Book synopsis

(at)font-face ( font-family: "Times"; )(at)font-face ( font-family: "Palatino"; )p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal ( margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; )div.Section1 ( page: Section1; ) Proponents of the new regional history understand that regional identities are constructed and contested, multifarious and not monolithic, that they involve questions of dominance and power, and that their nature is inherently political. In this lively new book, writing in the spirit of these understandings, Kent Ryden engagingly examines works of American regional writing to show us how literary partisans of place create and recreate, attack and defend, argue over and dramatize the meaning and identity of their regions in the pages of their books.
