Cultural geographer Wilbur Zelinsky presents a nuanced perspective on the perceived homogenization of American society. He argues that while modern technologies and capitalism have standardized many aspects of the landscape, there is simultaneously a growing diversity in cultural expressions and regional identities. Zelinsky highlights the persistence of distinct languages, religions, and political behaviors across the country, revealing the emergence of new cultural regions and a revival of localism. His analysis challenges the notion that America is becoming a uniform entity.
