Culture and Space: A Case Study of the New Deal at UNC
More than any other era in US history, the New Deal supported the development of new work in the arts. Two scholars at the University of North Carolina have compiled, “The Forest Theatre, Expressive Landscape, and the New Deal at UNC Chapel Hill,” a bibliographic essay exploring the relationship between New Deal structures and cultural projects at that campus, with special focus on the relationship between space and performance undertaken at the Forest Theatre. The essay suggests potential avenues for further research into the New Deal, emphasizing the politics of place and the arts, during the New Deal era. Read the entire essay.
