This outstanding book is the definitive volume on racialized landscapes in the United States. Edited by Richard Schein, each essay is grounded in a particular location, and all are informed by the theoretical vision that the cultural landscapes of America are infused with race and America's racial divide. While featuring the black/white divide, the book also investigates other social landscapes including Chinatowns, Latino landscapes in the Southwest and white suburban landscapes. The essays are accessible and readable providing historical and contemporary coverage, and ensuring this book will appeal to cultural and social geographers, landscape specialists, and American studies scholars.
