Life of North American Suburbs
"Drawing on major metropoles and smaller cities across the US and Canada, and the rather outlying case of Mexico City, the authors (primarily geographers) map varied suburban forms and beliefs from Vancouver to Miami, while looking closely at issues of race and political-economic struggles that focus on the dynamics of suburbs and central cities in the late-20th and early-21st centuries. Each essay's argument is comprehensive, compelling, and valuable for classroom us."
