Another Country
Author: Scott HerringPublisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814773079
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
The metropolis has been the near exclusive focus of queer scholars and queer cultures in America. Asking us to look beyond the cities on the coasts, Scott Herring draws a new map, tracking how rural queers have responded to this myopic mindset. Interweaving a wide range of disciplines—art, media, literature, performance, and fashion studies—he develops an extended critique of how metronormativity saturates LGBTQ politics, artwork, and criticism. To counter this ideal, he offers a vibrant theory of queer anti-urbanism that refuses to dismiss the rural as a cultural backwater. Impassioned and provocative, Another Country expands the possibilities of queer studies beyond its city limits. Herring leads his readers from faeries in the rural Midwest to photographs of white supremacists in the deep South, from Roland Barthes’s obsession with Parisian fashion to a graphic memoir by Alison Bechdel set in the Appalachian Mountains, and from cubist paintings in Lancaster County to lesbian separatist communes on the northern California coast. The result is an entirely original account of how queer studies can—and should—get to another country.

The Shaping of America: A Geographical Perspective on 500 Years of History
Author: D. W. MeinigPublisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300173946
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 483
Book Description
This landmark book, the concluding volume of D. W. Meinig’s magisterial series The Shaping of America, presents the story of America’s interwoven history and geography from 1915 to 2000. The author describes decades of enormous national growth and change in his characteristic engaging style, and through more than seventy original maps he ingeniously depicts diverse twentieth-century trends and developments. The book addresses the expanding nation’s progress in terms of the automotive revolution; neotechnic evolution; access to air travel; growth of instantaneous forms of communication, including telephones, television, and the Internet; and such political events as World War II. Meinig relates these developments to social and geographic trends, among them patterns of urban migration, regionalism, metropolitanization, the beginnings of the urban megalopolis, shifts in ethnic and religious populations, and, on a more global scale, transformations in America’s connections with Europe, Asia, and Latin America. A masterful synthesis of twentieth-century history and geography, this book offers unprecedented insights into the shaping and reshaping of the United States over the past century.
The Pennsylvania highway system
Author: Robert G. WilliamsonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Roads
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Expenditures for highway activities rose significantly over the decade. However, revenues from liquid fuels taxes and motor license fees, and federal grant-in-aid funds, historically the principal source of highway funds at the state level, provide a diminishing proportion of the total funds required for highways. The use of borrowed funds has correspondingly increased. The state legislature now controls resource consumption for capital expenditures via an individual project approval mechanism. The historical trend toward more centralized control and direction of state highway functions continues with Pennsylvania's establishment of a Department of Transportation in July, 1970. (Modified author abstract).
