SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"The United States, Jeremy Black suggests, is a continent pretending to be a country. Its government presides over 3.7 million square miles of earth and nearly 300 million people. Its sheer scale poses a monumental challenge to all who try to grapple with its rich and immensely complex physical and social geography. Drawing on his own travels, Black responds to this challenge by offering a succinct and authoritative analysis of the ways in which events in history and culture since 1960 have remade the USA's geography and demographics."--Jacket.
