The Southwest: South or West by Frank E Vandiver. Published by Texas A&M University Press, College Station, TX, 1975. 1st Stated Edition. Hardbound, Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: VG in Chipped DJ. Some text underlined with notes in margins. 48 Pgs. ISBN 0890960038. LCCN 75-16448. Drawings by Jo Alys Downs. Is the Southwest a place different from other places? The author searches out the answers to these questions through history, folklore, religion, music, and geography, through people and their places. The interplay of diverse influences he traces in the southwest reveals a region rich in tradition, both inherited and indigenous, a people linked to the past but looking to the future. The southwest emerges as a cultural amalgam that is greater than the sum of its parts. Description text copyright 2011 BooksForComfort. Item ID 25591.
