Author Peter M. Bacle grew up in the world of Key West commercial fishing. As Key West developed into major tourist destination, Pete fished for lobster and stone crab, cruised the Caribbean, survived numerous confrontations with drug smugglers, adapted to the influx of refugees from Cuba, and relaxed with family and friends on secluded islands and beaches. Pete's Key West may live in the shadow of Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, but for native families, the schools, churches, ball fields, and surrounding sea are where they find their pleasures. The author's father, Pete C. Bacle-pictured on the cover-is central to many of the stories in the book. Pete Sr. went to sea at the age of 15, and founded the family fishing business. He was an adventure seeker, who fought naval battles in WWII, fished the distant Dry Tortugas and Bahama waters, searched for sunken treasure, battled trap robbers and drug smugglers, and still found time for his family. Pete loved the ocean, and always believed that earning a living from the sea in Key West was a privileged life that few people would trade. Peter Bacle's stories are now part of Key West's past, but Stock Island Lobster Company is little changed by time. The Bacle family still buys, sells, and catches lobster, and life continues today much as it has for the past 60 years.

As a free trade zone and Latin America's most popular destination, Cancún, Mexico, is more than just a tourist town. It is not only actively involved in the production of transnational capital but also forms an integral part of the state's modernization plan for rural, indigenous communities. Indeed, Maya migrants make up over a third of the city's population.A Return to Servitude is an ethnography of Maya migration within Mexico that analyzes the foundational role indigenous peoples play in the development of the modern nation-state. Focusing on tourism in the Yucatán Peninsula, M. Bianet Castellanos examines how Cancún came to be equated with modernity, how this city has shaped the political economy of the peninsula, and how indigenous communities engage with this vision of contemporary life. More broadly, she demonstrates how indigenous communities experience, resist, and accommodate themselves to transnational capitalism.Tourism and the social stratification that results from migration have created conflict among the Maya. At the same time, this work asserts, it is through engagement with modernity and its resources that they are able to maintain their sense of indigeneity and community.

The Rise and Decline of the Redneck Riviera traces the development of the Florida-Alabama coast as a tourist destination from the late 1920s and early 1930s, when it was sparsely populated with “small fishing villages,” through to the tragic and devastating BP/Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010.Harvey H. Jackson III focuses on the stretch of coast from Mobile Bay and Gulf Shores, Alabama, east to Panama City, Florida―an area known as the “Redneck Riviera.” Jackson explores the rise of this area as a vacation destination for the lower South’s middle- and working-class families following World War II, the building boom of the 1950s and 1960s, and the emergence of the Spring Break “season.” From the late sixties through 1979, severe hurricanes destroyed many small motels, cafes, bars, and early cottages that gave the small beach towns their essential character. A second building boom ensued in the 1980s dominated by high-rise condominiums and large resort hotels. Jackson traces the tensions surrounding the gentrification of the late 1980s and 1990s and the collapse of the housing market in 2008. While his major focus is on the social, cultural, and economic development, he also documents the environmental and financial impacts of natural disasters and the politics of beach access and dune and sea turtle protection.The Rise and Decline of the Redneck Riviera is the culmination of sixteen years of research drawn from local newspapers, interviews, documentaries, community histories, and several scholarly studies that have addressed parts of this region’s history. From his 1950s-built family vacation cottage in Seagrove Beach, Florida, and on frequent trips to the Alabama coast, Jackson witnessed the changes that have come to the area and has recorded them in a personal, in-depth look at the history and culture of the coast.A Friends Fund Publication.
