- Summary:
- In The Moral Order of a Suburb, sociologist M. P. Baumgartner explores the patterns of conflict and conflict management that lie behind suburbia's peaceful way of life. Based on detailed ethnographic research in an affluent suburb of New York City, her book describes the sources of friction in a suburban environment and documents the pronounced aversion to conflict that prevents most tensions there from escalating into hostile confrontation.
