Examining the history, cinema, literature, cultural myths and social geography of the United States, the book puts some of the greatest as well as the "baddest" American cities under the microscope. Taking the role of the roads that crisscross and connect the cities as their shared point of reference, these essays explore ways to understand the people who live, commute, work, create, govern, commit crime and conduct business in them."--Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 1900 - 1999|2fast 650 0 City and town life|zUnited States. 650 0 Cities and towns|zUnited States. 650 0 Civilization|xAmerican influences. 650 0 Globalization|xSocial aspects. 650 0 American literature|y20th century|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Cities and towns in literature. 650 0 Roads in literature. 655 0 Electronic books|xCriticism, interpretation, etc. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books|xCriticism, interpretation, etc. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 Swirski, Peter,|d1966- 773 0 |tHKU Press digital editions. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tAll roads lead to the American city. |dHong Kong : Hong Kong University Press, ©2007 |z9789622098626|w(DLC) 2009352060|w(OCoLC)123114895 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=359490|zOnline eBook.
