Race, Class, and Politics in the Cappuccino City

Derek S. Hyra

4.9/5 (32677 ratings)

Description:For long-time residents of Washington, D.C. s Shaw/U Street, the neighborhood has become almost unrecognizable in recent years. Where the city s most infamous open-air drug market once stood, a farmers market now sells grass-fed beef and homemade duck egg ravioli. On the corner where AM.PM carryout used to dish out soul food, a new establishment markets its $28 foie gras burger. Shaw is experiencing a dramatic transformation, from ghetto to gilded ghetto, where white newcomers are rehabbing homes, developing dog parks, and paving the way for a third wave coffee shop on nearly every block. Race, Class, and Politics in the Cappuccino City is an in-depth ethnography of this gilded ghetto. Derek S. Hyra captures here a quickly gentrifying space in which long-time black residents are joined, and variously displaced, by an influx of young, white, relatively wealthy, and/or gay professionals who, in part as a result of global economic forces and the recent development of central business districts, have returned to the cities earlier generations fled decades ago. As a result, America is witnessing the emergence of what Hyra calls cappuccino cities. A cappuccino has essentially the same ingredients as a cup of coffee with milk, but is considered upscale and double the price. In Hyra s cappuccino city, the black inner-city neighborhood undergoes enormous transformations and becomes racially lighter and more expensive by the year."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
