The Monterey coast, home to an acclaimed aquarium and the setting
for John Steinbeck's classic novel Cannery Row, was also the stage
for a historical junction of industry and tourism. Shaping the
Shoreline looks at the ways in which Monterey has formed, and been
formed by, the tension between labor and leisure. Connie Y. Chiang
examines Monterey's development from a seaside resort into a
working-class fishing town and, finally, into a tourist attraction
again. Through the subjects of work, recreation, and environment --
the intersections of which are applicable to communities across the
United States and abroad -- she documents the struggles and
contests over this magnificent coastal region. By tracing
Monterey's shift from what was once the literal Cannery Row to an
iconic hub that now houses an aquarium in which nature is
replicated to attract tourists, the interactions of people with
nature continues to change. Drawing on histories of immigration,
unionization, and the impact of national and international events,
Chiang explores the reciprocal relationship between social and
environmental change. By integrating topics such as race,
ethnicity, and class into environmental history, Chiang illustrates
the idea that work and play are not mutually exclusive endeavors.
