White Diaspora: The Suburb and the Twentieth-Century American Novel
Note status: 
In Brief
Jurca finds an emphasis on the suburb under siege, a place where the fortunate tend to see themselves as powerless. The suburban novel consistently casts property owners living in communities of their choosing as dispossessed people, a fantasy of victimization misunderstanding white flight as a white diaspora.
