Thesis (Ph.D.)--Emory University, 2005.

With the rise of heritage tourism, New Orleans has joined other cities in presenting a more racially inclusive representation of the past. Nevertheless, the city's attempt to balance place promotion and revisionist history ultimately fails because the tourism narrative reinforces persistent racial stereotypes.

520 $a With the rise of heritage tourism, New Orleans has joined other cities in presenting a more racially inclusive representation of the past. Nevertheless, the city's attempt to balance place promotion and revisionist history ultimately fails because the tourism narrative reinforces persistent racial stereotypes.
520 $a These competing tourism impulses are manifest in the depiction of race in New Orleans tourist brochures, web sites, advertisements, and heritage tours. The designation of former slave quarters as "chic" and "quaint" and the sale, display, and dispersal of an array of stereotypical slavery images and reproduced artifacts contribute to a disturbing tourist landscape that perpetuates the trivialization of black contributions to southern history.
520 $a "Le Monde Creole," (LMC) a French Quarter walking tour that attempts to rewrite this tourism narrative, also re-inscribes the myth of the Old South by using its black characters to perpetuate stereotypes of tragic mulattoes and loyal, content slaves and presenting white characters as either villainous slave traders or benevolent masters. This disjuncture within LMC parallels the schism inherent in New Orleans' contemporary tourism narrative, which promotes the city as distinct from the rest of the South, while connecting it through imagery and rhetoric to the myth of the Old South.
520 $a A comparison between LMC and George Washington Cable's 1880 novel The Grandissimes (Grand) suggests that New Orleans' identity is so inextricably linked to these racial fictions that efforts at sustained critique are largely unsuccessful. Grand marks one of the earliest attempts and failures to challenge the idea of New Orleans as a site of racial romanticism. In the end, the novel's black characters function more to illuminate its white characters than to represent the complexity and humanity of blacks in New Orleans.
520 $a The emergence of black heritage tourism has also signified a direct challenge to prevailing historical and contemporary tourism narratives of New Orleans. Yet, because of inequalities in marketing, capital, and access, the city's black heritage tours and sites are largely ephemeral and marginal to the overarching tourism narrative and, therefore, do not supplant a persistent iconography of tourism.
