The study and celebration of regionalism is becoming more and more important to an understanding of American culture, and this is the first definitive reference work on the nation's culture in its many regional. Each volume includes chapters on integral parts of regional culture, including: Architecture; Art; Ecology and Environment; Ethnicity; Fashion; Film and Theatre; Folklore; Food; Language; Literature; Music; Religion; Sports and Recreation. Chapters present exhaustively researched, detailed narratives of the given subjects, from indigenous culture to the present day. For example, the chapter on "Music" in The Pacific Region explores such styles as indigenous tribal music; Asian-American composition; the Mexican-American ranchera and nortena genres; Latin and West Coast jazz; Hawaiian slack key music; surf rock; Haight-Ashbury psychedelia; underground L.A. Metal; Northwest garage and grunge rock; and Long Beach ska, among others. Furthermore, each chapter is enhanced with sidebars, photos and illustrations, and a Resource Guide (including print, electronic, film, and organizational entries). Finally, each volume includes two maps - a conventional map of the region and a map of physical geography - and concludes with a bibliography and an index.
