Abstract | The purpose of this article is to provide further insight into how local history can enhance a history curriculum. However, rather than focus on the exceptional, it will use things found in suburban communities to show how suburbs can inform wider understanding of American history and culture. It is intended to help teachers in suburban areas use their own communities as a basis for historical study and analysis, even though no battles, protests, or famous events may have occurred in these places. While suburbs are often derided for their banality and lack of distinctiveness, history can be found within them, and this history is vital to understanding life in modern America. (ERIC). |
