- Summary:
- Landscape and Race in the United States is the definitive volume on racialized landscapes in the United States. Featuring some of the top contributors in the field, each essay focuses on a particular location. Yet the theoretical vision that racial divides infuse all American cultural landscapes informs all of the essays. The book covers the black/white divide in depth, but also investigates other important social landscapes in which race plays a signal role: Chinatowns, Latino landscapes in the Southwest, and white suburbs. Mixing historical and contemporary coverage, Landscape and Race in the United States breaks new ground as the first comprehensive account of the subject.
