"Suburban Affiliations" presents the reader with a thorough and
engaging study of the everyday civic and social relations that are
observed in suburban localities, in this case in Dublin, Ireland.
It provides insight into the ways in which suburbs develop and
consolidate across time, with the authors' analysis presented
against a backdrop of the extensive American and European
literature on suburbs. Drawing on four case studies, the authors
offer a wealth of sociological insights into the suburban
experience, demonstrating how particular examples can be drawn upon
to advance a general theory of suburban affiliations. They re-visit
the mainly negative assessment that has been made of the suburban
social fabric. The title, "Suburban Affiliations", underlies the
book's main conclusions. Residents in suburban estates are not
disaffiliated: they are in fact connected with the place where they
live and with each other, in many different ways. The book maps the
nature, quality and focus of these affiliations, paying particular
attention to attachment to place, the prevalence of social support
networks and levels of civic and social participation. As an
empirically grounded, contemporary study of everyday suburban
realities this book offers a wealth of timely and innovative
insights of interest not only to social scientists but also to
architects, planners, policy makers and the general public.
