  • Deliberate identities: Becoming local in America in a global age

    Steven M SchnellARTICLEJournal of Cultural Geography2013Cited by: 11References: 18

    As the world becomes increasingly interlinked through the processes of globalization, many have argued that geography as a basis for identity is losing its resonance. However, the potentially homogenizing effects of globalization and corporatization have, in turn, spawned a notable move in the opposite direction in the United States. James “Pete” Shortridge has referred to this move as neolocalism, the conscious attempt of individuals and groups …

    Steven M SchnellARTICLEJournal of Cultural Geography2011Cited by: 10References: 20

    Over the past fifteen years, Americans and Canadians have become increasingly interested in and conscious of the sources of their food. Local food movements such as farmers’ markets and community supported agriculture have expanded dramatically in popularity. This study focuses on a heretofore unexamined aspect of this phenomenon, the widespread rise in use of local food and agriculture in tourism marketing. Nearly absent in 1993 promotions, “eat…

  • The Ambiguities of Authenticity in Little Sweden, U.S.A

    Steven M SchnellARTICLEJournal of Cultural Geography2003

    Throughout the United States many small towns have been reinventing themselves as ethnic–themed tourist towns. Scholars often do not give the culture in these towns a second thought, automatically assuming that the culture on display is no more than a Disneyesque caricature with no grounding in the day–to–day lives of residents. In my exploration of one of these towns, Lindsborg, Kansas, I discovered that such scholarly assumptions are misguided.…

  • Microbreweries as Tools of Local Identity

    Steven M Schnell, Joseph F ReeseARTICLEJournal of Cultural Geography2003Cited by: 36References: 6

    During the 1490s, over 1,500 microbreweries sprouted and flourished across the country. This expansion of microbreweries derives, in part, from the desire of people to break away from the smothering homogeneity of popular, national culture. Such breweries are often proudly and sellconsciously local, sporting local historical photos, maps, and other artifacts of a place's personality as part of the decor. Geographer Wes Flack has hypothesized that…

    Open AccessSteven M SchnellARTICLEGeographical Review2000Cited by: 6References: 14

    Kiowa Indians derive their common identity from deep roots in southwestern Oklahoma, an area they call their "homeland." On this landscape are recognized and distinctive marks, both visible and invisible: The Kiowa have blanketed it with their significant stories. The region is important as a psychological anchor in the Kiowa past and as a core for their modern identity as a distinct people. In this article I explore Kiowa stories, ideas, and fee…
