Winner of the 2005 Book Prize from the Association for Humanist SociologyA portrait of the contentious, controversial history of the Manhattan elite's favorite fabled summer playgroundIn this absorbing account of New Yorks famous vacation playground, Corey Dolgon goes beyond the celebrity tales and polo games to tell us the story of this complex and contentious land. From the displacement of Native Americans by the Puritans to the first wave of Manhattan elites who built the Summer Colony, to the current infusion of telecommuting Manhattanites who now want to live there yearround, the story of the Hamptons is a vicious cycle of supposed paradise lost.Drawing on this fabled land's history, The End of the Hamptons provides a fascinating portrait of current controversies: the Native Americans fighting over land claims and threatening to build a casino, the environmental activists clashing with the McMansion builders, and the Latino day laborers and workingclass natives trying to eke out a living in an everincreasingly expensive town.
