  • Jewish Philanthropy and Youth Activism in Post-Katrina New Orleans
    The Chosen Universalists: Jewish Philanthropy and Youth Activism in Post-Katrina New Orleans by Moshe Harris Gedalyah Kornfeld A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Stuart Kirsch, Chair Professor Ruth Behar Emerita Professor Gillian Feeley-Harnik Professor Deborah Dash Moore Professor Elisha Renne © Moshe Kornfeld 2015 DEDICATION To Rachel ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS While the analyses that constitute this dissertation are grounded in the dusty archives of Jewish institutional history and in the vibrant streets of New Orleans, this project first took shape in Ann Arbor as a result of the outstanding and ongoing support of my doctoral committee. I am grateful to my advisor, Stuart Kirsch, whose holistic approach to mentorship has helped me immeasurably at every stage of the process. I am continually inspired by Stuart’s thoughtful and efficacious integration of activist and anthropological commitments, and feel honored to have written this dissertation in conversation with him. I would like to express my boundless thanks to Deborah Dash Moore, whose keen and cutting insights helped me use my anthropological training to enter the Jewish studies debates close to my heart and to the heart of this project. Ruth Behar taught me to explore my own ethnographic subjectivities and to pursue the complex narratives woven together in my ethnography; if I have infused those aspects of the project concerned with potentially dry institutional histories with the vibrancy and urgency of debates about the very nature of Jewish life, then it is thanks to her.

The CCSRC is composed of nine total members, with one appointed by each Councilmember with a formal or informal background of the history and geography of New Orleans. Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the City Planning Commission appointed the remaining two members. The Commission was charged with several key responsibilities, which included conducting a thorough research and public engagement process to develop a comprehensive set of renaming recommendations for streets, parks, and places across the city. In the course of auditing the list of City streets beyond those initially identified by the New Orleans Public Library, the Commission consulted a panel of experts to provide an additional set of names, which was used to formulate the recommendations listed in this report.

  • Post-War Subdivisions and the Ranch House
    Louisiana Architecture: 1945-1965 Post-War Subdivisions and the Ranch House HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Post-WWII Population Growth and U.S. Housing Shortage: Without a doubt no American industry was harder hit by the Great Depression and the Second World War than housing. Over this protracted sixteen year period, annual housing starts fell to less than 10% of what they had been during the boom days of the “Roaring Twenties.” Numerous architectural practices and construction firms simply “went under.” But during this same time span, the American marriage rate actually increased, in fact sharply. And by obvious extension, so did the birth rate. Add to the mix nine million service men returning from the war expecting to marry, settle down and start a family. It comes as no surprise that the marriage rate in 1946 was at an all-time high, followed by an eighteen year baby boom. As the baby boom generation took off, the U. S. housing market was not merely stretched, it was in full-blown crisis. Literally millions of families were living with relatives and friends. Emergency measures included over 50,000 people making temporary shelter in disused Army Quonset huts, and in Chicago, 250 surplus transit electric trolley cars being sold for makeshift housing. Some newly married couples sub-let from other renters. All of this led to crowded houses and apartments, which, especially in the summer, in the days before air- conditioning, made for something less than domestic bliss. Cooped up with in-laws, in hot urban apartments (with probably a baby on the way), newly married couples wanted freedom and space – their own front door that they could open and close when they wanted to.

  • 1 FINAL REPORT Panel of Experts, New Orleans City Council Street
    FINAL REPORT Panel of Experts, New Orleans City Council Street Renaming Commission Preamble How do we do justice to the centuries of history that have unfolded on these 350 square miles of land surrounding the Mississippi River? What is the relationship between this diverse history, its reflection in our city’s officially named spaces and places, and the values we strive to enact as a community? This report, prepared with the input of more than forty of the city’s leading scholars and writers, themselves drawing on more than a century of the most cutting-edge historical and cultural interpretation, offers no definitive answers to these questions. We have been guided throughout though by the conviction that asking these questions, developing a collaborative process, telling the multitudinous stories contained in this report, and reconsecrating some of the spaces in this city is an imperative as New Orleans enters its fourth century of existence as a city. The collective 111 suggestions for renaming streets and parks below makes no claim toward being a definitive history of the city. For every musical innovator like Jelly Roll Morton, Mahalia Jackson, or Mac Rebennack included there is a Bunk Johnson, Emma Jackson, Ernie K-Doe and countless others who have been left out. The four individuals included who fled the men who owned them as slaves near present-day Lakeview are but four of the thousands in this city’s history whose collective individual actions over centuries forced a reluctant nation to finally begin to live up to its highest ideals. The rolls of the First Louisiana Native Guard of the U.S.
