James and Nancy Duncan look at how the aesthetics of physical landscapes are fully enmeshed in producing the American class system. Focusing on an archetypal upper class American suburb--Bedford in Westchester County, NY--they show how the physical presentation of a place carries with it a range of markers of inclusion and exclusion. Genuinely innovative, Landscapes of Privilege is one of the first books to apply critical landscape theory to the social production of American elites.
