Sumario:The idea of ""region"" in America has often served to isolate places from each other, observes Douglas Reichert Powell. Whether in the nostalgic celebration of folk cultures or the urbane distaste for ""hicks, "" certain regions of the country are identified as static, insular, and culturally disconnected from everywhere else.
