Slumming : sexual and racial encounters in American nightlife, 1885-1940 / Chad Heap.

• The spatial dynamics of slumming and the emergence of commercial leisure -- Into the slums: the spatial organization, cultural geography, and regulation of a new urban pastime -- Beyond the slums: commercial leisure and the reorganization and policing of urban space -- The changing conceptualization of sexuality and race in the slumming vogues of Chicago and New York -- Adventures in the slums and red-light districts -- The search for Bohemian thrillage -- The Negro vogue: excursions into a "mysterious dark world" -- The pansy and lesbian craze in white and black.

• The indelible public image of slumming is of limousines pullng up in Prohibition era Harlem, full of rich whites looking for great jazz and a good time; but Chad Heap reveals that the reality was far more widespread that this, and takes us from slumming as 'fashionable dissipation' in 1880s New York to gay nightclubs in 1930s Chicago.
