Description
"This is a work of American history and cultural studies in which the author examines how Americans imagined and regulated suburban space in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Beginning in the 1970s, rising crime, environmental threats, and conflicts over the use of public space made suburbanites feel threatened. And the technologies of cable television, VCRs, and video games brought representations of these threats into suburban homes. The author interprets how suburbanites responded to these perceived threats through a strategy of "productive victimization" to protect their communities"--,Provided by publisher.
