These fears, and the restrictive covenants that embodied them, are the subject of Robert M. Fogelson's fascinating new book.As Fogelson reveals, suburban subdividers attempted to cope with the deep-seated fears of unwanted change, especially the encroachment of "undesirable" people and activities, by imposing a wide range of restrictions on the lots. These restrictions ranged from mandating minimum costs and architectural styles for the houses to forbidding the owners to sell or lease their property to any member of a host of racial, ethnic, and religious groups. These restrictions, many of which are still commonly employed, tell us as much about the complexities of American society today as about its complexities a century ago.SuburbsUnited StatesHistoryReal covenantsUnited StatesSuburban lifeUnited StatesHistorySuburbsHistory.Real covenantsSuburban lifeHistory.307.76/0973Fogelson Robert M1008839MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777785203321Bourgeois nightmares3785769UNINA06219nam 2200865 a 450 991096222500332120200520144314.09786612504266978128250426412825042669780226385099022638509410.7208/9780226385099(CKB)2550000000006837(EBL)481232(OCoLC)609855204(SSID)ssj0000681981(PQKBManifestationID)12240955(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000681981(PQKBWorkID)10678860(PQKB)11470927(MiAaPQ)EBC481232(DE-B1597)523558(OCoLC)1135589645(DE-B1597)9780226385099(Au-PeEL)EBL481232(CaPaEBR)ebr10364138(CaONFJC)MIL250426(dli)HEB07799(MiU)MIU01000000000000009826166(Perlego)1852955(EXLCZ)99255000000000683720031107d2004 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrDowntown America a history of the place and the people who made it /Alison Isenberg1st ed.Chicago University of Chicago Pressc20041 online resource (461 p.)Historical studies of urban AmericaDescription based upon print version of record.9780226385082 0226385086 9780226385075 0226385078 Includes bibliographical references (p.

"The Lights Are Much Brighter There" --List of Archival Collections --NOTES --INDEXDowntown America was once the vibrant urban center romanticized in the Petula Clark song-a place where the lights were brighter, where people went to spend their money and forget their worries. But in the second half of the twentieth century, "downtown" became a shadow of its former self, succumbing to economic competition and commercial decline. And the death of Main Streets across the country came to be seen as sadly inexorable, like the passing of an aged loved one. Downtown America cuts beneath the archetypal story of downtown's rise and fall and offers a dynamic new story of urban development in the United States. Moving beyond conventional narratives, Alison Isenberg shows that downtown's trajectory was not dictated by inevitable free market forces or natural life-and-death cycles. Instead, it was the product of human actors-the contested creation of retailers, developers, government leaders, architects, and planners, as well as political activists, consumers, civic clubs, real estate appraisers, even postcard artists. Throughout the twentieth century, conflicts over downtown's mundane conditions-what it should look like and who should walk its streets-pointed to fundamental disagreements over American values. Isenberg reveals how the innovative efforts of these participants infused Main Street with its resonant symbolism, while still accounting for pervasive uncertainty and fears of decline. Readers of this work will find anything but a story of inevitability. Even some of the downtown's darkest moments-the Great Depression's collapse in land values, the rioting and looting of the 1960's, or abandonment and vacancy during the 1970's-illuminate how core cultural values have animated and intertwined with economic investment to reinvent the physical form and social experiences of urban commerce. Downtown America-its empty stores, revitalized marketplaces, and romanticized past-will never look quite the same again. A book that does away with our most clichéd approaches to urban studies, Downtown America will appeal to readers interested in the history of the United States and the mythology surrounding its most cherished institutions.
