Second Suburb: Levittown, Pennsylvania edited by Dianne Harris

Abstract

The name "Levittown" usually conjures up images of Levittown, Long Island, New York. As a consequence, the second Levittown, located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, not far from Philadelphia, has generally been ignored by scholars of post–World War II automobile suburbs. Second Suburb, a collection of essays, recollections, and memoirs edited by Dianne Harris, begins to fill that void admirably.
