The 90s show: culture leaves the farm and hits the streets

The American cultural geography is basically defined by the studies of the rural and is focused on cataloging and mapping of artifacts and the city is seen as a place of work, production and economic relations. The economism of spatial science and Marxism could not be sustained by the urban geography and hence the culture has to be let in.
