Nancy Duncan
Landscapes of Privilege [EPUB ebook]
The Politics of the Aesthetic in an American Suburb

Stöd

Omslag till Nancy Duncan: Landscapes of Privilege (ePUB)

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.
