Abstract

Reviews in brief Cultural geographers have seen suburbs primarily in terms of the traditional marriage of town and country for the middle classes. However, evidence here of different ideologies, economic and social processes and actors fuelling suburban development demands a new cultural politics of suburbia, which can, in both historic and contemporary contexts, address the material base of these places and the lives within them. The primary concern of Manufacturing suburbs is industrial location. However, in a number of the more theoretically broad-based contributions to the volume, such as those by Richard Walker and Robert Lewis, Gunter Gad and Richard Harris’s concluding chapter, links between issues in the book and questions addressed by cultural geographers begin to be raised. Manufacturing suburbs also offers the novel prospect of a cultural geography of industrial location.
