Yet the contrast between suburban wealth and \u201cinner city\u201d poverty overlooks the stories of those living in suburbia who were unable to reach \u201cthe good life.\u201d In this episode Ben & Bob talk with Tim Keogh, whose new book In Levittown\u2019s Shadow: Poverty in America\u2019s Wealthiest Suburb (Univ. of Chicago Press, 2023), explores the history of suburbanization in Long Island, New York, and argues that post-WWII prosperity relied on those impoverished suburbanites who we\u2019ve since forgotten. Dr. Tim Keogh is assistant professor of history at Queensborough Community College, part of the City University of New York. This is a rebroadcast of RTN #291 which originally aired as "A Forgotten History of American Suburbs w\/ Tim Keogh" on December 4, 2023. This episode was edited by Ben Sawyer.
