| Zusammenfassung: | Crestwood Heights is a study of a well-known Canadian community. It is located within the borders of one of Canada's big cities; its name symbolizes success, wealth, and social prestige; its inhabitants possess as many of the "good things of life" as most human beings ever aspire to. This penetrating study of how the people of "Crestwood Heights" live, how they raise and educate their children, how they compete socially and economically, is of absorbing interest -- not as a revelation of the basic unhappiness of a wealthy community, but as an illumination of the dilemmas in which modern Western middle-class people find themselves everywhere. Readers in any North American city will recognize at once the startling similarity between the problems of those who live in "Crestwood Heights," and of their own suburban dwellers. To the extent that each seeks to build his life nearer to the North American Dream, as depicted in films and glossy magazines, he will see his own perplexities and frustrations mirrored in Crestwood Heights. A team of highly trained social scientists spent five years in intensive research in order to compile the study. The people of "Crestwood Heights" responded with warmth and candour to the inquiries of the investigators -- as a highly educated and intelligent community, they were themselves deeply concerned with modern problems of living. The frankness of the admissions in this volume may surprise readers unaccustomed to the methods of modern social investigation, but they give to the book a reality and force which one ordinarily expects to find only in fiction. "Crestwood Heights" represents what life for the middle class in North America is coming more and more to be; it is the norm to which middle-class community life now tends to move. In "Crestwood Heights," attractive homes, complete with gardens and gadgets, line the well-kept streets, and nearby is Big City with its offices, university, hotels, and department stores -- |
