- Summary:
- Once upon a time, its was impossible to drive through the South without coming across signs to 'See Rock City' or similar tourist attractions. From battlgrounds to birthplaces, and sites in between, heritage tourism has always been part of how the South attracts visitors. This volume explores how the narrative of southern history told at these sites is often complicated by race, influenced by local politics, and shaped by competing memories.
