Landscapes of Privilege [PDF ebook]
The Politics of the Aesthetic in an American Suburb

Omslag till Nancy Duncan: Landscapes of Privilege (PDF)

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.
