so, yeah, i'm a little late on the who posting deal, but here ya go. I'm actually giving my response to the Picture Windows book. yeah, really late! But i did enjoy the book. EWen and Baxandall give great insight into this migration in American history. They ask essential questions and examine how the structure of suburban America effects our ideology and our life styles. In superb and standard New Social historian form, they gather a lot of their information, not from what other historians have said about this, but straight from the horse's mouth by interviewing citizens who live in suburban areas. They also address the new social thought that American ideals are flawed in concept as well as execution. If Suburban life is the fulfillment of American ideals, and it turned out so bad and secluded so many and really became an object of oppression, then how could American ideals be virtuous? They give great insight and expose the validity of some myths in America and make us question our own values. Although rough to plug through at times, i enjoyed this new social view of suburban America! good luck everyone on the studies!
