Reviews

Canadian Welfare:
"The scope of Professor Clark's inquiry...provides a broad and balanced prospective...his analysis constitutes a much needed antidote to the existing studies, and represents a valuable and lasting contribution to our understanding of the suburban phenomenon."

Maclean's Magazine:
"...a comparative study of suburbs...simply and straightforwardly written without a single word of sociological jargon. And it stands out from the vast and growing mass of studies of suburbia by being entirely free of the one thing most such studies have in common: the reduction of suburbs and their inhabitants to a handful of stereotypes—bored housewives, swarms of children, status-seeking, rigid conformity and suffocating togetherness. In sharp and welcome contrast, Professor Clark examines the special nature of each of the suburbs he deals with, in a manner detached enough to allow realistic appraisal, yet sympathetic enough to give proper consideration to suburbanities as the unstereotyped human beings they are."
