Summary:

'The New Suburbia' explores how the suburbs transformed from bastions of the white middle class in the postwar years into diverse communities after 1970. In the new suburbia, white advantage persisted, but it existed alongside rising inequality, ethnic and racial diversity, and new household configurations. It focuses on Los Angeles, at the vanguard of these trends.
