Alderman, Derek H.Kennedy, Richard A.2013-08-242013-08-242013http://hdl.handle.net/10342/4210Victor Green's travel guide stands as one illustration of tools used by African Americans to survive in the contested and disputed landscape of Jim Crow segregation. The Green Book as a symbol of the civil rights movement further represents the discourses and politics of automobility that both limit and empower resistance. The Green Book is an under-utilized source available to historical geographers for researching the numerous barriers to tourism. Racial discrimination is one that is especially under-analyzed. This research advances the field of digital humanities and historical GIS as well as pushing close the epistemological qualitative-quantitative discord over using geographic information systems to support geo-analytic approaches in human geography.  125 p.dissertations, academicBlack historyGeographyAutomobilityDigital humanitiesGeographic information sciencesHospitalityGeodesyNegro motorist green book, TheGreen, Victor H.
