Description
Today it is taken as a given that the US has undergone a nationwide process of homogenization-that a country once rich in geographic and cultural diversity has subsided into a placeless sameness. Cultural geographer Wilbur Zelinsky challenges that nearly universal view and reaches a paradoxical conclusion: that American land and society are becoming more uniform and more diverse at the same time.
