This study adds a new dimension to our understanding of the development of the deep inequalities that have existed (and continue to exist) in the U.S. housing market by looking closely at some material dimensions of everyday life that are so ordinary, so common, and so ubiquitous that they have largely escaped analysis. This book studies the politics of representation and the formation of cultural knowledge about ordinary houses and single-family domesticity in the postwar period.
