reviews Delta Sugar Louisiana’s Vanishing Plantation Landscape By John B. Rehder The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1999 355 pp. Cloth $45.00 Reviewed by John Michael Vlach, professor of American studies and anthropology at The George Washington University and author or editor of nine books on various aspects of folk art, vernacular architecture, and African American material culture, including Back of the Big House: The Architecture of Plantation Slavery, from the University of North Carolina Press, 1993. Although it is commonplace for a recently minted Ph.D. to publish his or her dis- sertation soon after its completion, making of it the foundation for a scholarly reputation, cultural geographer John B. Rehder took a different approach. Delta Sugar: Louisiana’s Vanishing Plantation Landscape is his dissertation revisited some thirty years after obtaining his doctorate. To be sure, in the interim he has used this research as the basis for a number of useful articles that describe key attrib- utes of the sugar industry in southern Louisiana. But in this book, he tells the story of the sugar landscape in full, and, armed with insights that have been ma- turing for three decades, the account is much richer than any dissertation rushed into
