Homelands: A Geography of Culture and Place across America
Exploring various cultural and ethnic groups and their connections to specific territories. Several chapters focus on distinct regions like the Creole Coast, Cajun Louisiana, South Texas (Tejano and Anglo-Texan), the Kiowa homeland in Oklahoma, the Highland-Hispano homeland, the Navajo homeland, Mormondom's Deseret, California's emerging Russian homeland, and Montana's emerging Montane homeland. The authors discuss the cultural identities, historical development, and the bonding between people and place that define these areas, while also considering the criteria for identifying a homeland and offering some dissenting views on the concept itself. The text uses examples of settlement patterns, architecture, language use, and religious practices to illustrate the unique character of each region.
