The Modern American Metropolis: A Documentary Reader introduces the history of American cities and suburbs through a collection of original source materials that historians have long used to make sense of the urban experience.
- Carefully integrates and juxtaposes the primary sources that are at the heart of the collection
- Revisits and compares issues and themes over time
- Reveals how the history of cities and suburbs is not limited to buildings, innovation, and politics, and not confined to municipal boundaries
- Explores a wide variety of topics, including infrastructure development, electoral politics, consumer culture, battles over rights, environmental change, and the meaning of citizenship
David M. P. Freund is Associate Professor of History at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the author of the award-winning Colored Property: State Policy and White Racial Politics in Suburban America (2007) and contributor to numerous educational, documentary, and public policy projects.
