It examines how each is celebrated in Atlanta, Georgia, focusing on the way in which the Old South was remembered from the end of the Civil War until the Civil Rights movement a century later – the «Old New South» – and how it has been re-remembered in the period since the Civil Rights movement – the «new New South». While today there is a vibrant pride in the city’s African-American culture, there also remains a healthy degree of pride in the Old South, and most of its adherents do not consider the two movements to be antagonistic.

Cet article examine la double fierté déconcertante qui peut se manifester dans l'histoire du Vieux Sud, d'une part, et dans la célébration du patrimoine et de la fierté afro-américaine d’un New South intégré, d’autre part. Il examine la façon dont chaque facette est célébrée à Atlanta, en se concentrant sur la façon dont le Vieux Sud a été évoqué de la fin de la guerre de Sécession jusqu'au mouvement des droits civiques – le « Vieux New South » – et la reconstruction mémorielle à l’œuvre depuis le mouvement des droits civiques – le « Nouveau New South ». Alors qu’aujourd'hui, il y a une vibrante fierté pour la culture afro-américaine locale, il reste aussi un haut degré de fierté pour le Vieux Sud, sans que l’antagonisme entre les deux mouvements soit évident. Cet article cherche à expliquer un tel paradoxe. Il se propose aussi d’analyser la manière dont le patrimoine du Vieux Sud a été intentionnellement modifié pour le rendre plus acceptable lorsque les évolutions sociales l’ont rendu de plus en plus discutable. Este artículo examina el desconcertante orgullo que se puede manifestar por la historia del Old South, de un lado, y por la celebración de la herencia afro-americana y del orgullo por el New South moderno, de otro lado. Examina de qué modo cada aspecto se celebra en Atlanta, focalizándose en la manera con la cual la gente se acordaba del Old South desde el fin de la guerra civil hasta los días del movimiento para los derechos cívicos –el « Old New South »– y cómo la gente se acordó de nuevo del Old South después de los años sesenta –el « New New South ». Mientras ahora existe un vivo orgullo por la cultura afro-americana de la ciudad, existe también un gran orgullo por el Old South, sin que el antagonismo entre los dos movimientos sea evidente. Este artículo trata de examinar cómo tal paradoja puede existir. Se propone también presentar unas hipótesis para explicar cómo la herencia del Old South fue voluntariamente transformada para ofrecer una versión más aceptable en una sociedad en rápida evolución. |
