About Radical Suburbs: Counter to stereotypes, American suburbs have been fertile ground for utopian planning, communal living, and socially conscious design. Amanda Kolson Hurley describes the surprising history of alternative suburbs like a tiny-house anarchist colony in New Jersey and a racially integrated Fifties subdivision outside of Philadelphia. Radical Suburbs is a history that will help us remake the future and rethink our assumptions of suburbia.

Her work has appeared in The Atlantic, The Washington Post, Architect magazine, The American Scholar, and many other publications. She lives in Silver Spring.
