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. 606 $aSuburbs$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aReal covenants$zUnited States 606 $aSuburban life$zUnited States$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSuburbs$xHistory. 615 0$aReal covenants 615 0$aSuburban life$xHistory. 676 $a307.76/0973 700 $aFogelson$b Robert M$01008839 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452043003321 996 $aBourgeois nightmares$92462696 997 $aUNINA
