Reviews
"The multifaceted approach works remarkably well to underline the multiple experiences that make us this 'second suburb's' history. The result is a deeper understanding of the ins and outs of Levittown, Pennsylvania, in which the multiplicity of voices come together to produce a valuable addition to the studies of locations that have proliferated in recent literature on suburban growth in the post-1945 era." -Technology and Culture, "Superb study . . . Dell Upton's foreword, recounting his parents' experiences in a Levitton-like development, is the perfect set-up, recounting some of the 'idiosyncratic twistings and turnings [that] lie behind the received story of suburbanization and white flight'." --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "Handsomely produced with an extensive number of photographs, floor plans, cartoons, and advertisements, 'Second Suburb' provides a solid, smart contribution to our understanding of postwar suburbs by viewing a single suburban community through multiple histosrical lenses." --Pennsylvania Magazine of History & Biography, "Levittown, we are told, was a 'cruel parody' of the American Dream, offering neither urban stimulation nor rural rejuvenation, and Levittown buyers too deluded or too unsophisticated to understand possibilities and the limitations of what they were sold. There was always evidence to belie that stereotype for those willing to see it, yet only recently have we begun to explore in depth the complexity of the Levittown phenomenon. In the essays, recollections, and interviews gathered here, we see a complex community in which visual sameness is nearly absent and political passivity, social isolation, and cultural philistinism are rare." --Dell Upton, University of California at Los Angeles, "Looking at Levittown from inside and out, this collection illuminates the suburban condition in all of its complexity. By assembling multiple voices to tell the rich, conflicted, and often surprising story of this archetypical American place, Dianne Harris has made a major contribution to the growing field of suburban history." -Margaret Crawford, University of California, Berkeley, "The multifaceted approach works remarkably well to underline the multiple experiences that make us this 'second suburb's' history.

The generous selection of images in each essay highlights the variety of print and material artifacts perceptively analyzed." -Choice, "Rich and diverse . . . Harris has assembled a stellar group of scholars to explore various dimensions of Levittown' s architecture, history, politics and culture. . . . Indispensable for readers commited to a more comprehehsive understanding of race in America." --Tikkun, "Levittown, we are told, was a 'cruel parody' of the American Dream, offering neither urban stimulation nor rural rejuvenation, and Levittown buyers too deluded or too unsophisticated to understand possibilities and the limitations of what they were sold.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
