UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:30996452 AB - 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. Genuinely innovative, 'Landscapes of Privilege' is one of the first books to apply critical landscape theory to the social production of American elites. ER -
