| Résumé: | In Witnessing Suburbia, historian Eileen Luhr makes an argument for what she calls the twin pillars of evangelical activism: “the suburbanization of evangelicalism and the ‘Christianization’ of popular culture” (5). The development of an evangelical youth culture takes place against a backdrop of a burgeoning suburbia—which accounted for nearly half of the total population of the United States by the 1990s. A major theme running through the book is how this evangelical youth culture paradoxically clings to a rebellious outsider status while also embracing the white, middle-class, gender norms of suburban America and evangelical Christianity., Luhr begins with an instructive illustration of the struggle of evangelicals with popular culture. |
