In this dynamic history, Karen Christel Krahulik explains why Provincetown, Massachusetts--alternately known as \"Land's End,\" \"Cape-tip,\" \"Cape-end,\" and, to some, \"Queersville, U.S.A\"--has meant many things to many people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eProvincetown\u003c\/b\u003e tells the story of this beguiling coastal town, from its early history as a mid-nineteenth century colonial village to its current stature as a bustling gay tourist destination. It details the many cultures and groups--Yankee artists, Portuguese fishermen, tourists--that have comprised and influenced Provincetown, and explains how all of them, in conjunction with larger economic and political forces, come together to create a gay and lesbian mecca. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough personal stories and historical accounts, \u003cb\u003eProvincetown\u003c\/b\u003e reveals the fascinating features that have made Provincetown such a textured and colorful destination: its fame as the landfall of the Mayflower Pilgrims, charm as an eccentric artists' colony, and allure as a Dionysian playground. It also hints at one of Provincetown's most dramatic economic changes: its turn from fishing village to resort town. From a history of fishing economies to a history of tourism, \u003cb\u003eProvincetown\u003c\/b\u003e, in the end, is as eclectic and vibrant as the city itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3490270\"\u003eKaren Christel Krahulik\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.82w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814747629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814747620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS036100\"\u003eUnited States | State \u0026amp; Local | New England (CT, MA, ME, NH,\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC012000\"\u003eLGBTQ+ Studies | Gay Studies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS054000\"\u003eSocial History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaren Christel Krahulik\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Dean of the College at Brown University.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44702843797741,"sku":"9780814747629","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_4b0ada24-ceeb-4cc8-abe8-864db5b5c222.jpg?v=1703893352","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/provincetown-from-pilgrim-landing-to-gay-resort-9780814747629","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
