Reddit reviews American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America

Because while better than the North/South hypothesis the Urban/Rural one is still only partially accurate. Where it is most inaccurate is in ME, NH, MA, & VT, as well as some coastal regions of the left coast.

A more interesting hypothesis I've read is the one put forth in this book: http://www.amazon.com/American-Nations-History-Regional-Cultures/dp/0670022969 which numbers the competing primary cultures at 11, as opposed to the simplistic idea that there's only two cultures in America.

This was it. "American Nations." Its an interesting perspective.

I googled "United States cultural geography book" without quotes

Definitely on the Cascadian reading list. It is however 30 years old and is an ahistorical view. Little insight into the origins of these nations and because of that little insight into their behavior present and future.

Another book that has to be on the reading list: American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America. Colin Woodard ties his description of the eleven regions to the streams of immigrants that first populated them. First settlers make a large impact on the culture of a region.
