Rezensionen
"By setting their sights on the gentrified sites of the privileged and powerful, Krase and DeSena show us how the pandemic was lived with and through by those who had the means to cope with its damning effects which, as they reveal, leads to deep insights about and concern for the disadvantaged and marginalized."

Michael Ian Borer, Professor of Sociology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA

"This book offers an intriguingly intimate view of life during the Covid-19 pandemic in two gentrified Brooklyn neighbourhoods. Qualitative sociologists Jerome Krase and Judy DeSena show how a variety of people coped during the various lockdowns and the reopening stages. A must read for all academics and students interested in the subject".

Italo Pardo, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Kent, UK, and President of the International Urban Symposium-IUS

"Krase and DeSena combine visual and autoethnography to study social processes during the Covid-19 pandemic. Drawing on extensive research in Brooklyn, these two eminent sociologists stimulate academic debate on gentrification and neighbourhood dynamics and on the implications of the ethnographer's engagement in the field. A must-read for academics and students in the subject".

Giuliana B. Prato, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Kent, UK, and Chair of the IUAES Commission on Urban Anthropology

"Krase and DeSena continue to offer an acute perspective on the city in which they live and work. Through the lens of the Covid-19 pandemic, Krase and DeSena use their extensive knowledge of urban sociology and gentrification studies to provide a time-specific snapshot of how some of Brooklyn's residents responded to the risk and realities of the pandemic."

Gary Bratchford, Senior Lecturer in Photography, University of Central Lancashire, UK
