Readings in cultural geography

---

Cultural geography is not a new subject. This generalization holds true whether we define subject" to mean a recognized scholarly discipline or simply a point of view. In the latter sense of the word, cultural geography was well established in antiquity in the former sense, its roots are as deep as those of academic geography as a whole. To verify these points it is sufficient to recall the concern for cultural differences indeed culture areas in the writings of Herodotus and Strabo, or the more explicit statements of Ratzel and Vidal de la Blache. The reader will also notice that many of the contribu- tors to this volume are senior scholars who have been active in geography or related fields for many years. It is something of a paradox, therefore, that cultural geography has not yet been blessed with a definitive treatise or an effective guide to the literature. The subject is not treated specifically in American Geography: Inventory and Prospect, nor has it been elaborated in any of the presidential addresses given before the Association of American Geographers."
