Written Suburb An American Site, an Ethnographic Dilemma

Chadds Ford, an upscale suburb in southeastern Pennsylvania, devotes a lot of energy to creating a historical identity. Numerous institutions participate in this task, including museums, a land conservancy dedicated to the preservation of its historical landscape, and the Historical Society, which is responsible for an annual community celebration. Larger institutions related to regional tourism and suburban development generate a steady flow of texts about Chadds Ford in the form of glossy travel magazines, pamphlets, brochures, and gallery displays.Dorst, John D. is the author of 'Written Suburb An American Site, an Ethnographic Dilemma', published 1989 under ISBN 9780812212822 and ISBN 0812212827.
