"[Dorman] skillfully recreates--and acutely analyzes--the fascinating story of one of American political and cultural history's forgotten but most appealing alternatives."--Journal of American History
"Dorman has provided a useful and insightful synthesizing study of the major versions, actors, streams, and manifestations of regionalism in the interwar period."--American Historical Review
"An innovative, insightful, and important study that should long serve as a beacon for others to follow."--Environmental History
"Regionalism surely stands among the most influential cultural movements in twentieth-century America, yet to date it has received surprisingly little attention. With his extensive research, thoughtful insights, and artful prose, Robert Dorman has provided us with a truly first-rate study that should represent the definitive word on American regionalism for years to come."--Daniel J. Singal, author of The War Within: From Victorian to Modernist Thought in the South, 1919-1945
