Landscapes of Privilege: The Politics of the Aesthetic in an American Suburb

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 noi 2003

James and Nancy Duncan look at how the aesthetics of physical landscapes are fully enmeshed in producing the American class system. Focusing on an archetypal upper class American suburb-Bedford in Westchester County, NY-they show how the physical presentation of a place carries with it a range of markers of inclusion and exclusion.

Recenzii

"I think that this book will make quite a stir: not just in the suburb under study...but in the wider academic community where its transcendence.will generate much commentary and not a little jealousy." -- John Agnew, author of Geopolitics (Routledge)
No.1, Vol.71; Pg.105
"Studying elites is an interesting subject, and this book makes the most of the topic using critical landscape theory." -- Journal of the American Planning Association-Landscape of Privilege: The Politic of the Aesthetics in an American Suburb
"...the authors support a well-framed, strong central arguement with abundant empirical evidence in a clearly organized format and with engaging, eloquent text. It is worth careful reading and reflection." -- Journal of Cultural Geography, Kelly S, Draper, University of Colorado
