Sociologist Stephen Klineberg presents groundbreaking research that shows how the city of Houston has emerged as a microcosm for Americaâs futureâbased on an unprecedented thirty-eight-year study of its changing economic, demographic, and cultural landscapes.
What The Reviewers Say
Sociologist Klineberg...gives a fascinating portrait of Houston in this debut.
Although perhaps too optimistic in his conclusion that Houstonians can help to build “a truly successful universal city and nation, the first of its kind in human history,” Klineberg supports his case with a wealth of survey research, interviews with experts, and user-friendly graphs, all of which make this book invaluable for anyone seeking a deep understanding of an underappreciated city.
Rice University sociologist Klineberg debuts with a lucid, data-driven look at Houston, Tex., based on original research tracking the demographics, economic prospects, cultural attitudes, and politics of city residents over the past 38 years.
