A Golden Haze of Memory: The Making of Historic CharlestonEntry/Object ID
2007.009.1Description
A look back to and critique of the crucial period between 1920 and 1940 when local [white] leaders developed Charleston's trademark image as "America's Most Historic City," and translated their selective personal, familial, and class memories into a collective identity for the city. Yuhl posits that while these individuals created a vibrant network of artists and organizations and nurtured architectural preservation and tourism, they at the same time appropriated African American folk culture and presented a sanitized version of history.
Chapters include: A golden haze of memory and association : the creation of a historic Charleston landscape -- The legend is truer than the fact : artistic representations of race, time, and place -- History touches legend in Charleston : the literary packaging of America’s most historic city -- Here came remembrance : staging race and performing the past -- Where mellow past and present meet : selling history by the sea.
