The New Suburban History rejects the popular image of suburbs as conformist and conflict-free havens, revealing that their seemingly calm streets have long been battlegrounds over race, class, and politics. With this collection, Kevin Kruse and Thomas Sugrue argue that suburbia must be understood as a central factor in the modern American experience.
