Recenzje

This exciting, fresh, and timely collection Gentrification, Displacement, and Alternative Futures discusses the enduring and yet changing relationship between race and class with respect to processes of gentrification and offers a welcome and distinctive Latina/o/x consideration. A key focus is the necessary confrontation between neoliberalism and racialized mobilization in resisting market and state driven gentrification. This is a book that will add much to gentrification debates and that scholars and activists alike should buy!
Loretta Lees, University of Leicester

What does it mean to place the study of gentrification, as a necessarily racialized process of displacement and dispossession, at the very heart of critical urban theory? Here is a bold volume that does precisely this, drawing attention to the many modes of gentrification from cultural place-making to art washing to transit-oriented development. Refusing the inevitability of such spatial restructuring, the authors root their research and analysis in communities that imagine, demand, and create alternative futures.
