{"pk":3353,"title":"The Struggle of Memory against Forgetting: Insurgent Histories and the Development of a New Suburban Praxis","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In this paper, I revisit the popular history of race and class in the suburbs to show that poor communities and communities of color have played a pivotal role in shaping contemporary suburban landscapes, using eastern Contra Costa County as a revealing example. I then draw on Leonie Sandercock’s concept of “insurgent historiographies” to argue that this insurgent history of the suburbs can and should redefine urban planning praxis today.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Essays","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0024f03m","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Chris","middle_name":"","last_name":"Schildt","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Berkeley","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2012-01-29T17:32:12-06:00","date_accepted":"2012-01-29T17:32:12-06:00","date_published":"2011-01-29T02:00:00-06:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucb_crp_bpj/article/3353/galley/2122/download/"}]}
