This volume challenges ideas about both national belonging and local association to emphasize how regional analysis deepens understanding of migration, race, borders, infrastructure, climate, and Native sovereignty.

FORMATPaperback CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Regions connect and divide us even as global economies, weather, and germs batter us. Historians, literary scholars, and social scientists use region to ground and challenge ideas about national belonging. In Reconsidering Regions in an Era of New Nationalism Alexander Finkelstein and Anne F. Hyde have assembled leading scholars of regionalism to discuss the relationship of region to nation.The contributors explore how historical forces have changed regional associations and how regional associations have changed culture and history. The themes of culture, space, and institutions organize this volume: contributors historicize how race and racial thinking have evolved as a major force to define region and nation over time; the essays raise questions about the stability and validity of "canonical regions" in U.S. history to find new complexity in how these blocs form and how they understand themselves; and they focus on historicist and conjunctural trends in how institutions and ordinary people conceive regions through political and cultural processes over time. Challenging ideas about both national belonging and local association, the contributors emphasize how regional analysis deepens understanding of migration, race, borders, infrastructure, climate, and Native sovereignty.

Review

"The meaning and significance of region and regionalism is momentous in these times of factionalism; this investigation gives us new insights into regionalism and its importance, and it does so with some especially innovative approaches and prisms. . . . This volume is distinguished by the uniform strength of the research and source bases for each piece."—William F. Deverell, director of the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West
