Landscape and Race in the United States

Landscape and Race in the United States is the definitive volume on racialized landscapes in the United States. Edited by Richard Schein, each essay is grounded in a particular location but all of the essays 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.

Rich Schein is Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Kentucky. He is the author of numerous articles in leading journals. He also has a forthcoming book on racial landscapes in Kentucky that will be published by Temple University Press and is the co-editor of the forthcoming The Companion to Cultural Geographydue to be published by Blackwell in 2004.
