Recenzje

Over the last few decades, the color of suburbia has changed, especially in metropolitan Los Angeles, the subject of Becky Nicolaides's field-defining book. Through rigorous, on the ground research, Nicolaides shows how newcomers remade formerly white-majority suburbs and how suburban governments have struggled to adapt. The New Suburbia is an essential starting point for understanding the challenges and opportunities of an increasingly diverse America.
