in
1912,
white land developers founded Idlewild, an African American resort community
on Michigan s west side. Over the following decades, the town became one of the
country s foremost vacation destinations for the black middle class, during its peak
drawing tens of thousands of visitors annually and hosting the era s premier entertainers,
including the Four Tops, Delia Reese, Brook Benton, and George Kirby. With the civil
rights movement and the resulting expansion of recreation options available to African
Americans, Idlewild suffered a sharp social and economic decline, and by the early
1980s
the town had become a struggling retirement community in the midst of financial
and political crises.
Meticulously researched and unearthing never-before-seen historical material, Dr.
Ronald J. Stephens s book examines the rapid rise and decline of this pivotal landmark
in African American and leisure history, in the process exploring intersections
among race, class, tourism,
entertainment, and historic
preservation in the United
States. Featuring a wealth of
fteldworkon contemporary
Idlewild, the book also
takes a candid look at recent
revitalization efforts and
analyzes the possibilities for
a future resurgence of this
national treasure.
Lewis Walker and I cracked the door on the study of Idlewild and its significance to
Michigan heritage. Ronald Stephens has now kicked
H
wide open with this excellent
book that builds upon the scholarly foundation we laid out and highlights the experi¬
ences and personal voices of those who contributed to Idlewild, past and present*·
--Dr. Ben
С
Wilson, author of Black Eden: The Idlewild Community
Ronald J. Stephens is associate professor of African American Studies at Ohio University.
A leading Idlewild scholar, Dr. Stephens has contributed to numerous programs on the
resort, including Ted Talbert s award-winning documentary Idlewild: A Place in the Sun,
an edition ofTony Brown s Journal, and an NPR production.
