In an age of empire and industry, southerners grappled with what it meant to be modern. At the 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Atlanta and the 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition held in Nashville, they attempted to understand how their region could be industrial and imperial on its own terms. On a local, national, and global stage, African Americans, New South boosters, New Women, and Civil War veterans presented their dreams of the future. They aimed to prove to the world how rapidly the South had embraced and built, in the words of Henry Grady in 1890, 'from pitiful resources a great and expanding empire.' The Atlanta and Nashville world's fairs were spaces in which southerners presented themselves as modern and imperial citizens ready to spread the South's culture and racial politics across the globe. This work connects the South to a global conversation in the late nineteenth century over how to include peoples deemed fit for labor but unfit for citizenship"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a A New South vision -- The Negro buildings -- New women, New South -- Exhibiting a New South empire -- Conclusion: the 1907 Jamestown Ter-Centennial: a dream or nightmare of the future? 611 20 $a Cotton States Exposition $d (1895 : $c Atlanta, Ga.) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n82021356 611 20 $a Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition $d (1897 : $c Nashville, Tenn.) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no98125557 611 27 $a Cotton States Exposition. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01405950 611 27 $a Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01409271 650 0 $a Exhibitions $x Social aspects $y 19th century $x Social aspects $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Exhibitions $x Economic aspects $y 19th century $x Economic aspects $z Southern States. 651 0 $a Southern States $x History $y 1865-1951. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125649 651 0 $a Southern States $x History. $y 19th century $x History. 650 7 $a Exhibitions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918097 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 648 7 $a 1800-1951 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cardon, Nathan, 1982- $t Dream of the future. $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2018] $z 9780190274733 $w (DLC) 2017059394 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214024132.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F483184A101A11EA8DA14E4D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
