Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The American Suburban Dream Housea Singlefamily, Detached Dwelling, Frequently Clustered In Tight Rows And Culdesacshas Been Attacked For Some Time As Homogeneous And Barren, Yet The Suburbs Are Home To Half Of The American Population. Architectural Historian John Archer Suggests The Endurance Of The Ideal House Is Deeply Rooted In The Notions Of Privacy, Property, And Selfhood That Were Introduced In Late Seventeenthcentury England And Became The Foundation Of The American Nation And Identity.Spanning Four Centuries, Architecture And Suburbia Explores Phenomena Ranging From Household Furnishings And Routines To The Proliferation Of The Dream House In Parallel With Cold War Politics. Beginning With John Locke, Whose Enlightenment Philosophy Imagined Individuals Capable Of Selffulfillment, Archer Examines The Eighteenthcentury British Bourgeois Villa And The Earliest London Suburbs. He Recounts How Early American Homeowners Used Houses To Establish Social Status And How Twentiethcentury Americans Continued To Flock To Singlefamily Houses In The Suburbs, Encouraged By Patriotism, Fueled By Consumerism, And Resisting Disdain By Disaffected Youths, Designers, And Intellectuals. Finally, He Recognizes Hybridized Or Increasingly Diverse American Suburbs As The Dynamic Basis For A Strengthened Social Fabric.From Enlightenment Philosophy To Rap Lyrics, From The Rise Of A Mercantile Economy To Discussions Over Neighborhoods, Sprawl, And Gated Communities, Archer Addresses The Past, Present, And Future Of The American Dream House.John Archer Is Professor Of Cultural Studies And Comparative Literature At The University Of Minnesota. His Book The Literature Of British Domestic Architecture, 17151842, Is The Standard Reference On The Subject, And He Also Contributed To The Encyclopedia Of Urban America And The Encyclopedia Of Twentiethcentury Architecture.
