History, industry, and architecture come alive in this book documenting the six-year transformation of one of the Southeast's largest buildings into a mixed-use civic anchor in2016. The cavernous Sears, Roebuck and Company distribution and retail center, erected in 1925, was last used by the city's public works departments and stored countless items inside its 2.1 million square feet of space. An architect/photographer captured the viscera of the abandoned building, recording its various forms of construction and reconstruction, and finally its sparkling presence along the rail line that now serves as an urban corridor for bicyclists and joggers. The book includes an illustrated essay by historian Jerry Hancock--an expert on Sears's impact on the South--and a foreword by architectural historian Robert M. Craig. This book is a valuable resource for history and architecture buffs as well as municipalities contemplating the future of their own landmark industrial structures.

"Peach State has its origins in Atlanta, Georgia, the author's hometown and an emblematic city of the New South, a name that reflects the American region's invigoration in recent decades by immigration and a spirit of reinvention. Focused mainly on food and cooking, these poems explore the city's transformation from the mid-twentieth century to today, as seen and shaped by Chinese Americans. The poems are set in restaurants, home kitchens, grocery stores, and the houses of friends and neighbors. Often employing forms--sonnet, villanelle, sestina, palindrome, ghazal, rhymed stanzas--they also mirror the constant negotiation with tradition that marks both immigrant and Southern experience"--

Startled by rapid social changes at the turn of the twentieth century, citizens of Atlanta wrestled with fears about the future of race relations, the shape of gender roles, the impact of social class, and the meaning of regional identity in a New South. Gavin James Campbell demonstrates how these anxieties were played out in Atlanta's popular musical entertainment. Examining the period from 1890 to 1925, Campbell focuses on three popular musical institutions: the New York Metropolitan Opera (which visited Atlanta each year), the Colored Music Festival, and the Georgia Old-Time Fiddlers' Conve

La trilogie South de Mark Steinmetz est de retour. Le photographe et Nazraeli Press nous proposent ici une version “remasterisée”, cependant fidèle à l’originale, qui nous immerge dans l’univers de Steinmetz. Fasciné par l’histoire sociale de son pays, le voyage que nous offrent ces clichés nous amène dans la ceinture sud du Midwest, et s’étale sur plusieurs décennies. Steinmetz achève sa magistrale trilogie avec ce tome, qui fait co-exister les clichés pris entre les années 90 et 2000, sur la route qui le mena d’Athènes à Atlanta. On aura donc traversé ce témoignage du photographe sur la société américaine dans les visages et les autos, les animaux et les campagnes, les banlieues et les supérettes, les parkings et les instants de douceurs, les regards et les attentes. Un quotidien puissant et discret, très révélateur, probablement nourrissant le fantasme états-unien, et qui s’achève avec une dédicace à l’épopée, puisque Steinmetz est fils d’un immigré, venu conquérir ce pays il y a longtemps.
