- Summary:
- Blurring the traditional disciplinary boundaries of design history and political science, the contributors to The New Deal in South Florida examine the impact of a wide variety of New Deal projects on the region. They examine letters and photographs-many never before published-public murals, housing, parks, and architecture. In so doing, this book offers historians a new perspective on how Coral Gables, Miami Beach, and other communities were impacted by the New Deal programs.
