{"product_id":"treme-race-and-place-in-a-new-orleans-neighborhood","title":"Tremé: Race and Place in a New Orleans Neighborhood","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcross Rampart Street from the French Quarter, the Faubourg Trem  neighborhood is arguably the most important location for African American culture in New Orleans. Closely associated with traditional jazz and \"second line\" parading, Trem  is now the setting for an eponymous television series created by David Simon (best known for his work on \u003ci\u003eThe Wire\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMichael Crutcher argues that Trem 's story is essentially spatial--a story of how neighborhood boundaries are drawn and take on meaning and of how places within neighborhoods are made and unmade by people and politics. Trem  has long been sealed off from more prominent parts of the city, originally by the fortified walls that gave Rampart Street its name, and so has become a refuge for less powerful New Orleanians. This notion of Trem  as a safe haven--the flipside of its reputation as a \"neglected\" place--has been essential to its role as a cultural incubator, Crutcher argues, from the antebellum slave dances in Congo Square to jazz pickup sessions at Joe's Cozy Corner. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrem \u003c\/i\u003e takes up a wide range of issues in urban life, including highway construction, gentrification, and the role of public architecture in sustaining collective memory. Equally sensitive both to black-white relations and to differences within the African American community, it is a vivid evocation of one of America's most distinctive places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-5288479\"\u003eMichael E.
