{"product_id":"closed-seasons-julia-brock-9781469681450","title":"Closed Seasons: The Transformation of Hunting in the Modern South","description":"In a unique and personal exploration of the game and fish laws in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi from the Progressive Era to the 1930s, Julia Brock offers an innovative history of hunting in the New South. The implementation of conservation laws made significant strides in protecting endangered wildlife species, but it also disrupted traditional hunting practices and livelihoods, particularly among African Americans and poor whites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eClosed Seasons\u003c\/i\u003e highlights how hunting and fishing regulations were relatively rare in the nineteenth century, but the emerging conservation movement and the rise of a regional \"sportsman\" identity at the turn of the twentieth century eventually led to the adoption of state-level laws. Once passed, however, these laws, were plagued by obstacles, including insufficient funding and enforcement. Brock traces the dizzying array of factors--propaganda, racial tensions, organizational activism, and federal involvement--that led to effective game and fish laws in the South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Brock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469681455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469681450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Julia Brock","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46293159903487,"sku":"9781469681450","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f53d9b19-6f98-4c88-8f0b-01d5eb891449.jpg?v=1730212303","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/closed-seasons-julia-brock-9781469681450","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
