Пълно описание

A small neighborhood in northern Frankfort, Kentucky, Crawfish Bottom was located on fifty acres of swampy land along the Kentucky River. "Craw's" reputation for vice, violence, moral corruption, and unsanitary conditions made it a target for urban renewal projects, and the district was razed to make way for the city's Capital Plaza in the mid-1960s. Douglas A. Boyd provides a record of the vanished neighborhood and its culture, acknowledging the popular misconceptions about the community while also offering a richer and more balanced view of its past. Using oral histories, firsthand recollections, and accounts from "official" sources, Boyd constructs a case study that highlights the ways in which community memory is formed and demonstrates the importance of these memories to folklorists and historians.
