| Zusammenfassung: | In 1955, Levitt and Sons purchased most of Willingboro Township, New Jersey and built 11,000 homes. This, their third Levittown, became the site of one of urban sociology's most famous community studies, Herbert J. Gans's The Levittowners. The product of two years of living in Levittown, the work chronicles the invention of a new community and its major institutions, the beginnings of social and political life, and the former city residents' adaptation to suburban living. Gans uses his research to reject the charge that suburbs are sterile and pathological. First published in 1967, The Levittowners is a classic of participant-observer ethnography that also paints a sensitive portrait of working-class and lower-middle-class life in America. This new edition features a foreword by Harvey Molotch that reflects on Gans's challenges to conventional wisdom |

Gans New York, NY Columbia University Press [2018] © 2017 1 online resource txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Legacy Editions Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 24. Sep 2018) In 1955, Levitt and Sons purchased most of Willingboro Township, New Jersey and built 11,000 homes. This, their third Levittown, became the site of one of urban sociology's most famous community studies, Herbert J. Gans's The Levittowners. The product of two years of living in Levittown, the work chronicles the invention of a new community and its major institutions, the beginnings of social and political life, and the former city residents' adaptation to suburban living. Gans uses his research to reject the charge that suburbs are sterile and pathological. First published in 1967, The Levittowners is a classic of participant-observer ethnography that also paints a sensitive portrait of working-class and lower-middle-class life in America. This new edition features a foreword by Harvey Molotch that reflects on Gans's challenges to conventional wisdom In English Geschichte 1900-2000 gnd rswk-swf Suburban life Städtebau (DE-588)4056795-3 gnd rswk-swf Vorstadt (DE-588)4188724-4 gnd rswk-swf Soziographie (DE-588)4126669-9 gnd rswk-swf Kunstsoziologie (DE-588)4033673-6 gnd rswk-swf Levittown, NY (DE-588)4111285-4 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4522595-3 Fallstudiensammlung gnd-content Levittown, NY (DE-588)4111285-4 g Vorstadt (DE-588)4188724-4 s Soziographie (DE-588)4126669-9 s 2\p DE-604 Städtebau (DE-588)4056795-3 s Geschichte 1900-2000 z 3\p DE-604 Kunstsoziologie (DE-588)4033673-6 s 4\p DE-604 Molotch, Harvey Luskin 1940- Sonstige (DE-588)1089332645 oth https://doi.org/10.7312/gans17884 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
