Imag[in]ing America, Jennifer Garza-Cuen examines a collection of national, regional, and local identities throughout the United States as a means to call into question the true essence of places.
Our society treats place as a central identifying characteristic, second only to name and followed closely by profession. We all have a catalogue of images in our mind that we call upon when a city, town, or country's name is mentioned and those images help us to form an opinion of the place and those we meet from there.
