All over the Map: Rethinking American Regions

Rating:
Summary: An admirable collection.
Review: These four professors are at the top of the historical profession, and their thoughts on the regions in whose histories they specialize will fascinate any reader. Whether it's the newness of the black-and-white New England house facade, the contingency of the identity of a "South," or any of a number of other questions they consider, virtually every point made in this book is made both deftly and with great learning. Ayers and Onuf, in particular, are simply great stylists. Buy it, you'll like it!
