Community and Social Change in America cover

Did urbanization kill communities in the 19th century, or even earlier? Many historians proclaim that it did, but author Bender says otherwise. Here he argues that community survived the trials of industrialization and urbanization and remains a fundamental element of American society.

Lively and provocative... A stunning critique of the definition of community common in twentieth-century theory... Graceful and intelligent throughout. American Historical Review
