Are regions and regionalism still relevant terms in this global age? The papers by
German and North-American scholars in this interdisciplinary volume –
American/Canadian Studies, History, Anthropology, Political Science, Art History
– bring theoretical aspects of the various disciplines to bear on
regionalism and present a wide variety of concrete examples ranging from images
of the American South and New England (as well as of the Ruhr, Hungary, Poland,
and Sicily) to the impact of ethnicity on the postmodern regionalism of Miami,
Vancouver and Los Angeles.
