  • The House of Dance and Feathers Mardi Gras Indian Museum—New Orleans, LA
    The House of Dance and Feathers Mardi Gras Indian Museum—New Orleans, LA Project Locus: Patrick Rhodes, Executive Director In the months following Hurricane Katrina the forces of nature seemed to have defeated New Orleans. Profession- als questioned the wisdom of rebuilding a city lying largely below sea level on a storm-prone coast, and government officials seemed helpless in organizing the cleanup and beginning a rebuilding process. As recovery plans got under way elsewhere on the Gulf Coast, it seemed New Orleans, and especially its poor, largely African-American districts, would remain forever in ruin. Some residents, however, refused to accept this pros- pect. For them, New Orleans was not a “disaster waiting to happen again”—a possible trap—but rather home to a vibrant community with a rich cultural heritage. One of these was a community activist, Ronald Lewis. In the Lower Ninth Ward, Lewis was known as the founder and curator of the House of Dance and Feathers Mardi Gras Indian Museum. Housed in a garage alongside his home, the museum had contained an extensive collection of relics celebrating the city’s African-American heritage, including costumes from its largely forgotten “second-line” Mardi Gras festivities. Like most structures in the Lower Ninth Ward, the museum was destroyed by the flooding that followed the storm. But its redesign and reconstruction eloquently express the importance of rebuilding New Orleans as a living city, rather than a tourist site. At the core of the effort was an activist collaboration between Lewis and the architect and educator Patrick Rhodes, but it also involved countless hours of volunteer work by students, profession- als, and community residents, aided by a significant grant from the Charles Engelhard Foundation.

During this period, New Orleans’ vendors labored in the streets of diverse neighborhoods where they did more than sell a vital commodity. As “Nourishing Networks” demonstrates, the food economy provided the disenfranchised—people of color, women, and recent migrants—a means to connect themselves to the public culture of the city, despite legal prohibitions intended to keep them on the margins. Those who were legally marginalized exercised considerable influence over the city’s public culture, shaping both economic and social interactions among urban residents in the public sphere.

The ethnicgroups which are investigated include Poles, Irish, Italians, and Jews. An ethnic person is defined as anyone who decides to identify with and live among those who share the same immigrant memories and values. Ethnic origin, ethnic loyalties, and ethnic considerations playan important role in the political process of the United States. A separate chapter focuses on each of the four minority groups and its role in the process of American politics. Jews, labeled as the shaken liberals, have historically been staunch supporters of the liberal tradition as a unified voter block, but apparent conservative trends are showing as a reaction to radical liberalism and its support of the Arab nations. The Irish built and dominated political organizations, known as machines, in several cities and their predominance in city politics continues today. Italians'were rather slow in getting into politics, but in general Italiansare politically conservative, strong American patriots, disunited due to internal identity conflicts, and assimilating rapidly into U.S.
