Small Town

Beschreibung

Small Town is a portrait of life in the rural crossroads of Grafton, N.Y..This book combines a kind of hand-crafted ethnographic research with personal reflections on the qualities of small town life that were being threatened by spreading cities and suburbs. It tries to define the essential qualities of small town community life and to link them to the best features of American culture. The book sparked numerous articles and debates in a baby-boom America nervously on the move.
