Book Synopsis
Globalization and the Internet are smothering cultural regionalism, that sense of place that flourished in simpler times. These two villains are also prime suspects in the death of reading. Or so alarming reports about our homogenous and dumbed-down culture would have it. This book shows that neither of these claims stands up under scrutiny.

Trade Review
"This is a bold, multi-textured, and extremely interesting book that combines fascinating theoretical points with empirically supported case studies. Wendy Griswold explores new territory and underscores its significance cogently and incisively." - Elizabeth Long, author of Book Clubs"
