Richard Campanella Room 121 Richardson Memorial Hall Richard Campanella Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana 70118 Geographer / Senior Professor of Practice 504-862-8453 [email protected] Tulane School of Architecture richcampanella.com Prof. Richard Campanella, geographer and associate dean for research with the Tulane School of Architecture, is the author of eleven books and over 220 articles on New Orleans-area geography, history, urbanism, and related topics. His research, which integrates mapping and spatial analyses with architecture, social science and the humanities, has been praised in the New York Review of Books, Journal of Southern History, Urban History, Places, Louisiana History, Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association, and Bloomsbury Review. The only two-time winner of the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities Book of the Year Award, Campanella has also received the Louisiana Literary Award, the Williams Prize for Louisiana History, the Malcolm Heard Award for Excellence in Teaching, the Hannah Arendt Prize for Scholarship in the Public Interest, and the Tulane Honors Professor of the Year Award. In 2016, the Government of France named Campanella as Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques (Knight in the Order of the Academic Palms), and in 2019, the State of Louisiana awarded him the 20th annual Louisiana Writer Award.

  • A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo
    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

  • A Perceptual History of New Orleans Neighborhoods
    June 2014 http://www.myneworleans.com/New-Orleans-Magazine/ A Glorious Mess A perceptual history of New Orleans neighborhoods Richard Campanella Tulane School of Architecture We allow for a certain level of ambiguity when we speak of geographical regions. References to “the South,” “the West” and “the Midwest,” for example, come with the understanding that these regions (unlike states) have no precise or official borders. We call sub-regions therein the “Deep South,” “Rockies” and “Great Plains,” assured that listeners share our mental maps, even if they might outline and label them differently. It is an enriching ambiguity, one that’s historically, geographically and culturally accurate on account of its imprecision, rather than despite it. (Accuracy and precision are not synonymous.) Regions are largely perceptual, and therefore imprecise, and while many do embody clear geophysical or cultural distinctions – the Sonoran Desert or the Acadian Triangle, for example – their morphologies are nonetheless subject to the vicissitudes of human discernment. Ask 10 Americans to delineate “the South,” for instance, and you’ll get 10 different maps, some including Missouri, others slicing Texas in half, still others emphatically lopping off the Florida peninsula. None are precise, yet all are accurate. It is a fascinating, glorious mess. So, too, New Orleans neighborhoods – until recently. For two centuries, neighborhood identity emerged from bottom-up awareness rather than top-down proclamation, and mental maps of the city formed soft, loose patterns that transformed over time. Modern city planning has endeavored to “harden” these distinctions in the interest of municipal order – at the expense, I contend, of local cultural expressiveness.

  • Rigging the Real Estate Market: Segregation, Inequality, and Disaster Risk
    DATA CENTER RESEARCH . ORG The New Orleans Prosperity Index: Tricentennial Collection Rigging the Real Estate Market: Segregation, Inequality, and Disaster Risk STACY SEICSHNAYDRE, TULANE LAW SCHOOL ROBERT A. COLLINS, DILLARD UNIVERSITY CASHAUNA HILL, GREATER NEW ORLEANS FAIR HOUSING ACTION CENTER MAXWELL CIARDULLO, GREATER NEW ORLEANS FAIR HOUSING ACTION CENTER Introduction New Orleans history and culture is rooted in a unique sense of place. Yet beneath a shared sense of tradition and culture lies another reality marked by separation and disadvantage. The historical and contemporary dividing lines in New Orleans, like in most American cities, fall along categories (and gradients) of black and white, race and ethnicity. Gaining an understanding of the history of neigh- borhood segregation in New Orleans is essential to appreciating contemporary racial disparities in wealth, access to opportunity, and vulnerability to disaster risk. Residential racial segregation is not a neutral phenomenon for blacks. Research demonstrates that “blacks on average remain more physically isolated from jobs than members of any other racial group.”1 Housing segregation contributes to unequal exposure to crime and violence, environmental health hazards, and threats to physical and mental health.2 For children, the concentrated neighborhood poverty associated with segregation can be catastrophic, as “child poverty can lead to chronic, toxic stress that disrupts the architec- ture of the developing brain…”3 Segregation also results in a peculiar dynamic where, regardless of income, blacks are more likely to live in a high poverty neighborhood than whites.4 This paper will examine an array of government policies and practices, reinforced by the private sector, which created artificial racial segregation in New Orleans and across the U.S.

  • Of New Orleans Community Healing Through Commemoration
    Chapter 9 The Spirit(s) of New Orleans Community Healing through Commemoration Roos Dorsman In this chapter I focus on faith, heritage, music and the fabrication of temporality in relation to Afro-Caribbean spirituality in New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans is particularly relevant as a site for exploration within the Atlantic perspectives because of the historical connections and circulations between Africa and the Caribbean, from which New Orleans emerged as an important port city. My research has been on contempo- rary voodoo cultures in New Orleans, and I will specifically focus on cer- emonies that contribute to a form of healing for the community that has to deal with the violent past of slave trade and slavery as well as with the more recent past of hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. As the locus for this chapter I have chosen Congo Square,1 as histori- cally it has had such a prominent position in the transatlantic community of New Orleans. It is a place where people from African and Caribbean diasporas still come together on a regular basis for activities such as drum circles, Sunday gatherings and healing ceremonies. My research has focused on contemporary voodoo in New Orleans, and Congo Square is a vital part of the dialogues surrounding these cultures in the city, being a unique site for New Orleans’s African and Caribbean diasporic connections. The cover term ‘voodoo’2 refers of a set of practices and beliefs in which there is one God (Bondye/Bon Dieu) who can be reached via divini- ties (both spirits, Lwa, and ancestors, vodun) either by the practitioner him/herself or through the mediation of a priest (oungan) or priestess Notes for this chapter begin on page 192.
