subculture played a
significant role in the way New Orleans constructed itself during
the New South era.
