 | Contested Ground: Collective Action and the Urban Neighborhood Drawing critically and selectively from Marxian theories of conflict and neo-Weberian theories of "housing classes," John Emmeus Davis argues that the political life of residential communities can be explained largely in terms of the competing interests that groups possess by virtue of different and distinctive ways of relating to their community's "domestic property"land and buildings that are used for shelter. John Emmeus Davis is Housing Director for the City of Burlington, Vermont. |
