Race, class, and exclusion in the twenty-first century -- Revealing activist histories -- Sustaining social justice in the diverse suburb |
| Summary |
American suburbs have been seen as both exclusive idylls for elites as well as crucibles for new ideologies of gender, class, race, and property. But few have considered what the growing diversity of suburban America has meant for progressive social, economic, and political justice movements. This book is a pioneering and multidisciplinary volume that reassesses commonplace understandings of suburban activism. The editor and contributors shed light on organizing and conflict in the suburbs with historical and contemporary case studies. Chapters address topical issues ranging from how suburbanites actively fought school segregation to industrial pollution and displacement along the suburban-rural fringe. This collection also considers struggles for integration and environmental justice, as well as efforts to preserve suburban history and organize immigrant communities |
