Despite the cultural and economic influence of Spring Break, and the fact that it has become asignificant area of study in other fields of research such as psychology, sociology, college health,and business and marketing, historians have largely overlooked the phenomenon. This articleprovides an overview of Spring Break’s postwar history by focusing primarily upon developmentsin the American Southeast, especially Fort Lauderdale, Daytona Beach and Atlanta. Inbridging the histories of higher education and tourism we focus on three key developments:tensions between visiting students and host communities, commercialization and corporatization,and the racial dynamics of Spring Break. In our conclusion we briefly examine the phenomenonof “alternative” Spring Breaks and offer reflections on Spring Break’s overall historicalsignificance.ResumeMalgre l’influence culturelle et economique de la semaine de relâche universitaire, le « SpringBreak » et le fait que de nombreux chercheurs en psychologie, sociologie, sante des etudiantsuniversitaires, commerce et publicite s’y soient interesses, les historiens ont neglige ce phenomene.Cet article fournit une vue d’ensemble de l’histoire de la semaine de relâche dans laperiode d’apres-guerre, centree sur le deroulement des activites dans le sud-est des Etats-Uniset, en particulier, Fort Lauderdale, Daytona Beach et Atlanta.
