Sidney Bremer, a professor of Urban and Public Affairs at the University of Wisconsin, mainly discusses the image of home life that American authors portray compared to the reality in which the modern person lives. She states that "home" has been portrayed by American culture as being "in the mythic permanency of a rural cottage" that is managed by a "purely white, motherly wife" (42). She argues that this is not a realistic image that fits our modern lifestyle. She says that "If are to feel at home in our changing urban world, we need images of home that are more fitting to our experiences" (47). Bremer also explains the importance of including community in the image of the household. Because of the diversity in cities, "home" is no longer always managed by white society alone. In her article, she explains the similarities and differences between the Jewish and the blacks of the Lower East Side and Harlem. .
