“…Indeed, Conzen (1980) has reminded us that since 1950 a popular and rising interest in local history has stimulated and informed scholarly work on both urban history and community studies.

Few historians would argue that our times are not characterized by a concern for community. What we have not acknowledged is that the rise of interest in community and neighborhood organization since the 1950s has coincided with a revolt against a deterministic notion of culture as a total way of life definitive of the possibilities of human behavior in particular locations or times. In the past two decades that revolt has centered on a quest for self‐fulfillment. This has led to a public policy dilemma and to a semiparalysis in politics, for in a community of liberated individuals in pursuit of self‐fulfillment there can be no public welfare toward which to work and to sacrifice and over which to argue and make compromises.
