Reviews
"A well-crafted case study of urban rebirth in the South. . . . Balanced and thoughtful."-- Choice "A brilliant narrative that explains how the city has grown from a small cow town on the narrowest portion of the St. Johns River to a major metropolis in the sun belt."-- H-Net "Crooks, the historian-in-residence during the administration of Jacksonville mayor Tommy Hazouri (1987-1991), was in an excellent position to observe community development at close range. His experiences and insights are quite evident in this solidly researched study."-- Journal of American History "A reminder of just how backward a city Jacksonville was in many ways in the 1950s and 1960s."-- Florida Times-Union "Particularly useful for its examination of how blacks viewed their prospects in this 'Bold New City' and how civil rights activists pressed their claims within the new consolidated government. . . . A primer for those concerned about southern growth in the twenty-first century."-- Journal of Southern History "In 1967, voters in Jacksonville and the suburban areas of Duval County supported a successful city-county consolidation that transformed Jacksonville into Florida's largest city. James Crook's detailed study of Jacksonville before and after the consolidation provides a wealth of information and insight about the community."-- Florida Historical Quarterly

Synopsis
In the 1950s and 60s Jacksonville faced daunting problems. The city government was criticized for being boss-ridden and corrupt, African Americans challenged racial segregation, the St. Johns River was heavily polluted, and downtown development had succumbed to suburban sprawl. In 1967 the city decided to consolidate with surrounding Duval County, transforming this conservative Deep South backwater city into a prosperous, mainstream metropolis. James Crooks introduces readers to preconsolidation Jacksonville and then focuses on three major issues that confronted the expanded city: racial relations, environmental pollution, and the revitalization of downtown. This urban history will fascinate scholars of politics and governmental reform as well as residents of the First Coast city. A volume in the Florida History and Culture Series, edited by Raymond Arsenault and Gary R. Mormino, James B. Crooks introduces readers to pre-consolidation Jacksonville and then focuses on three major issues that confronted the expanded city: racial relations, environmental pollution, and the revitalization of downtown.
