Produktbeschreibung
Bringing together scholarly but readable essays on the process of gentrification, this two-volume collection addresses the broad question: In what ways does gentrification affect cities, neighborhoods, and the everyday experiences of ordinary people? In this first volume of Gentrification around the World, contributors from various academic disciplines provide individual case studies on gentrification and displacement from around the globe: chapters cover the United States of America, Spain, Brazil, Sweden, Japan, Korea, Morocco, Great Britain, Canada, France, Finland, Peru, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Syria, and Iceland. The qualitative methodologies used in each chapter-which emphasize ethnographic, participatory, and visual approaches that interrogate the representation of gentrification in the arts, film, and other mass media-are themselves a unique and pioneering way of studying gentrification and its consequences worldwide.

Rezensionen
"Both volumes show that urban research is an indispensable source of ethnographic data precisely because it takes place in settings that are transformed, sometimes invisibly and sometimes clearly, and that these places act as mediators of social practice, a fact that in turn counteract through space and shape it. ... Krase and DeSena offer an excellent work, a springboard for knowledge and future research." (Manos Spyridakis, Urbanities-Journal of Urban Ethnography, Vol. 11 (1), May, 2021)
