Reviews

Few American roads conjure as much nostalgia as Route 66, particularly the remaining well-preserved sections in Arizona. But as Daniel Milowski shows in this excellent study, the tourist promise of 1950s Americana obscures a much more interesting history of an ever-changing transportation corridor and the communities along it. Route 66 and the Formation of a National Cultural Icon is essential reading for those who are interested in the real story, not the kitschy neon myth. -- Paul S. Sutter, University of Colorado Boulder
