New Orleans has long been a city fixated on its own history and
culture. Founded in 1718 by the French, transferred to the Spanish
in the 1763 Treaty of Paris, and sold to the United States in 1803,
the city's culture, law, architecture, food, music, and language
share the influence of all three countries. This cultural melange
also manifests in the city's approach to sport, where each game is
steeped in the city's history. Tracing that history from the early
nineteenth century to the present, while also surveying the state
of the city's sports historiography, New Orleans Sports places
sport in the context of race relations, politics, and civic and
business development to expand that historiography-currently
dominated by a text that stops at 1900-into the twentieth century,
offering a modern examination of sports in the city.
