| Description | With more Americans living in the suburbs than in the city in the post–World War II period, the suburbs were idealized as a “manifestation” of the “fundamental characteristics of American society.”$ ^{1}$ A new mainstream narrative had two interrelated sociocultural themes. The suburbs were imagined as “the distinctive residential landscape” of an expanding middle class defined by consumption.$ ^{2}$ And middle class suburban lifestyles were believed to afford an opportunity to jettison European ethnicities embedded in the city for “the white house.”$ ^{3}$ Book Name: The Routledge History of Italian Americans |
