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

by James S. Duncan and Nancy Duncan

Book Overview

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.
