«The Moral Order of a Suburb» is the sociological study by M. P. Baumgartner, published by Oxford University Press in paperback (192 pages, in English).
Based on a year of interviews and observation in an affluent New York suburb, Baumgartner shows how neighbours avoid open conflict. That apparent calm rests on a 'moral minimalism': indifference, isolation and weak ties that, according to the author, prefigure the social order of American suburbs.
Originally published in 1991; includes bibliographic references.
Aimed at academics and readers interested in urban sociology, social control and life in American suburbs.
