O knihe
This book provides a historical take on the phenomenon of citizen resistance movements to Wal-Mart store development. The research attempts to answer two key questions: what precipitates local citizen resistance to Wal-Mart, and what differentiates successful resistance from unsuccessful resistance. In doing so, the monograph adopts a case study approach, studying two suburban communities in Eastern Pennsylvania, Trexlertown and Manor Township, where resistance was unsuccessful and successful, respectively. Ultimately, the answers to these questions lie at the intersection of numerous social factors (including socioeconomic, demographic, and geographic considerations), as well as the structure and function of the local political environment.
