Not Yet a Placeless Land: Tracking an Evolving American Geography

By Wilbur Zelinsky

Today it is taken as a given that the United States has undergone a nationwide process of homogenization-that a country once rich in geographic and cultural diversity has subsided into a placeless sameness. The American population, after all, spends much of its time shopping or eating in look-alike chain or franchise operations, driving along featureless highways built to government specifications, sitting in anonymous airports, and sleeping in forgettable motels.
