The Riviera, Exposed
A sweeping social and environmental history, The Riviera, Exposed illuminates the profound changes to the physical space that we know as the quintessential European tourist destination. Stephen L. Harp uncovers the behind-the-scenes impact of tourism following World War II, both on the environment and on the people living and working on the Riviera, particularly North African laborers, who not only did much of the literal rebuilding of the Riviera but also suffered in that process. Outside of Paris, the Riviera has been the most visited region in France, depending almost exclusively on tourism as its economic lifeline. Until recently, we knew a great deal about the tourists but much less about the social and environmental impacts of their activities or about the life stories of the North African workers upon whom the Riviera's prosperity rests. The technologies embedded in roads, airports, hotels, water lines, sewers, beaches, and marinas all required human intervention—and travelers were encouraged to disregard this intervention. Harp's sharp analysis explores the impacts of massive construction and public works projects, revealing the invisible infrastructure of tourism, its environmental effects, and the immigrants who built the Riviera. The Riviera, Exposed unearths a gritty history, one of human labor and ecological degradation that forms the true foundation of the glamorous Riviera of tourist mythology.

Foreword
The majority of tourists planning adventures do not spend a great deal of time thinking about the environmental history of the places they intend to visit. They don’t pore over the landscape, trying to imagine what it looked like before developers got to work. If they wish to ski, they don’t dream about the ecological impact of alpine resorts; they fantasize about the thrill of carving turns in fresh powder. Tropical beachgoers are more apt to consider a mai tai than an absent mangrove. And, most relevant here, visitors to the promenade des Anglais in Nice, France, almost certainly fail
