Dust Jacket reads:The surburbs exist in the American consciousness as static icons: monotonous processions of banal architecture, social conservatism and shopping-mall conformity. In Picture Windows, social historians Rosalyn Baxandall and Elizabeth Ewen employ in-depth hisorical research and hundreds of interviews with suburban residents to tell a different story of the suburbs and their history, one of people and places of great diversity and {at times} unrest. The result is nothing less than a comlete reinterpretation of the role of the suburbs in American life from the turn of the century to the present Baxandall and Ewen replace sterotypes of suburban life with a discussion of how pivotal issues in twentieth-century American life have corresponded and at time been affected by suburban growth. .
