Christopher Niedt has assembled essays from historians, social psychologists, sociologists, and demographers, in order to investigate how political and social action arises and is organized in suburban locations. From issues of suburban space use to immigrant incorporation, the authors use both historic and contemporary examples to outline how residents unite to address distinct issues faced by suburbanites... This collection of essays will be of particular interest to researchers in the fields of urban studies and spatial demography, as many focus on the particular use of space within suburban environments, as well as the distinctions which set suburbs apart from cities as a unique spatial environment.\" - Contemporary Sociology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e  Christopher Niedt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART I   Race, Class, and Exclusion in the Twenty-First Century\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 Twenty-First-Century Suburban Demography: Increasing Diversity Yet Lingering Exclusion\u003cbr\u003e   Nancy A.
