All Roads Lead to the American City provides an original view of the urban culture in America seen through its irrevocable ties with the cities and roads. Examining the history, cinema, literature, cultural myths and social geography of the United States, the book puts some of the greatest as well as the "baddest" American cities under the microscope.

Without getting caught up in a limited problematic or a narrow theoretical jargon, All Roads Lead to the American City taps the insights of many fields in order to show how intimately bound up the reality and the image of the road and the city are with the American sense of the nation. The authors move smoothly from text to history to synthesis, and back again. Taken as a whole, it makes a contribution to American Studies. -- David Grant, Grant MacEwan College
