The Midwest lacks the kind of geographic coherence, historical issues, and cultural touchstones that have informed regional identity in the American South, West, and New England. Historians writing about the Midwest carry a historiographical burden loaded with irony: rather than argue for the distinctiveness of the Midwest, they must always demonstrate the national, even universal, significance of what is generally considered both the most American and the most amorphous of regions. The goal of the contributors to The Rural Midwest since World War II, this illuminating volume, is different, but no less ambitious; their aim is to find distinctiveness in a region that has always been amorphous and is increasingly so. They see Midwesterners as a dynamic people who shaped the physical and social landscapes of the great midsection of the nation.
