Summary:
"Sarah Fayen Scarlett's book examines the development and social consequences of suburbanization in Michigan's Copper Country. Scarlett argues that as mining towns began to fail in the late nineteenth century, an emerging middle-class elite began building architecturally unique housing, following national trends but using preexisting materials and company housing policies, to escape the multiethnic workers' housing within the old company town. This unusual form of suburbanization belies the assumption that suburbs and industry were independent developments"-- Provided by publisher.
