Rarely recognized outside its boundaries today, the Pacific
Northwest region known at the turn of the century as the Inland
Empire included portions of the states of Washington and Idaho, as
well as British Columbia. The author of this study traces the
history of this self-proclaimed region from its origins through its
heyday. In doing so, she challenges the characterization of regions
as fixed places defined by their geography, economy and
demographics. Regions, she argues, are best understood as mental
constructs, internally defined through conflicts and debates among
different groups of people seeking to control a particular area's
identity and direction. She tells the story of the Inland Empire as
a complex narrative of competing perceptions and interests.
