Cassanello brings to light many of the reasons Jacksonville, like Birmingham, Alabama, and other cities throughout the South, continues to struggle with its contentious racial past.

What defines a city’s public space? Who designates such areas, who determines their uses, and who gets to use them? Robert Cassanello uses rough-and-tumble nineteenth-century Jacksonville as both backdrop and springboard to explore social transformation in Florida and the South. When free black men in the city were first given the right to vote, conservative lawmakers made concerted efforts to drive them out of white public spaces. They attempted to make the public sphere a white domain by rendering blacks voiceless—invisible—in the public square. In response, a black counterpublic developed, flourishing clandestinely at times and openly challenging racism in the public sphere at others.Fortified by the theories of Henri Lefebvre, David Harvey, and Jürgen Habermas, To Render Invisible is the first book to focus on the tumultuous emergence of African American public life in Jacksonville between Reconstruction and the 1920s. Robert Cassanello brings to light many of the reasons Jacksonville, like Birmingham, Alabama, and other cities throughout the South, continues to struggle with its contentious racial past.

Essays from scholars of labor and migration that examine changes in the Southern workplace after World War IIIn the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, the American South became very diverse very quickly. New businesses and job opportunities in the region drove this growth, brought an influx of capital, and attracted residents from other parts of the country and the world. After World War II, traditionalism in the South lived side-by-side with a South embodying internationalism, diversity, and movement.In this volume, a group of historians, anthropologists, and other social scientists examine the intersection of labor history and migration studies to explain the South's dynamism in both urban and rural settings during this time. Under the editorship of Robert Cassanello and Colin Davis, these essays examine the transformation of the Southern workplace after World War II, the impact of migration, and the corporations and industry that relocated below the Mason-Dixon line.
