PREVIEW: History is a Weapon 5: The Rise and Fall of Suburbia w/ Matt Christman
Published 6 years, 9 months ago
Description
Matt and Sean dive into the historical materialist trenches once more!
On this HIAW, we address suburbia and its discontents: How has the unique social geography of the United States affected its political and economic development? How are class relations reflected in the built environment? Why did the suburbs arise as a unique solution to social crisis in the post-war era? And what sort of mentalities and ideologies arose out of these milieux?
