Sort of Utopia: Scarsdale, (New York), 1891 - 1981

by Carol A. O'Connor

Carol A. O'Connor brings to this book the perspective of a Scarsdale native. She began researching the suburb as a joint proposition to better understand herself and her neighbors and to lay the groundwork for her doctoral dissertation. Her personal motivation yielded to the overwhelming implications of her study for twentieth-century American social history. She is currently assistant professor of history at Utah State University.
