SOC 203 - History & Culture of New Orleans

Institution:

Gwynedd Mercy University

Subject:

Description:

New Orleans is an American city unlike any other in the United States. Because of its location at the mouth of the Mississippi River, New Orleans became the most cosmopolitan city in the country in the late 1800s. As a result, the city became a culture unto itself through its Creole food, its language, and through its blend of cultural music that became Jazz. This course will explore the culture of New Orleans and what makes it unique through a study of food, music, architecture, Mardi Gras, and geography, as well as its dark side of the slave trade and red light district known as Storyville.
