Yet, despite this ubituity, with no formal definition of the contept, the suburbs have developed in our collective imagination through representations in popular culture, from Terry and June to Desparate Housewives. Rupa Huq examines how suburbia has been depicted in novels, cinema, popular music and on television, charting changing trends both in the suburbs and popular media consumption and production. She looks at the differences in defining suburbia in the US and UK and how characteristics associated with it have shifted in meaning and form."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aSuburban life 606 $aSuburbs in literature 606 $aSuburbs in mass media 606 $aSuburbs in motion pictures 606 $aSuburban life in popular culture 606 $aSuburbs 615 0$aSuburban life. 615 0$aSuburbs in literature. 615 0$aSuburbs in mass media. 615 0$aSuburbs in motion pictures. 615 0$aSuburban life in popular culture. 615 0$aSuburbs. 676 $a307.74 700 $aHuq$b Rupa$f1972-$0803454 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910138858103321 996 $aMaking Sense of Suburbia through Popular Culture$91804699 997 $aUNINA
