Although more muted than in some of the preceding ten, Nature Girl’s barely concealed subtext expresses Hiaasen’s outraged concern over the diminishing natural environment in his home state. Hiaasen’s chosen form, the popular crime novel, has enabled him to reach a wide audience with his ecological message. Working within the generic confines of the crime novel, however, produces a number of intriguing challenges to Hiaasen’s radical tendencies.

  • Florida Seminole Housing and the Social Meanings of Sovereignty
    Florida Seminole Housing and the Social Meanings of Sovereignty JESSICA CATTELINO Anthropology, University of Chicago Driving past the strip malls of Hollywood, Florida, visitors know they have entered the Seminole Reservation when they approach blocks of modest houses punctuated by the thatched roofs of backyard chickees (from chiki, or home, in Mikasuki). On Seminoles’ rural Big Cypress Reservation, chic- kees dot the landscape as storage sheds, front yard spots to sit and socialize, and shelters for taking lunch breaks away from the punishing Florida sunshine. Chickees also convey “Seminoleness” in some tribal casinos’ interior design, as vendors’ booths at Seminole festivals (figure 1), and even on the Seminole tribal flag, with its chickee logo (figure 2). More than any other element of the built environment, chickees mark space as distinctly Seminole. If today chickees have come to signify Seminole nation and culture to Semi- noles and outsiders alike, however, the history of Seminole housing reveals a complicated and fraught relationship among chickees, governance, and the politics of culture. In this paper, which is part of a larger study of Seminole tribal sovereignty and economy in the casino era (Cattelino n.d. [forthcoming]), I examine housing as a case study of mid- to late twentieth-century relations between Seminoles and the federal government. I show how the 1990s tran- sition from federal to tribal control over housing and other social programs, Acknowledgments: Research was funded by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, an American Association of University Women American Dissertation Fellowship, a Woodrow Wilson Dissertation Grant in Women’s Studies, a Smithsonian Institution Predoctoral Fellowship, an American Philosophical Society Phillips Fund Grant for Native American Research, a New York University Kriser Fellowship in Urban Anthropology, the Annette B.

Review: This is a great read, perhaps less speckled with Hiaasens brilliant humor than his other works, but with a far more poignant message. To say more would give away the story.

    Economic Transformation and Historical Identity: A Case Study of Osceola County, Florida By Sarah Fry A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Public History Middle Tennessee State University May 2016 Thesis Committee: Dr. Brenden Martin, Chair Dr. Susan Myers-Shirk ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Bren Martin and Dr. Susan Myers-Shirk for their help and guidance during this process. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to learn from them during my time at Middle Tennessee State University. Additionally I am grateful to the Osceola County Historical Society for opening their doors and allowing me to include them in my research. I would also like to thank my family for all of their support. Most of all I would like to thank my husband for his love and encouragement throughout my time as a graduate student. Without his support none of this would be possible. ii ABSTRACT Over the past five decades Central Florida has experienced dramatic demographic and economic changes. The catalyst for this change began with the opening of the Walt Disney World theme park. Before this, the area consisted of small towns dependent on agriculture. Once Walt Disney World opened however, the character of Central Florida shifted dramatically. Drawing millions of tourists year- round, the pace of life quickened, and the promise of hospitality industry jobs lured new residents into the area at unprecedented rates. In the midst of all this change, long-time residents struggled to reconcile this emerging identity as a major tourist destination with their pioneer heritage.

  • Sight-Seeing Boats in Mid-Twentieth Century Broward County by Denyse Cunningham
    Sight-Seeing Boats in Mid-Twentieth Century Broward County By Denyse Cunningham Broward County has long attracted boaters. The Seminole would ply the Everglades and coastline in dugout canoes. Early white settlers traveled by water as there were few passable roads. Boats would take passengers up and down the North New River Canal to examine Everglades land for sale. And once the area’s population grew, the potential of tourist money was evident; sight-seeing boats became a popular attraction and they remain so today. In 1912, Captain Felix Forbes’ launch the Dixie, made weekly sailings to Stranahan’s dock on the New River in Fort Lauderdale. This was the beginning of Forbes Pioneer Boat Line. In 1913, he added the boats Mayfl ower, The Mindanao, one of the 1 four boats of the Forbes Wanderlust, Eva, Everglader and La Rochelle. Pioneer Boat Line, 1913.

Fort Myers and back.2 He would leave Tuesday morning and return on Thursday evening, charging $7 for round trip passage. After he received the contract to carry mail, Forbes acquired the former yacht Mindanao. Because so many potential land purchasers used his boats, Forbes built a hotel on Ritta Island.3 Later, his brother, Captain Edward E. Forbes, had the successor boat line, the South Shore Transportation Company, with the boats Fox and Arline G.4 Boats would transport passengers to view Everglades land for sale as well as delivering mail, ice, crops and other commodities.
