Anotace:	According to the 2000 Census, 50 percent of Americans live in suburbs, signifying a dramatic reversal of patterns since the 1920s, when only 15 percent of the nation's population lived in such neighborhoods. This mass migration to the suburbs is one of the most fundamental transformations in twentieth-century U.S. history. Suburbanization has not only defined a distinct physical environment, but it is also inextricably linked to the formation of class, racial, and gender identities, the expanding role of the state, the evolution of success ideologies, and the construction of American culture in the twentieth century.<P>The Suburb Reader collects the best writings on suburbs from their origins in the nineteenth century through the present day. The reader is organized chronologically and thematically, and includes scholarly essays, documents, magazine and newspaper articles, and a wealth of reproductions of advertisements and photographs. The Suburb Reader will be an essential addition to courses in American urban history, anthropology, sociology, urban studies and planning, as well as suburban history, American studies, and cultural studies.
