When creating my own map related to the American Guide Series, I chose to create my Map<\/a> centered on Virginia, particularly in the Gainesville area because it’s where i’m from. The “Virginia: A guide to the Old Dominion- Tour 4a” <\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span>, focuses on the town of Gainesville all the way to Front Royal, with stops in the Shenandoah Valley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s an extensive list of stops that can be made when traveling through this area, and this is one of the tours that’s considered short in the Virginia guide series. In comparison to the Navigating the Green Book map, which shows little to no areas for stopping in both 1947 & 1956.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia as a whole had no stops for African Americans at all in 1947, demonstrating a vast difference in the tourism experience for white people and black people in 1947 and in the 1900’s in general. There’s only one stop for black people that was added in Northern Virginia in 1956 and that’s at a hotel in Warrenton, where as there’s references and descriptions of multiple lodges and hotels in the Tour 4a stop descriptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As described in this exhibit by Utah State University, “the American Guide Series was a successful contribution to American culture and literature” <\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span>. This is true, but only for those “Americans” who had the privilege of traveling to the locations mentioned in the guide series without segregation limiting them. Aside from that point, analyzing the maps also made me think about how mapping is able to display different inequalities in history. For example, in our class discussion concerning mapping, we were able to analyze redlining in America through the mapping inequality project <\/span>3<\/sup><\/a><\/span>. This further enforces and demonstrates to me as someone analyzing history and mapping, that a lot of history is described in beautiful sort of flowery language and glazes over how differently people of the time experienced that “history” depending on the color of their skin, class differences, gender, etc..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
